Fifty knots is a number most hulls of 16 metres never see, let alone see comfortably. The Novamarine BS160 sees it as a matter of course. She is built to work two jobs at once: tender to a yacht too large to come alongside herself, and a capable day cruiser in her own right when the bigger boat stays at anchor. Novamarine offers her with a genuine choice of power, twin Volvo Penta D6-440 diesels as standard, or Mercury Verado or Yamaha outboard packages for an owner who prefers that layout, so she adapts to how she will actually be used rather than forcing one answer on everyone. At 16 metres with a draught under a metre, she stays nimble close to shore, and two cabins below give her four berths of real privacy for an overnight stop. For an owner weighing up a tender that never feels like a compromise, the BS160 is the rare one that does not.

Performance

Fifty knots at the top, 35 at a cruise that still feels unhurried.

Twin Volvo Penta D6-440 diesels come as standard, with Mercury Verado 400 or Yamaha F425 outboard packages offered as alternatives for an owner who wants a different maintenance routine or a lighter stern. However she is powered, a 2,000 litre tank and a 400 nautical mile range mean she is never tied to the dock for long, and a draught of just 0.8 metres lets her work water a deeper hulled yacht would have to avoid. It is the kind of performance envelope that makes her as useful running errands for a megayacht as it does carrying her own guests out for the day.

Design & Lines

Drawn to work twice as hard as her size suggests.

Novamarine’s own design team shaped the BS160 around a dual brief, tender and day cruiser, and the hull reflects it: a 4.5 metre beam that keeps her stable alongside a superyacht’s shell door, and a profile low enough to stow easily yet purposeful enough to be enjoyed on her own. Novamarine’s naval architecture carries the brand’s RIB heritage into a larger, more versatile hull, with foam-filled tubing along the sheer line that doubles as a fender system, a detail that matters as much on tender duty as it does cruising among other boats at anchor.

Living Spaces

Eight for the day, four for the night, one hull for either.

By day, the BS160 carries eight guests across open deck space built for sun and easy movement, with seating arranged for conversation rather than just transit between bow and stern. Come evening, she settles into her other role, two cabins providing four berths for an owner who wants the option of staying aboard rather than always returning to the mother yacht. One crew member runs her comfortably, which keeps her light to operate whether she spends her week ferrying guests ashore or cruising independently for a night or two away from the fleet.

Range & Autonomy

A 400 nautical mile range that outlasts most days out.

A 2,000 litre fuel tank backs the 400 nautical mile range, generous enough that fuel stops rarely dictate the itinerary, whether she is covering ground independently or supporting a larger yacht on a longer passage. Cruising at 35 knots, she closes distance quickly enough to make a same day return from a far anchorage realistic rather than ambitious. The shallow 0.8 metre draught adds a second kind of range, access to shallower bays and lagoons a deeper vessel of this length would have to pass by entirely.

Engineering

Built by the engineering team that has defined the maxi RIB since the 1990s.

Novamarine’s engineering department stands behind the BS160’s structure, drawing on three decades of experience building large, fast RIB hulls into a platform that holds its composure at 50 knots and still works as a comfortable, two cabin cruiser at rest. The choice between inboard diesel and outboard power is engineered to be genuine, not cosmetic, each configuration tuned for its own balance of range, maintenance and stern footprint. At 16 metres, she represents the size at which Novamarine’s RIB expertise scales convincingly into something closer to a true yacht tender, without losing the agility that defines the brand.
