The Italian studio Bicubedesign presents its latest 14m Nirvana yacht tender. The Nirvana yacht represents a mixture of design and contemporary construction techniques. She has been specifically developed for use around harbours.
“Nirvana can be seen as the modern version of Mas boats from the 30s and 40s, but totally reinterpreted,” explains naval architect at Bicubedesign, Andrea De Giuli. “What remains is the forceful-looking bow, which creates a great visual impact thanks to the two bi-xenon lights embedded in the deck, making the bow even more impressive. Nirvana is mainly characterised by organic ribs that run up the side of the boat until they disappear in the air.”
Inspired by the shape of the canyon rocks in Antelope, US, the Bicube Nirvana yacht tender is able to carry up to six guests, including a guest cabin with bathroom as well as a full-height wardrobe towards the foredeck. The cockpit features a large seating area with a small fridge and sink area located on the opposite side. Aft of the boat is an asymmetrical sunbed for guests to relax, which can be covered thanks to a bimini top that is deployed from within the structure of the boat. At the stern there is a swimming platform, with possibility to be extended outward when the tender is anchored, doubling the space available.
Constructed from a glass and epoxy resin using a sandwich technique, the Nirvana yacht will be powered by two IPS600 engines, producing 435 hp each.
