NAIA Superyacht Charter French Riviera

Yacht Overview

NAIA is a 73.6 metre explorer style superyacht offered for private, multi day luxury charters along the French Riviera. Built by Freire Shipyard in Spain and designed by Mark Berryman, NAIA combines expedition capability with refined, residential style living. She is a proven charter yacht with strong volume across four guest decks, built for guests who want space, privacy, and variety during a full charter week. NAIA

NAIA stands apart from typical Riviera charter yachts. While many yachts focus on speed and glamour, NAIA prioritises comfort, flexibility, and onboard lifestyle. This makes her particularly well suited to charters where guests split time between cruising, anchoring, wellness, and extended onboard living rather than constant port hopping.

With an ice class 1D hull, zero speed stabilisers, and a layout designed for long stays, NAIA offers confidence and calm across changing conditions. In the South of France, this translates to smoother anchor days, quieter nights, and consistent comfort even during busy summer weeks. NAIA

Design Philosophy and Interior Style

NAIA’s interior design reflects Mark Berryman’s signature approach, understated luxury with a calming, natural tone. The atmosphere onboard feels warm and grounded rather than theatrical. Wood panelling, soft leather finishes, and carefully controlled lighting create spaces that feel inviting throughout the day.

Large windows feature across all guest areas. Natural light reaches deep into the yacht, keeping interiors connected to the surrounding coastline. This matters during Riviera charters, where views of Monaco, Cap Ferrat, and the Lerins Islands form part of the experience.

Public spaces feel residential rather than formal. Seating encourages long conversations. Layouts avoid narrow corridors and forced circulation. Guests move comfortably between areas without congestion, even with a full complement onboard.

The overall design supports long stays. Nothing feels temporary. Every space feels designed for daily use rather than short visits.

Owner’s Deck and Penthouse Suite

One of NAIA’s defining features is her dedicated owner’s deck, which functions as a private penthouse level. This entire deck is reserved for the master suite and associated private spaces, offering complete separation from guest areas below. NAIA

The master suite enjoys panoramic views and includes multiple zones. A sleeping area, private lounge, office space, and large en suite bathroom create a true apartment style layout. The bathroom features natural stone, bamboo elements, and a central bathtub positioned to take advantage of surrounding light.

Private exterior terraces forward and aft extend the suite outdoors. These spaces allow principal guests to enjoy quiet moments away from group activity, whether during cruising or at anchor.

This level of separation suits charterers who value privacy, including business leaders, high profile guests, or those travelling with extended family or staff.

Guest Cabins and Accommodation Layout

NAIA accommodates up to 12 guests across eight cabins, all located on the main deck. This arrangement offers rare convenience and accessibility, especially for guests who prefer to avoid stairs or want consistent natural light throughout their stay. NAIA

The guest configuration includes multiple double cabins, several of which convert to twins, plus a single cabin with an additional pullman berth. This flexibility supports families, mixed groups, or charters involving personal staff.

Each cabin benefits from large windows, generous storage, and consistent climate control. Bathrooms feature modern layouts designed for daily routines rather than occasional use. Materials remain consistent across all cabins, ensuring no guest feels secondary.

An elevator serves all decks, making NAIA fully wheelchair friendly and accessible for guests of all ages. This feature significantly broadens the yacht’s suitability for multigenerational charters and guests with mobility considerations. NAIA

Bridge Deck Lounge and Social Areas

The bridge deck lounge stands out as one of NAIA’s most used social spaces. This area combines a relaxed seating layout, bar, cinema setup, and dining table within a single open environment. NAIA

Leather flooring and warm wood finishes give the space a residential feel. Large U shaped sofas encourage group gatherings, while the cinema setup allows film nights without sacrificing comfort.

This space works well during Riviera evenings. Guests gather here before heading ashore or enjoy quiet nights onboard after busy days in Monaco or Saint Tropez. The layout supports both social energy and low key relaxation.

Outdoor areas on this deck extend the experience. Aft dining spaces allow for open air meals with full service. Forward lounging areas offer views during cruising and sunset moments at anchor.

Heli Deck and Wellness Focus

At the top of the yacht sits the heli deck, fully certified for helicopter operations during charter. This capability adds flexibility for arrivals, departures, and special occasions along the French Riviera. When not in use, the heli deck converts into a spacious sun lounging and dining area. NAIA

Adjacent to this area is a fully equipped gym and wellness zone. The gym includes modern cardio equipment, free weights, and training space, plus a centrally located jacuzzi. This setup allows guests to maintain routines or enjoy wellness focused days without leaving the yacht. NAIA

An onboard masseuse further supports relaxation and recovery. This combination of fitness and wellness makes NAIA particularly attractive to guests seeking balance rather than constant activity.

Operational Strength and Crew

NAIA operates with an experienced crew of 23, supporting high service levels across all guest decks. NAIA

Crew experience shows in daily operations. Housekeeping runs quietly. Dining service stays smooth. Tender movements remain controlled, even in busy anchorages.

The captain manages Riviera itineraries with precision, balancing guest preferences, port access, and weather conditions. This planning ensures days feel fluid rather than rushed.

Service onboard remains attentive but discreet. Crew anticipate needs without constant presence, which suits guests accustomed to private travel and high standards.

Onboard Atmosphere

Life onboard NAIA feels calm and composed. Days move at a measured pace. Mornings start gently. Afternoons revolve around water access, wellness, and shared meals. Evenings feel relaxed rather than loud.

The yacht supports different guest rhythms simultaneously. Some guests stay active. Others retreat to private spaces. The layout allows both without overlap or disruption.

NAIA delivers a charter experience focused on space, comfort, and versatility. She suits guests who want a refined, residential feel during a multi day luxury charter on the French Riviera.

Daily Life Onboard NAIA

A charter onboard NAIA follows a calm and structured rhythm. This yacht is designed for guests who spend full days onboard rather than treating the yacht as a short transfer between ports. Space, separation, and flow define how each day unfolds.

Mornings often begin quietly. Stabilisation keeps the yacht steady at anchor, which supports quality rest overnight. Breakfast may be served indoors on the bridge deck or outdoors depending on weather and preference. Some guests gather socially, while others enjoy privacy in their cabins or on private decks.

Cruising time feels intentional. Large observation lounges and open decks allow guests to remain connected to the coastline while staying comfortable. Along the French Riviera, this transforms short passages into part of the experience rather than downtime.

Afternoons typically focus on anchor time. NAIA’s layout supports long stays in one location. Guests swim, relax, exercise, or enjoy wellness treatments without feeling the need to move constantly. Multiple decks allow activities to happen simultaneously without overlap.

Evenings feel composed. Guests often gather for sunset drinks, followed by dinner onboard or ashore. Lighting remains warm and controlled. Noise stays balanced. This atmosphere supports conversation and rest, especially during longer charter weeks.

Water Access, Tenders, and Exploration

NAIA is well equipped for active charter guests. The swim platform provides direct access to the sea, allowing safe and controlled entry even during busy anchor days.

A dedicated dive room supports organised water activities. Equipment storage and preparation areas keep deck spaces clear and functional. This matters during Riviera summers when multiple activities often happen back to back.

The tender fleet allows flexibility. A limousine tender supports comfortable guest transfers to shore, particularly in Monaco and Saint Tropez. Additional tenders handle watersports and exploration, allowing activities to continue without disrupting service onboard.

The watersports inventory supports a wide range of energy levels. High speed toys suit guests seeking action, while paddleboards, kayaks, and inflatables suit relaxed afternoons. Diving equipment and fishing gear add variety for guests spending extended time onboard.

NAIA also operates as an RYA approved training centre for personal watercraft. This allows guests to use jetskis and similar equipment with confidence and structure.

Wellness and Fitness Experience

Wellness plays a central role onboard NAIA. The yacht includes a fully equipped gym located near the heli deck, offering panoramic views during training sessions.

The gym features modern cardio machines, free weights, resistance equipment, and functional training tools. This setup supports guests who maintain regular routines during charter weeks.

A centrally positioned jacuzzi sits within the wellness area, offering a place to recover after workouts or simply relax with views over the surrounding coastline. An onboard masseuse further supports recovery and relaxation.

These facilities allow guests to integrate wellness into daily life onboard. Morning workouts, midday swims, and evening treatments become part of the charter rhythm rather than scheduled events.

Dining and Entertaining Onboard

Dining onboard NAIA reflects a residential rather than formal approach. Meals adapt to the flow of the day rather than fixed schedules.

Breakfasts often remain casual. Lunches may be served on deck during anchor days, allowing guests to move easily between swimming and dining. Shaded outdoor dining areas support long meals without discomfort during peak summer heat.

The interior dining areas support more formal evenings when desired. Layouts allow full service without congestion, ensuring a smooth experience even with a full guest count.

The chef adapts menus to guest preferences, dietary needs, and activity levels. Meals remain balanced across the charter week, supporting both indulgence and wellness focused stays.

Entertaining onboard feels natural rather than staged. Spaces encourage guests to linger, talk, and relax without pressure.
