Nautica_Yachts Review

From its inception in 1983, the Italian firm, Nautica Yachting, has promised an attention to detail that rivals other construction companies. The website describes their approach as diversified and organized. The team follows each phase of construction to verify full compliance with the customer’s specifications. The yachting firm provides a full range of support and employs mechanics, electricians and a team of technicians. This business and line of boats is closely associated with the French manufacturer, Jeanneau.

The featured series offered by Nautica is The Prestige line. These vessels, manufactured by Jeanneau, come with 16 different décor styles. The owners of a Prestige get to pick and choose the colors and fabrics for the interiors of their yachts prior to ordering. The frame line features high topsides plus a fly surmounted by a stylized roll bar. The cockpit supplies an electric canopy for shading. Power for The Prestige comes from a pair of 700 hp Volov Penta IPSs, giving the boat a speed of 25 knots. Two walkways lead to the foredeck and the sea-facing sofa with an integrated bimini top. The top of the line Prestige 60 is a 19.5 meter fly with two guest staterooms, en-suite baths and a deck saloon with electric windows all around.
