FIRST OWNERS AND DESIGNER’S COMMENTS:
“THE BOAT WE WANTED”
"Nikka is the boat we wanted, we designed and built it as it was in our dreams", declared a beaming Roberto Lacorte. "I'm happy because she's even more beautiful than we imagined and for this I want to thank Alessandro Vismara and all the team that gave birth to her". This is echoed by his wife Luisa, who helped to create the interiors for Nikka: "It is a boat that we feel is ours, because there is so much about us, our character and our ideas. All this, however, would not have been possible elsewhere: with Alessandro there is friendship, esteem and trust, and only with these assumptions could a jewel like Nikka be born". Lastly, for Alessandro Vismara: "This boat was born from the culture of an expert and mature owner and is the synthesis of Vismara's experience in high-tech cruising and regatta boats. A yacht to be produced in small bespoke series, which unites the world Vismara to the Baltic".
