Novurania

Novurania traces its roots to mid-1950s Italy, where the business began as a rubber-coated fabric company supplying inflatable products to the Italian armed forces. In 1989, operating as Novurania of America, Inc., the company built its first fibreglass hull in the United States and established itself in the superyacht-tender segment. Today the factory sits in Vero Beach, Florida, and every boat is hand-built individually to owner specification.

The range runs from 11 to 38 feet and covers five distinct series: the Deluxe Line (DL), the LX, the Equator, the Launch, and the Chase. The Chase Series is the build we ask Novurania for when a programme needs a purpose-built, deep-V superyacht tender rather than a garage RIB. Models step from the 19-foot garage-friendly Chase 19 up to the Chase 38, rated to carry twenty-one people and driven by twin outboard or Yanmar inboard engines. The Chase 27 delivers over 300 hp and reaches 44 mph in calm water; the Chase 31 accepts twin 300 hp outboards or twin Yanmar 4LV 250 hp inboards. The Catamaran series addresses beach-landing duties with a landing-craft bow, removing the tube-climb entirely.

What brings owners and captains back is Novurania's vertically integrated build model: in-house engineering, design, manufacturing, and final testing under one roof, with materials sourced and controlled from the outset. The Italian design heritage is visible in the finish; the Florida production base keeps lead times and freight logistics straightforward for the US and Caribbean fleets.
