A shallow 0.8 metre draught opens water most yachts her size cannot reach.
The BS 120 draws just 0.8 metres, a figure that belongs to a RIB rather than a 12 metre cruiser, and it lets her work shallow anchorages, sandbanks and river mouths that would ground a conventional hull of this length. Twin MAN V12 diesels drive her to a 28 knot cruise and 35 knots at the top end, figures chosen for settled, repeatable open water running rather than a single headline number. A 5,000 litre fuel capacity underwrites a 400 nautical mile range, enough for a genuine multi day cruise rather than a series of short hops back to the fuel dock.
Her lines are sport boat first, open yacht second.
The BS 120 carries the Black Shiver family’s low, taut sheer and high, foam filled bulwarks, built to give her the protection of a proper hull without the visual bulk of a conventional motor yacht. Novamarine’s own in-house team draws every BS model to the same brief, speed with elegance, rather than one at the expense of the other. A broad 3.7 metre beam steadies the silhouette against her length and gives the deck real width to work with, while the shallow draught keeps her sitting level and purposeful at rest as well as underway.
Twelve for lunch, eight to stay over, and neither feels cramped.
By day the BS 120 comfortably hosts twelve guests across her open deck and cockpit, a genuine step up from the BS 100’s eight. By night, two cabins sleep eight, a surprising amount of genuine accommodation for a boat built around an open, RIB style deck plan. Two crew can be carried to run the boat and look after guests, letting an owner treat her as a proper small yacht rather than a day boat that happens to have a berth below. The layout is proof that the Black Shiver concept scales, more length buys more people, not just more deck.
Life aboard moves easily between sun, shade and the water itself.
A wide, uncluttered cockpit sits at the heart of the BS 120, finished to the same teak and composite standard as her smaller sibling, with seating built for groups rather than a handful of guests. The forward deck opens into a further sunbathing and lounging area, while the swim platform and ladder keep the sea itself part of the day rather than an afterthought. Customisation runs through the range, with teak, carbon and reinforced panel options letting an owner tune the finish without changing the boat’s underlying character. It is a deck built to be used all day, not admired for ten minutes at the dock.
She is the size where an open boat starts to behave like a small yacht.
At 12.1 metres with a 3.7 metre beam, the BS 120 sits in the gap between a maxi RIB and a proper motor yacht, carrying twin MAN V12 diesels as standard with MTU and Caterpillar diesel options for owners who want more. Her 5,000 litre fuel tank and 400 nautical mile range make her as capable of a genuine cruise as a day out, and a crew of two means she can be kept ready and run properly rather than left to her owner alone. Novamarine’s in-house design and engineering teams carry the same brief across the Black Shiver range, so a BS 120 owner inherits a boat built to the same standard as every sibling either side of her in size.
