A closer look at Delta Marine’s 156-foot Noverra, a world cruiser chartering for $245,000 per week this winter.
Ultra-luxury living has officially moved offshore. As advancements in yacht design and engineering continue to blur the line between five-star resorts and private vessels, today’s top-tier superyachts deliver Michelin-level dining, spa-like interiors, and cross-continent range directly to the open ocean. At $245,000 per week, the Delta Marine–built Noverra lands squarely in that sweet spot where serious craftsmanship meets real-world usability. Offered for winter charter through Ikonic Yachts, the 156-foot aims to deliver an unwavering experience that appeals to seasoned charter clients, those who value range, comfort, and thoughtful design just as much as polished teak and champagne sunsets. Built in 2011 by the respected American yard Delta Marine and redesigned in 2021 and 2022, Noverra arrives fully sorted and ready for long-range exploration.
From the outside, Noverra’s lines are modern without being overstyled, a balance that’s increasingly hard to find in contemporary luxury yachts. Its composite hull and GRP superstructure provide strength and efficiency, while a generous 8.7-meter beam and shallow 2.5-meter draft offer impressive seakeeping and access to more intimate cruising grounds. This is a yacht designed to cross oceans comfortably, then slip into anchorages that larger, deeper vessels simply can’t reach. It’s a practical advantage that becomes very real once you’re plotting itineraries beyond the usual postcard stops.
Step inside and the tone shifts from expedition-ready to residential calm. The interior by Delta Design Group combines European chestnut, walnut, wenge, and Macassar ebony with a neutral palette that feels more like a modern waterfront home than a traditional superyacht. Large windows flood the main salon with natural light, keeping the space relaxed and livable rather than overly formal. Accommodations are arranged for up to 12 guests across five staterooms, anchored by a full-beam master suite on the main deck with 180-degree views, a private office, and a generous en suite ideal for owners or charterers planning extended time onboard.
Outdoor spaces are where Noverra really earns its charter reputation. Shaded al fresco dining, multiple lounging zones, a flybridge Jacuzzi, and a well-proportioned bar setup make it easy to spend entire days outside without feeling exposed or crowded. Whether it’s long lunches at anchor or quiet evenings underway, the layout favors flexibility over spectacle. Underway, twin MTU 16V4000 engines deliver a comfortable 12–13 knot cruise and a top speed near 21 knots, while zero-speed stabilizers keep things composed both at sea and on station. With a range of roughly 3,300 nautical miles, Noverra is built for itineraries that go well beyond the ordinary. At $245,000 per week, Noverra offers an ultra-luxury yacht experience that is considered rather than contrived.
