Owners Comments
We bought Nova Vida as a safe and spacious yacht to undertake some family adventures. We have had a fabulous time and sailed her from one side of the Mediterranean to the other and then back to the UK. We have always felt safe in her and have been hugely impressed by how she handles fairly large seas. Unfortunately our family situation has changed and due to school and sports commitments we no longer have time to fully appreciate Nova Vida.
Nova Vida has exceeded our expectations in all areas. She is fast and easy to sail, can seat eight people in the cockpit, has four cabins offering very flexible accommodation, a galley that works extremely well both at sea and in port and is finished to the standard that Najad are renowned for. More importantly she really is in “turn key” condition and all systems are in full working order and have been tested during our summer cruises.
The new owner could buy Nova Vida in the confidence that she is ready to go and have fun from day 1!
