Turkish shipyard Nebula Yachts has signed a contract for the build of a 63.5-metre superyacht known as NBL 103.
Commissioned by an experienced owner, the project takes inspiration from his previous build, sailing yacht All About U, and aims to "blend the elegance of a sailing yacht with the comfort of a motor yacht," according to the yard. Construction is already underway with the keel laying ceremony held last month.
NBL 103 features design by Adeo Yacht Design with naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects, the latter of which worked on the previous All About U.
The new build promises "expansive deck areas" granted by a "wide hull" and a 12-metre beam. Key features include wraparound windows on the main deck, fold-down bulwarks on the swim platform and a bright blue hull.
The interiors are light and airy with mostly neutral shades, light-wood parquet flooring and pops of muted colour. The main saloon features a lounge to port with a wine cellar showpiece, and a longitudinal dining table to starboard with a bar upon entry.
Other areas of note include the sundeck, with a square-shaped sit-up bar with seating that hugs the forward curve, shaded al fresco dining on the main deck and a beach club lounge with a gym.
"We are thrilled to introduce the stunning 63.5-metre motor yacht," said Serkan Surer, CEO of Nebula Yachts. "This project represents our passion for craftsmanship and innovation, creating unforgettable moments for our valued clients."
NBL 103 will be built to RINA class and is expected to have a top speed of 16 knots.
Also under construction at Nebula Shipyard is a 57-metre motor yacht with delivery in summer 2024.
