Novurania of America

What Novurania of America does

Novurania of America, Inc. is a privately held Florida corporation that manufactures luxury yacht tenders and leisure boats at its headquarters and production facility in Vero Beach, Florida. The company traces its heritage to the 1964 founding of Novurania in Italy, and the U.S. subsidiary was established in 1983 to serve the North American market. Its product portfolio spans six major series—Chase, LX, Catamaran, Como, DL, and TR, plus the GS 420 rescue tender—covering boats from 11 to 38 feet built for superyacht support, day cruising, and commercial applications.

The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing model with in-house engineering, design, and proprietary Hypalon-Neoprene tube fabric production. Construction techniques include vacuum-bagged cored fiberglass hulls and decks, foam-encapsulated stringer systems, and foam core with solid fiberglass keels. The Catamaran Series features a hydraulic bow ramp for beach landings and accessibility. The Professional Series extends the build capability to law enforcement, military, and cruise line clients with custom-build solutions. Boats are handcrafted to measure, with extensive options for color, accessories, lifting points, and garage fittings.

Commercially, Novurania sells through a global authorized dealer and service agent network across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Singapore, supplemented by direct manufacturer contact. Its primary customer segments are superyacht owners and shipyards, with commercial and government buyers served through the Professional Series. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on request. The company has sold over 50,000 boats worldwide since its founding, with its best-selling DL 430 alone exceeding 5,000 units.
