Nivasa

A full-beam master suite on a 69-foot yacht is a design decision, not an accident: it takes the width of the hull and hands it to one cabin rather than splitting it in two. Sirena Yachts built Nivasa to that plan in 2022, and it sets the tone for the whole layout.

Build and provenance

The Sirena 68 is a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, built to a CE Category A Ocean classification, the rating for open-water passages rather than sheltered cruising alone. Wide side decks and high bulwarks are part of the same design language, aimed at owners who like to run their own boat rather than hand it entirely to crew. For a 2022 launch, that combination of classification and layout tells a buyer this is a yacht built for range as much as for looks.

Layout and accommodation

Nivasa sleeps eight guests in four cabins: the full-beam master, a VIP stateroom, a twin cabin and a bunk cabin. A dedicated laundry area sits apart from the guest quarters, and the crew have their own quarters aft with private access, a separation that keeps service out of sight rather than through the middle of the accommodation deck.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta D13 engines give Nivasa a 16-knot cruise and a 26-knot top speed, enough to cover ground quickly when a passage calls for it rather than settling for a slow displacement pace. She carries 1,387 gallons of fuel and 370 gallons of water, tankage built for days away from a marina, not just an afternoon out. A bow thruster, a stern thruster and joystick control put close-quarters docking within reach of an owner-operator, and stabilisers keep her steady underway.

On deck and at anchor

The aft deck carries a BBQ and a hydraulic swim platform that extends the swimming platform out over the water, turning the transom into the yacht's main gathering point. WiFi and Starlink keep guests connected at anchor as easily as at the dock.

Where she lies and how to see her

Nivasa lies in Fort Lauderdale. Boatcrowd arranges a viewing and is there with you when you step aboard, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and set up the sea trial.
