NISI Yachts is excited to announce that the lovely NISI 1700 Vantage yacht has been honoured with the 2014 Asia Boating Award in the “Best Asian Built Yacht” category.
The perfect yacht for an extended weekend, motor yacht NISI 1700 infuses the elegance of a downeast boat, the spaciousness of a true motor yacht, and the racy feel of a sport cruiser into one incredible design. Performance exceeds 40-knot top and 33-knot cruise speeds. Finalists in this category included the Grand Banks motor yacht 76 Aleutian RP, Horizon RP110′ luxury yacht Andrea VI and IAG 104′ superyacht Electra.
