This cold-molded, Custom Gentlemans Motor Yacht 'NOI QAUTTRO' is unquestionably the ultimate in her size range; she was built to the highest standards in the United Kingdom for her first British owner and was often described as the best yacht of her size in the Mediterranean. She oozes style, comfort and performance in a very well-specified and understated package.
Designed around the Express Cruiser / Downeast / Lobster / Picnic Boat styling this yacht is unlike other similar boats many of which have "corridor accommodation". From the impressive wheelhouse deck galley where you can serve a full meal for six cooked on the electric BBQ, you go below decks to a huge U-shaped Saloon and fully equipped main Galley area where a full inventory of domestic equipment is anticipated not an added extra.
Certainly not a boat for lunch and dinner - a fine motor yacht for extended cruising with family and friends. After all, if you want the company she sleeps eight adults in two doubles and two drop-down U-shaped saloon seating areas.
Her master cabin has so much full-beam space between the cabin door and the foot of the island bed that you feel like you are on a much larger boat, a true home-from-home feeling throughout enhanced by her very high-quality interior joinery and fittings.
With a second bathroom at the foot of the companionway steps which doubles as a day/guest head along with a self-contained guest cabin offers friends their own private accommodation.
Powered by the very latest Volvo IPS engines with twin counter-rotating propellers mounted on steerable pods under the hull offers the ultimate in 360-degree docking, reduced fuel consumption / greater range, and reduced emissions. With reduced sound levels and the engine fumes exhausting through the center of the propellers. There is no diesel smell when traveling at low speed downwind which is normally a real problem for conventional wheelhouse shaft-driven / stern-drive motor yachts.
This Motor Yachts dedicated Yacht Controller Maximo System coupled with Volvo Penta's IPS / Joystick control provides fingertip handling with perfect precision making docking and close-quarter maneuvering simple, even fun. Forget complicated maneuvres in crowded marinas, just move the the control in any direction and she will follow. At speed, in addition to the conventional wheel and throttle controls, if you wish you can maneuver her with precision at all speeds.
Aft of the large cockpit, which benefits from a retractable bimini shade, the hydraulic lifting tender lift/bathing platform is a real feature on this motor yacht whether lowering, either just above or just below the waters surface, for swimmers or alternatively using the remote control until lowering it further to simply load a tender full of shopping on board...
At sea the hull of this Gentlemans Motor Yacht performs as you would expect from the world-renowned team at TT Boat Design, originators and designers of the Nelson range amongst many other well-known leisure and commercial hull designs.
Blue hull, white superstructure, varnished toe rail, superyacht quality stainless anchor, rails and fittings together with her exposed laminated wheelhouse frames turn the heads of owners of even the largest superyachts when she is in port.
Owners Comments
This head-turning motor yacht is a kind and gentle boat, much loved, and I hope will be equally loved by her new owners.
Brokers Comments
The worldwide sought-after trend of Express Cruiser / Downeast / Lobster / Picnic Boat styled Motor Yachts from brands like Hinkley Talara and Picnic Boat, Grand Banks Eastbay, Back Cove, Hunt Harrier, Dale Neslon, Oyster and Cockwells spawned a number of custom / semi-custom boats where owners wanted to go one stage further with specification and detail.
This Gentlemans Motor Yacht embodies that passion through its first and two subsequent owners and features like the hydraulic bathing platform which make for safe bathing and tender lift/launch (even with supplies in the tender), the laminated wooden frames around the wheelhouse, deck head in the saloon and cabins, huge saloon and ensuite master cabin with island berth, large volume bow for great sea keeping, expansive wheelhouse and aft cockpit for entertaining and machinery access as well as being constantly maintained and improved throughout its life (Recent Upgrades shown by date in the full details), bottom cleaned every month with a professional diver all make this a boat that has to be on any discerning buyers "must-see" list.
Having personally spent considerable time enjoying this exceptional motor yacht, I highly recommend arranging a viewing. In the meantime, in collaboration with the current owner, I have compiled a list of questions and answers regarding her current condition, which can be found at the end of this specification.
