NATASSA: a quick motor yacht with a Seabob, a Jet Ski and a Jacuzzi
NATASSA is a motor yacht for guests who would rather spend the day in the sea than watch it slip past. She moves quickly and smoothly between anchorages, and the time saved on passage goes to swimming, exploring and long meals outside. She has been refitted, and her crew look after the running of each day, from choosing where to stop to having the toys ready before anyone asks. In Greece, where she cruises, that pace suits a coastline on which the next cove is rarely far away.
Her water toys give each guest a different way into the sea. The Seabob pulls a swimmer along just beneath the surface, quiet and effortless, while water skiing, the tube and the Jet Ski bring speed and laughter for those with energy to spare. Anyone who prefers stillness can take the paddleboard along the shore or use the snorkelling equipment over a rocky ledge. A fishing rod waits for whoever is content to cast from the stern as the afternoon cools. With so varied a spread, she suits a party whose tastes differ.
When the shore calls, the Novurania tender runs guests in to a quay, a beach or a small harbour and collects them whenever they are ready to return. Back on board, the Jacuzzi is the place to settle once the swimming is over, warm water around you and open sea on every side. As evening comes the BBQ is lit, and dinner can be served outside with nothing to hurry it along, while the crew see to the yacht and leave the evening entirely to her guests.
Inside, the salon stereo sets the mood for a slow evening, and Smart TVs offer a film after a long day outdoors. WiFi is there for those who need to stay in touch and is just as easily ignored by those who do not. Spacious and easy to live aboard, she is a yacht for travelling well rather than simply travelling far: brisk when there is distance to cover, calm once the anchor is down, and run by a crew whose work is to make each day feel unhurried and complete.
