Who this yacht suits

NAUTILUS is not a generic inventory pick. It is a better match when the client wants a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status, a high-service event charter, and a route shaped around Mediterranean summer routes.

Local route logic

The local decision is less about distance and more about timing. Around Greece and Mediterranean, NAUTILUS should be planned with boarding point, lunch stop, swim time, and return window in one brief. In practice, confirm cruising region before comparing yachts because availability changes by season.

Planning window

peak season dates, when cruising area, berth access, and crew availability should be checked early. For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. availability, cruising area, and APA assumptions should be checked before presenting NAUTILUS as confirmed.

Guest experience

For guests, the difference is felt in pace: where people sit, how lunch is handled, where swimming fits, and how the return feels. NAUTILUS should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.

Shortlist logic

NAUTILUS should be compared against at least one alternative if the brief is flexible. The useful difference may be cabin layout, crew style, speed, toys, berth access, or how naturally the yacht fits Greece and Mediterranean.

Broker caveat

Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For NAUTILUS, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.

Profile

About NAUTILUS

Toys

Equipped with an extensive selection of action-packed water toys Nautilus lets you and your guests turn the Mediterranean into your own private playground. Take to the sea on the Jet Skis offering you power and control on the water. Guests can feel the wind in their hair and jump the waves on one of the four Seadoo WaveRunners. If you or a member of your party loves diving, then you'll appreciate the dive compressor and diving equipment. If that isn't enough Nautilus also features a seabob, kayaks, inflatable water toys, paddleboards and snorkelling equipment. Nautilus features four tenders, but leading the pack is a 9.2m/30'2" Cockwells Jet Tender to transport you in style.

Overview

The 239.50ft/73m Custom expedition yacht NAUTILUS was delivered from the Picchiotti shipyard in 2014 and bears an exterior styled by Philippe Briand whilst her refreshing interior has been designed by Remi Tessier. Setting out to create a superyacht which would exude Zen and possess a greener carbon footprint, the multi award-winning NAUTILUS features a range of luxury amenities arranged around a design which privileges both space and comfort. Powered by hybrid diesel-electric plants, and including a dynamic positioning system, the high volume superyacht is also exceptionally quiet both when underway and at-anchor.

Wellness

The upper deck is completely dedicated to wellness, with a spa, massage suite, hydrotherapy bath, and even a hair salon on offer for guests in need of some refreshment. As well as being annexed by small and casual dining tables, the space is flanked by large windows to create a suitably harmonious tone. Enclosed by expansive sliding windows, the gymnasium on offer brings together all of the equipment and facilities necessary for a truly satisfying workout whilst looking out across the ocean.

Exterior Design

Designed by the French naval architect Philippe Briand, the elegant hull of superyacht NAUTILUS was shaped with both hydrodynamics and space in mind. Indeed, whilst her plumb bow ensures efficient performance, it also maximises the waterline length and provides plenty of volume for the French designer Remi Tessier to carry out his iconic minimalist styling to full effect. On the sundeck, Tessier has extended his usual preference for uninterrupted spaces to produce an environment which nicely captures the Zen the owner’s specifically requested. Anticipating both sunbathers and leisurely guests, a number of custom sunpads which are able to rotate 360° have been partnered with similarly bespoke sun loungers with built-in biminis for instant shade. Keen to provide every reason to enjoy meals alfresco, a table has been slightly lowered to provide a private and intimate dining experience with unobstructed views extending well over the ocean. Naturally, there’s a sizable Jacuzzi on the main deck aft in order to take in the tropical climate in style, and a coffee bar at the aft deck which can be easily converted to a cocktail bar when the evening calls for more drinks. Perhaps the crowning feature of the exterior is the LEDs which have been installed above the social areas, which, when lit, discreetly communicate to the crew that guests are politely asking for a degree of privacy. Getting between these various areas could not be easier, as Superyacht NAUTILUS features a walk around layout which nicely lends itself for brisk evening strolls at sunset. With her tender garage opening up on the port side, guests are able to enjoy the sizable swim platform off the stern of NAUTILUS without having to compete for room with inflatable toys and snorkelling equipment. Of course, the more adventurous party members will be only too satisfied with the range of toys on offer, and there’s assuredly endless hours of fun on the water to be had.

Interior Design

In the interior of superyacht NAUTILUS lighting plays a huge role. Indeed, overhead lighting, recessed lighting, and even illuminated furniture combine to create a quietly sophisticated ambience which is at the same time wholly inviting. Space also plays a big role in the interior- there’s over two metres of headroom in the main salon, for instance, and the layout is largely open-plan to make moving through the yacht a memorable experience in itself. In terms of texture, Tessier has selected an assortment of light sycamore, bleached wenge, and even some high gloss ebony for certain window frames. With careful attention to contouring and accents of palladium, both the social and private spaces found indoors are as comfortable as they are aesthetically impressive. The main salon, for example, bears a light grey colour scheme and multiple seating options surrounding a collection of coffee tables. Instead of an abundance of decorative fixtures, Tessier has simply added a unique artwork by the American artist Edward Ruscha, a finishing touch which completes the area in a suitably outstanding fashion. Other areas inside are entirely consistent with such a principle- the additional salon and dining area both provide lounging options in a strikingly contemporary setting. Unsurprisingly, such an impressive interior ultimately led NAUTILUS to receive a number of awards at the Monaco Yacht Show Awards the year she was delivered, and continues to impress every kind of charter guest she welcomes on-board.

Special Features

When designing NAUTILUS, her owners paid particular attention to methods which would adequately reduce the noise on board. Via multiple strategies including sound dampening and other innovative approaches, decibel readings in the master suite when cruising at 14 knots showed there was only 42.6dB- which could be heard- a level just above a whisper. What’s more, eco-friendly systems have been installed to ensure less damage to the waters the superyacht moves through. Such engineering features include an exhaust route which mitigates fumes as well as a waste management process which operates at optimum efficiency. As an expedition yacht, NAUTILUS also comes with dynamic positioning, a system which allows her to remain stationary without the use of an anchor as well as having greater manoeuvrability around ports.

Performance Range

As a custom displacement yacht, NAUTILUS also features ‘at anchor stabilisers’ which work at zero speed, increasing onboard comfort whilst at anchor or on rough waters. NAUTILUS is built to comply to MCA and Lloyds Register standards. With a cruising speed of 14 knots, a maximum speed of 16.5 knots and a range of 7,000nm from her 185,000litre fuel tanks, she is the perfect combination of performance and luxury.

Guest Accommodation

Spread across two decks, the seven cabins available to guests each possess large windows to allow for an abundance of natural light to complement the electric lighting on offer. Similar to the social spaces, all of the cabins are outfitted with bright and comfortable furnishings, meaning that guests can enjoy time alone whilst not having to sacrifice an inch on the beauty of their surroundings. The master suite on the main deck includes his and hers bathrooms nicely separated by a limestone bath, as well as additional seating on either side of the bed.
