Nova 40

Open-plan living defines the space aboard this design, with lateral bulwarks that fold flat to widen the deck at sea. Tureddi Yachts is building Nova 40 for delivery in 2028, a 40-metre yacht shaped for private use or, in time, charter.

Build and provenance

Nova 40 is a new design from Tureddi Yachts, drawn by Bicchierri Yacht Architects, with a lightweight aluminium hull. Her hull runs 40 metres with an 8.7-metre beam and a 2.2-metre draught, and Lloyd's Register carries her classification. The aluminium construction supports a cruising speed of 15 knots and 17 knots flat out.

Layout and accommodation

Eleven guests are accommodated across five cabins, with an option to add a further stateroom for owners who want more berths than the standard layout offers. The full-beam Owner's Stateroom includes its own lounge and direct access to the wellness spaces, and the main salon opens through full-height windows onto a formal dining area and an atrium-style lounge. A crew of nine looks after them.

Performance and engineering

Two Caterpillar engines, 1925 hp each, drive Nova 40 to a cruising speed of 15 knots and a top speed of 17 knots, figures that suit a fast passage-maker more than a slow-cruising explorer. Her range runs to 4,000 nautical miles, enough to bridge long ocean crossings before she needs to refuel.

Where she lies and how to see her

Nova 40 is being built in Turkey, where any viewing of her would take place before delivery. Boatcrowd puts that visit together and joins you for it, then once an offer is accepted we move straight to survey and sea trial ahead of handover.
