About Novurania
The company's roots are Italian. Its own history traces the business to a rubber-coated fabric maker in Trentino and to the building of inflatable boats from the 1960s. An American presence followed in the 1980s, and in the early 1990s primary U.S. operations settled in Vero Beach, where Novurania of America builds its tenders today.
That heritage shows in the balance Novurania strikes between the practical and the refined. The boats are known for thoughtful use of space, good ergonomics and a composed ride, and the company offers customization for owners who want a tender finished to echo the yacht it serves.
Tender types
- RIBs
- Center-console tenders
- Chase boats
- Catamaran tenders
- Custom tenders
The range spans small RIBs that suit the swim platform of a large motor yacht through to chase boats of close to 12 meters for superyachts that need a capable second boat.
Models and range
- ChaseDeep-V, center-console chase boats in several sizes, the largest suited to superyachts that run a fast support boat.
- LXVersatile tenders in the six-to-seven-meter class with refined deck layouts for guest use.
- DLCompact Deluxe RIBs, a frequent choice for yachts carrying a smaller tender on the platform or in a tight garage.
- CATCatamaran tenders with a stable platform and a bow suited to landing guests.
- ComoA compact line offered in two sizes, suited to yachts that need a smaller, easily handled tender.
Applications for superyachts
The size spread makes Novurania useful across a yacht's life. Smaller DL models suit yachts in the 80 to 120 foot range where weight on the platform or crane is limited, while Chase models give larger yachts a quick, seaworthy boat for guest runs, water sports and provisioning.
Because the boats are built in Florida, owners who keep their yachts in Miami, Fort Lauderdale or the Bahamas benefit from proximity to the factory for visits, customization discussions and service. Colors, upholstery and console details can be chosen to sit comfortably alongside the mother yacht.
Why owners choose Novurania
Owners choose Novurania for a long, established record in tenders, an American build base close to one of the world's busiest yachting regions, and a range broad enough to cover both the small platform tender and the larger chase boat from one builder.
Available tenders
Tenders are usually specified to order, and pre-owned examples tend to change hands quietly, often together with their mother yacht. Daniel does not hold tender inventory; on request he can approach Novurania or its representatives, and search the pre-owned market, for a tender that suits your yacht.
Work with Daniel Grant
Daniel, who works between Miami, New York and Europe, can help owners compare Novurania models against the yacht's garage, crane and intended use, introduce them to the builder, and help source a pre-owned tender where timing matters. He acts as an independent broker and advisor, not as a Novurania dealer. Owners based in South Florida may also find his Miami page useful.
A tender is often one part of a larger decision. Daniel can also help you find the right yacht, guide a new build from brief to delivery, or compare the yacht builders behind the mother yacht. To talk it through, contact Daniel directly.
