Monaco Life stepped aboard the brand-new NOA 46 for an exclusive sneak peak at one of Monaco Yacht Show 2025’s most visited yachts.
The sleek 46-metre superyacht was launched earlier this year and, despite its youth, it managed to emerge as one of the stars of the Monaco Yacht Show, attracting more than 60 visitors daily.
The NOA 46, built by shipyard NOA, made its debut at the prestigious event following sea trials earlier in 2025. Jeremy Comport of Ocean Independence, the yacht’s broker, said the vessel has drawn considerable interest from genuine buyers and yachting enthusiasts alike.
“We have to be here. It’s really one of the central boat shows,” Comport told Monaco Life during a tour of the vessel. “The traffic on the dock has been good and we’ve certainly had some real yacht owners, charterers and yachting enthusiasts coming to visit.”
Measuring nearly 46-metres with a 9-metre beam and 483 gross tonnage, the steel and aluminium displacement yacht cuts an impressive figure on the water. Her exterior, created by Italian design house Hot Lab, flow seamlessly from bow to stern, creating the relaxed atmosphere of a paradise beach club rather than a traditional yacht, complete with inviting furniture and comfortable spaces.
The interiors have also sparked great interest with visitors repeatedly asking if the owners are Italian, a testament to Hot Lab’s elegant touch, enhanced by the owner’s personal interior design.
The yacht was originally built by the shipyard’s shareholder for his own use, but recognising an opportunity to showcase the NOA series to the market, he decided to debut her at Monaco instead. She’s now available for €24.5 million; a first-time listing for a yacht that’s never been owned.
A beach club on the water
Twin MAN 1,450-horsepower engines deliver a comfortable cruising speed of 12.5 to 13 knots with a transoceanic range of 4,000 nautical miles while meeting modern environmental standards with IMO Tier III-compliant exhaust systems that burn soot at very high temperatures before it exits.
When asked what makes NOA 46 special, Comport was quick to highlight two key elements: “Getting a package of five very comfortable cabins in a yacht this size, and the aft of the boat with the pool and the stairs leading down to the ocean is a reel eye-catcher and something that clients really appreciate when they’re at anchor.”
That aft deck is genuinely striking, a true beach club style retreat where guests can lounge by the pool before descending stairs that lead directly into the sea. Add in a 2.9-metre transformer platform and foldable balconies, and the yacht essentially creates its own private waterfront. With accommodation for 10 guests across five staterooms and space for a crew of nine, NOA 46 delivers both comfort and access to the water in equal measure.
