Novurania of America, the well known yacht tender builder based out of Vero Beach, Florida, is delighted to report that in partnership with Nautical Ventures of Dania Beach, Florida, as well as International Yacht Network, it has acquired the assets of NAUTICA INTL.
Robert Collada President of Novurania of America notes, “We have become the sole manufacturer of the Nautica Boat Line and co-owner of all Nautica molds through the Bank Auction recently held in Ft Lauderdale this past October. Novurania is known for its reputation to produce high end and high quality tenders ranging in size from 11 to 38 feet. By adding some of the Nautica molds to its line, it will expand its sales base to include larger outboard and inboard models. We will be adding the small jet line, the Wide Body Line, the Express Line, the Catamaran range and a larger Cabin boat.
“This is an exciting time for Novurania”, Collada says, “not only are we expanding our product line but we are also expanding overseas with a new sales office based in Italy and headed by longtime product development and sales manager Hank Brady.”
Novurania will also be introducing Commercial boats ranging from 28 to 42 feet including the closed cabin boats. This new addition to the Novurania line further broadens it’s market share.
“I have built some commercial boats in the past – says Collada – with these new designs we will be able to expand in to the commercial market.”
“It is important to note”, Collada says, “that we did not acquire the company, I have no parts for existing Nautica boats; we encourage Nautica customers to contact Nautical Ventures, its sales team and service center in Ft Lauderdale.”
