A closer look at Delta Marine’s 156-foot Noverra, a world cruiser available for charter this winter for $245,000 per week.
Ultra-luxury living has officially moved overseas. As advances in yacht design and technology continue to blur the line between five-star resorts and private vessels, today’s top-of-the-line superyachts offer Michelin-level dining, spa-like interiors and a continent-spanning selection right on the open sea. At $245,000 per week, the Delta Marine-built Noverra lands right where serious craftsmanship meets real-world usability. Offered for winter charter by Ikonic Yachts, the 156-foot yacht is designed to provide an unflinching experience that appeals to experienced charter customers who value range, comfort and thoughtful design as much as polished teak and champagne sunsets. Noverra was built in 2011 by the respected American shipyard Delta Marine and redesigned in 2021 and 2022. She arrives fully sorted and ready for long distance exploration.
From the outside, Noverra’s lines are modern without being over-the-top, a balance that is becoming increasingly difficult to find on modern luxury yachts. Its composite hull and GRP superstructure ensure stability and efficiency, while a generous beam of 8.7 meters and a shallow draft of 2.5 meters provide impressive seaworthiness and access to smaller cruising areas. This is a yacht designed to comfortably cross oceans and then land in anchorages that larger, deeper ships simply cannot reach. This is a practical advantage that becomes particularly evident when planning itineraries that go beyond the usual postcard stops.
Step inside and the tone changes from expeditionary to a quiet residential atmosphere. Delta Design Group’s interior combines European chestnut, walnut, wenge and Macassar ebony with a neutral color palette more reminiscent of a modern waterfront home than a traditional superyacht. Large windows flood the main salon with natural light, ensuring the space feels relaxed and homely rather than overly formal. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five cabins, ranging from a full-beam master suite on the main deck with 180-degree views, a private office and a generous ensuite, ideal for owners or charterers planning extended periods on board.
Outdoors, Noverra deserves its first-class reputation. Shaded alfresco dining, multiple lounge zones, a flybridge hot tub and a well-proportioned bar facility make it easy to spend entire days outside without feeling exposed or crowded. Whether it’s long lunches at anchor or quiet evenings underway, the layout favors flexibility over spectacle. Underway, twin MTU 16V4000 engines provide a comfortable cruising speed of 12-13 knots and a top speed of nearly 21 knots, while zero-speed stabilizers ensure stability both at sea and on station. With a range of approximately 3,300 nautical miles, Noverra is perfect for itineraries that go far beyond the usual. For $245,000 per week, Noverra offers an ultra-luxurious yachting experience that’s more thoughtful than contrived.
