Italian yacht builder Cantiere delle Marche has launched Nasiba, the third unit in its Flexplorer 146 series. 

Built with a steel hull, Nasiba offers striking visual parallels with the earlier model, Maverick, yet introduces distinct features and layout innovations spread across the superyacht’s four decks. 

While both Nasiba and its predecessor remain true to the explorer yacht ethos with elements like the disappearing A-frame crane for deploying tenders, Nasiba includes a more family-centric layout. 

There’s a specific space designed for the owners’ children, emphasizing educational and recreational activities, which is a feature not found in earlier Flexplorer 146 models. The superyacht also has an infra-red sauna and a chilled plunge pool.

This oceangoing vessel is equipped with a “panoramic crow’s nest” and has been constructed to support a global travel itinerary, ensuring comfort, sustainability and a family-oriented experience at sea.

Its interior, designed by London-based design agency Winch Design, focuses heavily on eco-consciousness, using natural, safe and non-toxic materials to create a serene environment and highlighting earth tones. 

The yacht  accommodates 12 guests, plus four more on pullman beds across six staterooms, with space for 14 crew in seven cabins.

“The owner envisioned a yacht that could take his family anywhere in the world without compromising comfort, privacy or environmental responsibility,” said Vasco Buonpensiere, CEO of Cantiere delle Marche, in a news release from the yacht builder. “Nasiba is a perfect reflection of their approach to life. She is a bold yet refined interpretation of what the modern explorer yacht can be, one that fuses performance, comfort, and sustainability into a vessel designed to embrace the world’s most remote destinations with family at its core.”

Nasiba is 145 feet in length, with a maximum beam of 28 feet. It is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines, achieving a top speed of 14 knots with a reported range of 5,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, making it well-suited for long-distance cruising.
