NAYLA is a Monte Carlo Yachts motor yacht that brings the craft of a large Italian builder into a size a family or group of friends can actually use. At a little under twenty five metres she carries nine guests across four cabins, and a refit in 2023 has kept her feeling current, with warm timber below and a clean, contemporary profile on the water. A crew of four run her quietly, which is a generous number for her size and shows in how smoothly the days unfold.
Her outdoor spaces are the first thing a guest notices, because she spreads life across three levels. The flybridge sits high above the water with seating, sunbathing and a bar, the natural gathering point for the run between anchorages and for drinks as the light fades. Forward, a set of sun pads on the foredeck gives a quieter place to lie out away from the main flow of the day, and aft the main deck opens to a shaded lounge and an outdoor dining table that works for a long lunch or a dinner under the stars.
Down at the waterline she is built for swimming and water sports. The bathing platform sits close to the sea with the tenders and toys a step away, so an afternoon at anchor turns easily into paddleboarding, snorkelling or simply drifting in the warm water. The deck crew have the kit ready before anyone asks, and the layout keeps the active side of the yacht separate from the quiet corners, so one group can swim while another reads in the shade.
Inside, the main salon is bright and welcoming, lined in honey toned timber with pale seating and large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The space runs from a comfortable lounge to an interior dining area on one level, an easy, sociable layout that suits a group who want to eat, talk and relax together. The woodwork gives the room a warmth that cooler modern styling often loses, and the glass doors fold back to join the salon to the shaded aft deck when the weather invites it.
Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for nine guests, built around a full beam master with its own bathroom and good natural light. The further cabins give couples, children and friends their own space, each finished in the same careful timber, and the mix of doubles and a convertible cabin makes her a practical choice for a family as readily as a group of adults. The finish is consistent throughout, so the choice of cabin is a question of taste rather than rank.
Performance is part of the appeal too. With a top speed around thirty knots she can cover ground when the plan calls for it, reaching a further island for lunch or beating the weather back to a sheltered harbour, then dropping to an easy cruise when there is nowhere in particular to be. That flexibility changes how a charter feels, opening up a wider stretch of coast than a slower yacht of her size could reach.
She is well suited to the Mediterranean, moving in short hops between coves for a swim, harbours for the evening and the odd longer run when the itinerary calls for it. For a family or a group who want space, pace and warm Italian comfort in a yacht that is easy to live aboard, NAYLA is a well judged and genuinely welcoming choice.
