Custom Novamarine Tenders Elevate the Luxury Yacht Experience for Palumbo Superyachts’ Elite Clients

In the world of luxury yacht ownership, the difference between excellence and true distinction lies in the details—those bespoke elements that refine every moment at sea. Palumbo Superyachts, parent company to ISA Yachts, Extra Yachts, Columbus Yachts, and Mondomarine, has introduced a new evolution in onboard refinement: exclusive, fully customized Novamarine tenders now available to all its owners.

For the 1%, this marks a thoughtful enhancement to the holistic yachting experience—pairing world-class superyachts with tenders engineered for absolute performance, safety, and individuality.

A Partnership Designed Around UHNW Expectations

Palumbo Superyachts has formalized a strategic partnership with Novamarine, one of Italy’s most respected RIB builders. Known globally for producing tenders with military-grade engineering and elite performance profiles, Novamarine has become a benchmark for speed, stability, and reliability.

For UHNW yacht owners, this collaboration brings a new level of personalization.
As Novamarine CEO Francesco Pirro notes:

“Every owner has different needs. True luxury begins where full customization becomes non-negotiable.”

This philosophy echoes Palumbo’s own commitment to building superyachts that are not simply vessels, but individual expressions of their owners’ identity.

Tenders Built for Performance and for the Lifestyle of the 1%

The new offering allows Palumbo clients to select from Novamarine’s flagship ranges—each fully customizable to match the style, performance profile, and aesthetic language of their luxury yacht.

Sizes starting at 10 meters (33 ft)
Customizable with inboard or outboard engines
Loved by megayacht captains for speed and handling

Built for guests who desire comfort and adrenaline in equal measure, the Black Shiver line is already a favorite among large-yacht fleets.

RH Series: Compact, Elegant, Purpose-Driven

Regardless of model, Novamarine tenders share the same DNA: exceptional stability, silent running even at high speeds, and unmistakable Italian craftsmanship.

A Seamlessly Integrated Luxury Ecosystem

For Palumbo Superyachts director Giuseppe Palumbo, the partnership represents a natural evolution:

“Performance, design, craftsmanship—these are values we share. This collaboration expands our ability to deliver a completely integrated onboard experience.”

Each Palumbo superyacht—whether a 50-meter ISA, a versatile Extra eco-yacht, or a custom Columbus flagship—can now be complemented by a tender crafted with the same precision and emotional resonance.

This integration ensures:

A unified design language between yacht and tender
Elevated guest arrivals and departures
Enhanced functionality for beach landings, water sports, and private excursions
A tender that performs as flawlessly as the mothership it serves

For UHNW buyers, this means the luxury yacht experience becomes even more curated, cohesive, and personal.

A New Benchmark in Yachting Personalization

As the expectations of global UHNWIs evolve toward greater bespoke capability, partnerships like this define the direction of modern yachting. Palumbo Superyachts’ integration of Novamarine’s military-tested engineering with superyacht-level luxury offers clients a rare advantage: performance without compromise, and personalization without limits.

For the 1%, the message is clear excellence is no longer enough. The future of the luxury yacht experience is fully tailored, beautifully integrated, and powered by innovation at every scale.
