THAILAND INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW: ITALIAN SHIPYARD NEREA YACHT LAUNCHES NY24 DAY CRUISER

Nerea Yacht, the Italian-based boutique nautical workshop founded by Dario Messina, known as The Tailor of the Sea for his unmatched attention to detail and personalized approach to yacht design, announces its debut at the Thailand International Boat Show.

From January 9 to 12, the event will host the Asia premiere of the NY24 Bit of Blue, the deluxe version of Nerea's iconic NY24.

Every Nerea Yacht is a true epitome of luxury, crafted entirely by hand and in-house, with no production line. Under the direct supervision of Dario Messina, the yachts are meticulously crafted by a team of skilled artisans, ensuring unparalleled attention to detail. This bespoke approach allows Nerea Yacht to offer a level of customization that no other manufacturer can match, creating a truly unique vessel tailored to the discerning owner.

The NY24 Bit of Blue exemplifies Nerea's commitment to luxury, with clean, timeless lines and refined details. Thanks to the careful selection of materials and innovative design, Nerea Yachts deliver high functionality and ease of use, while offering a level of exclusivity that reflects the brand's dedication to craftsmanship and individuality.

"We are excited to present our NY24 Deluxe model to the Asian audience, and we hope it generates the same enthusiasm it has in Italy and Europe, where it has seen recent sales and deliveries, including the NY24 in its LIMO version," comments Dario Messina, Founder of Nerea Yacht. "Since its inception, Nerea Yacht has demonstrated bold commitment, investing in our facility near Fano in Italy's Marche region, and in research, design, and development. This dedication is reflected in the boats we've recently delivered." Messina adds: "We prioritize the use of cutting-edge, eco-sustainable materials and are actively testing the latest technologies to meet the needs of sea enthusiasts seeking a more conscious yachting experience, aligning with our artisanal approach."

Designed by Italian designers Alessio Battistini and Davide Bernardini of studio ideaeITALIA, the NY24 range offers a blend of contemporary design, elegant finishes, and generous space to cater to sophisticated owners looking for a compact yet striking yacht.

The NY24 Bit of Blue boasts a palette of warm, elegant colors that harmonize with the natural teak deck. A refined pearl blue envelops the hull and superstructure, while the eco-leather outer cushions are finished in a distinct Terra di Siena hue. The same eco-friendly leather upholsters cabin elements, such as the sofa backrest and the ceiling's central band, paired with a light, silky fabric chosen for the seat cushions. Interior finishes feature Oltremateria, an eco-friendly, fireproof, breathable oil-mortar that's recyclable and free from toxic substances, aligning perfectly with Nerea Yacht's craftsmanship values. With outstanding seaworthiness, the NY24 is a versatile luxury vessel. Its shallow draft allows access to secluded bays and inlets, while the standard inboard propulsion offers impressive performance with a top speed of 38 knots and a comfortable, economical cruising speed of 28 knots. Attention to detail extends to every element: the anchor, when not in use, is stowed within a fold-out nose shielded by stainless steel, and is electromechanically operated from the bridge. Notably, the NY24 is trailerable, enabling owners to transport their yacht for coastal or lakeside vacations without special permits.

The NY24 Bit of Blue also features advanced technology, with integrated home automation allowing all control systems to be managed from a touch display on the bridge, with commands accessible via tablet or smartphone—putting everything just a click away.

Supporting Nerea Yacht in promoting this new gem is MarineXplorer Co. Ltd., the ideal partner for effective dealership and representation in the region.

"I am thrilled to partner with Mr. Dario Messina and Nerea Yacht, a brand renowned for its innovative craftsmanship and Italian luxury," said Mr. Chanyo Manakulsawasdi, MarineXplorer's CEO & Founder. "This collaboration marks an exciting milestone as Nerea Yacht makes its Thailand debut of NY24 Bit of Blue offering discerning yacht enthusiasts unparalleled design and performance. MarineXplorer is committed to bringing the essence of Italian elegance and sophistication to Thailand and the region, setting new standards of luxury boating experiences."
