M/Y N.ICE

The Yacht in Detail

M/Y N.ICE — A New Way to Feel the Aegean

Most motor yachts treat the Greek islands as a backdrop. M/Y N.ICE treats them as a playground you can actually enter, explore, and linger in. She isn’t about racing from port to port; she’s about slipping quietly into the coves and anchorages that usually stay off-limits to powerboats.

Born in Lavrion in 2024, just down the Attic coast from where ancient sailors once set out for the Cyclades, N.ICE carries a very modern kind of ambition: to make long-range, low-impact cruising not a compromise, but a pleasure. Before she’d even welcomed her first charter guests, she’d already been named European Powerboat of the Year 2024 (Long Range) — a rare case where the hype is justified by the hull.

The Hull That Changes the Rules

At the heart of N.ICE is her Eco-Cruise hull, drawn by Juan Kouyoumdjian, the naval architect behind three Volvo Ocean Race winners. Instead of brute-force power and towering wakes, this hull is about effortless glide:

• She moves through the water with the efficiency of a sailing yacht, yet keeps the comfort and stability of a motor yacht.
• At her sweet-spot cruising speed of 8 knots, she can cover 1,000 nautical miles on a single tank, sipping just 1 litre per nautical mile.

In practical terms, that means you can leave Athens, wander through the Cyclades, detour to the Dodecanese, and still have range in reserve. No constant hunt for fuel docks, no anxiety about the next marina — just time and freedom.

Space, Light, and the 360° Sea

On paper, N.ICE measures 18.41 meters in length with a 6-meter beam. In reality, she feels larger than many yachts in her class because of how that volume is used.

The deckhouse is wrapped in panoramic glass, creating a 360-degree visual connection to the sea. Wherever you sit — at the dining table, on the sofa, or at the helm — the islands are always in view. Sunrises over Sifnos, the white houses of Paros, the cliffs of Milos: they become part of the interior design.

Inside, Ciarmoli Queda Studio has given the yacht a warm, contemporary character. The styling nods to Milanese design: clean lines, tactile materials, and a palette that feels sophisticated without ever becoming cold. It’s a space you can walk into barefoot after a swim and still feel you’re in a refined, thoughtfully crafted environment.

Living Aboard: Rooms That Breathe

N.ICE is laid out for guests who want both privacy and togetherness.

• 3 guest staterooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, mean every guest has a personal retreat. No one is relegated to a second-class cabin.
• The open-plan salon flows directly into the aft deck through full-height glass doors. When they slide open, the boundary between inside and outside simply disappears.

This continuity of space is where N.ICE feels different from traditional motor yachts. Instead of separate, compartmentalized zones, you get one long, airy living area that can adapt to the day: breakfast inside, lunch half in the shade, sunset drinks outside, all without ever feeling like you’ve changed rooms.

The Aft Cockpit: Where Days Unfold

On most Greek-island cruises, life gravitates to the stern — and N.ICE is designed around that reality.

The aft cockpit is the yacht’s social heart:

• Two dining areas can host long, lazy meals and then convert into sunpads when it’s time to stretch out with a book or a post-lunch nap.
• A barbecue station turns the cockpit into an open-air kitchen: grilled fish from a local taverna, vegetables from a morning market, all eaten with your feet almost at water level.
• Clever storage keeps toys, gear, and essentials out of sight but always within reach.

It’s the kind of space where a day can quietly expand: a quick swim becomes an hour of diving off the stern, which becomes an impromptu lunch, which becomes a sunset aperitif. You’re always a few steps from the sea and never far from shade, comfort, or a drink.
