Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
Launched in 2013 by renowned shipyard Cosmo Explorer, I NOVA represents a pinnacle of expedition yacht design and construction. This 49.75-metre vessel was entirely conceived by celebrated Italian designer Cristiano Gatto, whose distinctive vision defines every aspect of her character. Built to the highest standards with a welded steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she is ABS classed and MCA compliant, engineered for serious ocean-going capability without compromise on luxury.
I NOVA charter accommodates 12 guests across six beautifully appointed cabins arranged across five decks. The accommodation includes a full-beam master suite positioned on the main deck with integrated study, a VIP cabin on the upper deck, and four additional cabins on the lower deck comprising two double and two twin configurations. Each space reflects Gatto's refined approach to contemporary yacht interior design, balancing comfort with the functional elegance demanded by expedition voyages.
Powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M70 diesel engines, I NOVA cruises at 12 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 15 knots, with an impressive range of 5,500 nautical miles—enabling extended cruising beyond conventional Mediterranean parameters. Her ice-class hull designation underscores her expedition credentials, while her award-winning design was recognized at the 2014 ShowBoats Design Awards, validating her position among the industry's most respected explorer yachts.
The vessel's layout maximizes both operational efficiency and guest comfort. A professional crew of 12 manages all aspects of her operation and guest services, allowing owners and charter guests to experience seamless exploration across European waters and beyond. Her shallow draft and robust construction make I NOVA equally at home navigating remote coastlines and traditional cruising grounds.
Available year-round from Athens, the I NOVA charter experience exemplifies the adventurous spirit that defines modern exploration yachting—combining genuine seagoing capability with the refined hospitality and contemporary amenities expected by discerning clientele. Whether undertaking extended European itineraries or serving as a secure platform for exploration, she represents intelligent design meeting proven performance.
