A €500,000 price drop has been announced on the 30.6-metre CBI Navi motor yacht Novela, listed for sale by Filip Jerolimov at IYC.
Designed by Luca Dini and Sasa Milosavljevic, she was delivered in 2000 as a strong, eminently seaworthy "little ship" with all the comforts of home. Offering large interior volumes, she was thoroughly refitted in 2013 and again in 2019, with new interior furnishings and a state-of-the-art audio/visual system.
The main deck saloon offers a large sofa and occasional chairs in a sumptuous crushed velvet texture, while a Grand Piano exudes a classy ambience. Forward and separated by custom-engraved glass artwork is the formal dining area, allowing easy flow between the two spaces.
Accommodation is for eight guests in an expansive split-level master suite on the main deck with an office and dressing room, plus a VIP suite and two convertible twin cabins below.
With extensive outdoor decks and large volumes for her size, Novela offers a setting for social gatherings and quiet retreats. Out on the main deck, a comfortable banquette sweeps the aft, paired with a dining table to encourage long lunches in the shade.
On the foredeck, a sunpad area with a retractable awning offers a prime spot to watch the surrounding views pass by while underway. Comfortable and private, this space can be used as the ultimate retreat on board.
Up a level, a second saloon, flush with sofas, features glass sliding doors that open out onto an al fresco dining space, creating a refreshing indoor-outdoor feel for warmer days and allowing a light breeze to flow indoors.
The perfect vessel for sun lovers, Novela has a large sunbathing area to enjoy throughout the day, as well as a supersized spa pool on the spacious flybridge. There are multiple outdoor seating areas, so guests can sit back, relax, and enjoy al fresco dining.
Novela is also host to a vast array of water toys and equipment, which includes kneeboards, wakeboards, paddleboards, a sailing dinghy, two Seabobs and two jet skis.
The top speed of the yacht for sale is 15.5 knots, and she boasts a maximum cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles at 12.5 knots, with power coming from twin Caterpillar diesel engines.
Novela is now asking €2,950,000.
