Noi

A crew of four looking after eight guests is a lean ratio for a 28-metre yacht, and it suits Noi’s brief. Riva built her in 2020 as an Argo 90, sized for an owner who wants to run her personally rather than hand her fully over to a crew.

Build and provenance

She is a Riva build, model Argo 90, a sports motor yacht on a GRP monohull delivered in 2020. Officina Italiana drew her exterior and interior lines, carrying a low, sporty profile through both. At 28 metres with a beam of 6.5 metres and a draft of 2.2 metres, Noi sits shallow enough for the kind of close-in coastal running an owner-driver wants.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, and the master suite sits on deck, full beam, rather than below with the other three. A crew of four keeps their own quarters apart from the guest areas. The main salon holds a glass dining table for eight, the galley is fitted with Miele appliances and laid out for a professional pace, and Calacatta Austral marble with panelled woods carries through the interior for a bright, contemporary finish.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,435 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96 engines take Noi to 30 knots flat out and a 17-knot cruise, pace that suits her sporty hull rather than a slow displacement passage. Twin gyroscopic stabilisers, one set for anchor and one for way, keep her level at rest and under power, and thrusters at bow and stern make her easy for an owner to handle without a full crew on the lines. Fuel tanks hold 8,700 litres and fresh water 1,230 litres, tankage suited to day range rather than long crossings.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the beach club, sunpads, an outdoor shower and a barbecue set up the platform for day use, and a crane assists launching tenders and toys. A gym is fitted below for guests who want to keep a routine at anchor, and wi-fi and air conditioning cover the practical side of living aboard.

Where she lies and how to see her

Noi lies in Olbia, Italy. Boatcrowd arranges viewings on the spot and is there for each one, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands. She is also part of our charter fleet, so a buyer can book a week aboard through her charter page before deciding to buy.
