Nora is a 62.48 m motor yacht built by Icon Yachts in 2013 (refitted 2023), for 12 guests in 8 cabins with 18 crew. Charter from €505,000 per week in summer (Monaco, Corsica and French Riviera); in winter from €460,000 (Antigua, Bahamas and Saint Martin), plus expenses.
A 2013 Icon long known as Party Girl, now Nora, with two owner-grade suites that can merge into one penthouse and a Cristiano Gatto interior of dark woods and black marble.
Charter regulars will know this Icon as Party Girl, the name she carried for most of her career; she now sails as Nora, and YachtCharterFleet also lists Meridian among her former names. Icon Yachts delivered her from its Harlingen yard in January 2013, with an exterior by Redman Whiteley Dixon, and she was refitted in 2023.
Cristiano Gatto drew the interior, which leans Art Deco with an oriental accent: Canaletto walnut, ebony, rosewood and mahogany set against black meteorite marble and travertine. The main salon runs to some 17 metres, and another lounge on the same deck opens out to the air.
Her most unusual feature is at the top of the guest plan. The owner's quarters come as a pair: either two suites of equal standing, or, with the partition opened, one penthouse that looks out over half the horizon and has its own balcony. The upper deck also holds two queen cabins; downstairs there are four more, and the twin beds in two of them push together.
Behind the scenes, the crew works from three pantries linked by a dumbwaiter and is called by a quiet paging system that reaches each deck. At water level, the beach club combines a gym with a lounge, and the sun deck adds a spa pool.
The double-suite plan makes her an easy choice for two families or two couples splitting a charter, where neither wants to end up in the smaller room. A cruising speed of 12 knots favours short daily hops over long crossings, and anyone who likes a bright, minimal interior will find all that dark timber heavy going.
