IYC Announces The Launch Of New Build Of New Build CDM NAUTA AIR 108 M/Y TARTARUGA
IYC is proud to announce the launch of the Cantiere delle Marche Nauta Air 108 Μ/Υ TARTARUGA, a new evolution within the acclaimed Nauta air series and a project that perfectly reflects the shared vision, expertise, and collaborative spirit between IYC, Cantiere delle Marche, and Nauta Design.
Measuring 108’ with a beam of 7.55 metres, this Nauta Air 108 represents a refined evolution of the series, with subtle yet impactful enhancements to both design and functionality. Her exterior lines have been modernized for a more cohesive and contemporary profile, with fashion plates now visually integrated into the dark, continuous windows of the main deck saloon. Forward on the main deck, a 20’ (6m) tender and crane are seamlessly incorporated, reinforcing the yacht’s expedition DNA while preserving clean lines and visual harmony.
Michel Chryssicopoulos comments “It has been a true pleasure working alongside Vasco Buonpensiere and the exceptional teams at Cantiere delle Marche and Nauta throughout this project. This ‘pocket explorer’ brings to life a yacht that balances contemporary aesthetics, comfort and volume onboard, along with long-range explorer capabilities.”
Inside, the yacht offers bright, airy interiors enhanced by generous hull volume, creating an exceptional sense of space for owners and guests alike. Accommodation is arranged with a full-beam Owner’s suite on the main deck, complemented by four spacious guest cabins on the lower deck. Social life naturally gravitates towards the aft cockpit, with its uninterrupted sea views, and the expansive sun deck, designed for relaxed outdoor living. Crew accommodation for five is located on the lower deck, with the Captain’s cabin positioned adjacent to the wheelhouse on the upper deck for optimal operational efficiency.
TARTARUGA is powered by twin Caterpillar C18 Acert engines, each delivering 533 kW, and fitted with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system in full compliance with IMO emission standards. Her naval architecture exemplifies the Nauta Air philosophy, combining form and function through an intelligently engineered hull featuring a bulbous bow and flat aft sections. The result is outstanding fuel efficiency, long-range capability, and excellent seakeeping across a wide range of conditions.
The launch of the Nauta Air 108 TARTARUGA marks another successful collaboration and a proud milestone for all involved.
