Admiral Tecnomar announces the formal delivery of the Nadara 40-meter motoryacht "Low Profile". The triple-deck all-aluminium motoryacht features accommodation for ten guests in five cabins inclusive of a full-beam master suite. The two-toned grey paintjob runs easy of the eyes with a darker grey on the hull and a much softer/lighter grey on the superstructure.

The Master Suite as said before is full-beam in nature and is situated forward on the main deck. It benefits from large rectangular windows to welcome masses of natural light to that part of the interior. The master suite is a luxurious affair, on the floor there is a precious ivory and blue carpet acts as a so-called 'tray' to the four-poster bed with tufted headboard. The master bathroom has glass wash-basins, a marble floor with inserts or accent materials like steel and diamond design and chromotherapy shower and bathtub.
There are four guest cabins onboard and they are located on the lower deck. The arrangement called for two twin bed cabins, a double, and a large VIP-type cabin with ensuite studio. All cabins feature high-quality finish headboard in different colours for each room and custom ceiling finishes with crystal inserts for a high-end appeal. On the outside, each deck especially towards the aft, has ample room to relax. The sun deck functions as a terrace allowing great views all around. There is a large jacuzzi to the aft of the sundeck flanked by sunpads. There is also a wet bar with marble and glass top and a barbecue corner, entertainment! Just because she keeps a Low Profile doesn't mean she can't sprint when called upon. Top speed is in the region of 26-knots. Look out for her in a marina near-you in the future.

Dutch builder Moonen Shipyards recently received a new order for the <200 GT luxury motor yacht 'Matica'.

The luxury yacht Matica now represents the second project signed from Moonen’s brand new Caribbean series in the space of only two months. Having just started working on the 340 GT luxury yacht ‘Martinique’, Moonen’s quality craftsmen will now also set to work on the new order in the Matica size. The Caribbean Series was only unveiled by Moonen a couple months ago.
“The first contacts with the future owner of the first ‘Matica’ translated into a signed contract within only ten weeks,” explains Emile Bilterijst, managing director of Moonen Shipyards. “The yacht will be built for experienced owners who have previously cruised mainly in the Mediterranean region and are now looking to increase their cruising area.
“Their desire to explore the Caribbean and other parts of the world led the clients to seek a seaworthy, semi-custom yacht that could be customised to their specific demands. This includes the boat being just below 200 GT with the max volume possible, which will offer a range of benefits from an operational perspective. The exact length of this Matica will become clear once we embark on the naval architecture process.”
Like all models in Moonen’s Caribbean series, luxury yacht Matica has been designed by Rene van der Velden. This <200 GT motoryacht will have a raised pilot house design with the owners’ suite on the main deck as a special request. The interior design brief has gone to the Adam Lay Studio in England. By the time she is launched in the summer of 2016, Matica yacht will also benefit from Moonen’s quality control standard. Her owners, like all Moonen clients, will also have the comfort and convenience of Moonen’s warranty terms and renowned after-sales service.
