Italy’s Cantiere delle Marche has launched Nasiba, the third unit of the builder’s Flexplorer 146 series. Built for young, adventurous owners, Nasiba reflects the spirit of the Flexplorer line—bold, seaworthy, and adaptable, while bringing a personal, family-oriented approach to world cruising.
Drawing visual parallels with Maverick more than their sister ship Mat, Nasiba distinguishes herself with many unique features across her four decks, including a panoramic crow’s nest. A capable oceangoing vessel, she was conceived to support an ambitious itinerary while providing a comfortable and sustainable environment for a family at sea.
From the outset, the owner was deeply involved in the creative and technical process, working in close collaboration with CdM and design studio Hydro Tec to develop a yacht tailored for long-term living and global travel. The result is a vessel that integrates function, elegance and family life into a platform designed for the open ocean. To handle large tenders and toys, Nasiba is equipped with the Flexplorer’s signature A-frame crane discreetly housed within a flush deck compartment when not in use.
Winch Design created yacht’s interiors. The firm delivered a serene, tactile environment centered around natural materials, soft tones, and subtle textures. The client is focused on health and sustainability and enjoys being surrounded by nature. Using only natural, non-toxic, or eco-friendly materials, the interior embodies the natural world, favoring practices that create low levels of EMF (Electromagnetic Field) and materials with low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) to deliver a clean-living environment. Earthy colors, matte surfaces and organic textures are used throughout, keeping nature at the heart of the design. To further support this vision, a Sustainable Material Manager was appointed to control the provenance and characteristics of all materials used in the interiors, ensuring alignment with the highest standards of sustainability and health.
“The owner envisioned a yacht that could take his family anywhere in the world without compromising comfort, privacy, or environmental responsibility,” says CdM’s Vasco Buonpensiere. “Nasiba is a perfect reflection of their approach to life. She is a bold, yet refined interpretation of what the modern explorer yacht can be, one that fuses performance, comfort, and sustainability into a vessel designed to embrace the world’s most remote destinations with family at its core.”
The yacht’s layout reflects a commitment to personal wellbeing, family life, and thoughtful living at sea. At its heart are the interiors, conceived as a retreat where a sense of calm reign supreme. What truly sets this yacht apart, however, is its bespoke approach to lifestyle perfectly reflected in Nasiba’s unique layout. It’s worth noting that her layout differs significantly from those of her two sister ships. Beyond family-centric design, the yacht is infused with spaces that nurture the body and mind. From restful guest quarters to thoughtfully integrated wellness areas, every detail supports a lifestyle of balance, connection, and serenity. With plans to spend extended periods living aboard, the owners have incorporated a spacious, purpose-designed room where their children can both learn and play in comfort. This dedicated educational and recreational space is a rare inclusion on a yacht of this class and underscores the family’s deep commitment to nurturing growth, creativity, and quality time together, no matter their location.
Demonstrating a forward-thinking approach to environmental responsibility, Nasiba is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that ensures full compliance with IMO Tier III emission standards. The equipment’s setup is the same as Babbo’s, which led to reductions with peaks of 93% NOx abatement. This technology allows her to safely navigate in ecologically sensitive regions, including marine sanctuaries.
Equipped with twin Caterpillar C32 Acert engines 746kW each, Nasiba will have a top speed of 14 knots and a 5,500nm range at 10 knots.
