Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 19.5m beam and a 5.15m draft. The yacht is built over 6 decks with an internal volume of 10,154 GT (Gross Tonnes). The design also incorporates a heli-pad.
Construction started in mid 2017 with the keel laid under the project name 'Opus'. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in July 2020 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in February 2021.
Exterior Design
Nord's bold silhouette is characterized by a revolutionary bow design, which has set a new precedent within the industry. The striking black-painted arch that sweeps across her aluminium superstructure is a testament to the innovation and creativity that Nuvolari-Lenard is renowned for.
Nord's imposing presence is further enhanced by her Ice Class hull, signifying not only her capability to navigate through the most challenging of icy waters but also her remarkable strength and engineering prowess. The design team has meticulously integrated functionality with elegance, resulting in a vessel that exudes the robustness of a warship while maintaining the sophisticated allure of a gentleman's yacht.
The yacht's exterior spaces are thoughtfully planned to offer an array of luxurious amenities and features. Her expansive beach club and tender garage provide ample storage for an impressive collection of tenders, a submarine, and an ROV, ensuring that guests can explore the surrounding waters with ease. The largest tender stretches an impressive 15 meters in length, accompanied by a dedicated watersports and dive centre on the lower deck.
Nord boasts not one, but two helicopter landing pads, providing exceptional convenience for guests. The primary touch-and-go helipad is positioned at the bow, designed to resemble the deck of an aircraft carrier. Meanwhile, the secondary helipad is situated atop the bridge deck, complete with a sophisticated hangar that offers protection for the owner's helicopter during long voyages. This hangar, when deployed, seamlessly integrates with the yacht's design, maintaining her sleek profile.
Onlookers are captivated by the extraordinary 25-metre-long swimming pool on the main deck aft, a rarity even among superyachts of this caliber. This is complemented by a spa pool on the upper deck, providing a sanctuary of relaxation for guests. The yacht's bridge wings and the purposeful arrangement of satellite domes on her mast further accentuate her commanding and masculine stance.
Interior Design
The integration of a gym, spa, and sauna within the yacht's interior layout ensures that wellness and relaxation are at the forefront of the onboard experience. A dedicated beauty salon further enhances the level of pampering available to guests, ensuring that they are catered to with the utmost care. For entertainment, Nord boasts a state-of-the-art cinema, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the magic of the movies while surrounded by the serenity of the ocean.
