Hull No. 2 of the NL 52 Plus represents a rare opportunity to bypass the traditional custom-build waiting list. Secure your place in the legacy of Nuvolari Lenard and Mengi Yay with a 2028 delivery.
A Legacy in the Making
There is a specific frequency of ambition that resonates when thirty years of design heritage meets the sparks of a Turkish shipyard’s welding torch. The newly released documentary trailer for the NL 52 Plus captures this exact vibration.
This cinematic project follows the “Mediterranean Soul” of Project NB114—the first hull in the series—from its initial sketches to its highly anticipated launch in early 2027. Boatsters Black acted as the sole brokerage company for the sale of Hull No. 1, and this documentary serves as a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the precision required to bring a Nuvolari Lenard vision to life.
The Architect and The Artisan
The NL 52 Plus is the result of a “Triple Threat” collaboration in the superyacht sector:
-
Nuvolari Lenard: The Venice-based studio needs little introduction. Known for iconic yachts like Ahpo and Nord, they bring “Essential Luxury” to the NL 52 Plus, creating a 52-meter vessel that feels like a 60-meter flagship.
-
Mengi Yay Shipyard: A titan of Turkish shipbuilding, Mengi Yay provides the technical steel and aluminum expertise necessary to execute complex, high-efficiency naval architecture.
-
Boatsters Black: More than a brokerage, Boatsters Black acts as the strategic link between visionary owners and these world-class creators, ensuring every detail of the transaction and build process is seamless.
