Nirvana

Italy-based design studio Bicubedesign, has revealed a new 14-metre tender, which combines design with modern construction techniques and created specifically 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 two bi-xenon lights embedded in the deck, making the bow even more impressive. In particularly, Nirvana is characterised by organic ribs that run up the side of the boat until they disappear into the air intake scoop.”

Inspired by the shape of the canyon rocks in Antelope, US, the tender is able to carry up to six guests and includes a guest cabin with bathroom and 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 a 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 is a swimming platform, which is possible to extend outward when the tender is anchored, doubling the space available.

To be constructed from a glass and epoxy resin using a sandwich technique, the tender will be powered by two IPS600 engines, producing 435 hp each.
