A Sanlorenzo with folding terraces, a fast chase boat and a deep store of toys
NAIA is a Sanlorenzo motor yacht with sleek, modern lines and an interior refitted with a calm, contemporary hand. Folding terraces open at her sides, turning rooms within into open-air places to sit with the sea close at hand. Stabilisers keep her settled when she is running between anchorages and when she is lying quietly in a bay. You notice the difference at the dinner table and on the first night aboard. Air conditioning, WiFi and a bar in the salon make the inside somewhere to linger rather than simply pass through on the way to the deck.
Her water toys are unusually varied, and much of the collection rewards guests who want to learn something or to push further. There is a Seadoo Spark Trixx jet ski, a Seabob, a Jobe Infinity Seascooter and an E-foil Carbon Classic for gliding above the surface. Men's and women's Liquid Force wakeboards and a Liquid Force Rocket wakesurf board run behind the chase boat, with waterskis for adults and teenagers alike. Duotone kitesurfing gear comes in men's and women's sets with a range of kites. There is also a Takuma wing foil, paddleboards, inflatables to tow and a SeaRaft platform to lounge on.
Below the surface, Mares snorkelling sets and scuba equipment, with a Coltri compressor aboard to fill tanks, let divers explore without a trip back to shore. Anglers will find tackle for deep-sea fishing. The Axopar Cross Cabin chase boat, from the Brabus line, carries guests further and faster to a distant beach, a dive site or lunch ashore. A Williams diesel jet tender handles the shorter runs. The crew fly a DJI Mavic Pro drone and handle the GoPro cameras, so a day of kiting or diving comes home on film while everyone on board stays in the moment.
The crew's care reaches well beyond the water. Her chef cooks for the table aboard, and cocktails are mixed at the salon bar for the hour when the toys come in and the light begins to soften. She cruises in Greece, and her chase boat and tender let a day stretch from the yacht to the shore and back again without hurry. Whether a guest spends the hours on a kite or simply watching the water from a folding terrace, the return aboard is quiet and settled. Attentive service and her stabilised calm make it part of the pleasure of the day.
