NAJIBA
Distinguished and elegant, with a unique beauty all of her
own, Najiba certainly lives up to her name, meaning
‘noble’. She was designed by the Vitruvius team as a family
superyacht for experienced owners, who were fulfilling a
long-held dream to commission a pure customised yacht.
Najiba was the first Vitruvius design built by Feadship.
The signature is clear in her sleek, low and timeless
profile and her extremely efficient hull built in aluminium.
The owners understood very well that a perfect yacht
requires a strong scientific and architectural approach to
support the exterior design.
After discussion with the owners, the space planning was
established as the first priority. You could regard her as the
perfect villa on the sea. The volume of 880 GT is generous
and offers a number of rooms inside and vast open spaces
outside, shaded from the sun.
Transparency is key for the quality of living on board and
Philippe Briand designed the surrounding wall in glass of a
special light tint of their selection. Purity is another principle
in design for Vitruvius, the exterior style based on a minimum
of lines, all designed as uninterrupted and streamlined.
