About this tender

Novamarine BS100 Outboard - what we know.

A 2023 Novamarine BS100 Outboard is for sale with us, lying Olbia at €395k. The Novamarine BS100 Outboard is a 9.9m chase boat from Novamarine, built in Olbia, Italy: outboard power, 47 knots and 12 guests.

The Black Shiver 100 is the build we ask Novamarine for when a programme needs a capable ten-metre RIB that can handle both daily tender duties and longer passages without compromise. At 9.98m overall with a 3.58m beam, the hull sits in a practical size bracket - compact enough for a garage deployment on vessels of sixty metres and above, substantial enough to carry twenty people with genuine confidence in a chop.

Novamarine offers the BS 100 in two distinct drivetrain configurations, and the choice matters. The outboard variant puts more than 800 hp to work for a 47-knot top speed and a 35-knot cruise, making it the performance-first option. The sterndrive configuration is rated above 540 hp, returns a 38-knot maximum and a 30-knot cruise, and tends to suit owners who want a lower centre of gravity and a cleaner stern platform. Both share the same hull geometry and the same twenty-person capacity.

We would put the BS 100 alongside the ten-metre offerings from other Italian RIB specialists. What distinguishes the Novamarine is the degree of personalisation available for megayacht integration - the yard is explicit that the hull is developed to suit individual yacht programmes rather than delivered as a shelf product. For a captain specifying a tender to sit alongside a larger support vessel, that flexibility in finish and equipment is worth factoring into the brief.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

01

Dual drivetrain availability

The BS 100 is offered in both outboard and sterndrive configurations, sharing the same 9.98m hull and twenty-person capacity. The outboard route delivers a 47-knot top speed on more than 800 hp; the sterndrive option runs to 38 knots on more than 540 hp. The decision shapes stern layout, garage fitment, and day-to-day maintenance access, so it is worth settling early in the specification process.

02

Twenty-person capacity at ten metres

A twenty-person maximum across both variants is a meaningful number for a vessel just under ten metres. It means the BS 100 can function as a genuine shuttle tender for larger guest groups without requiring a second transfer run, which is a practical advantage when a mothership is at anchor off a busy destination.

03

Megayacht customisation programme

Novamarine positions the BS 100 explicitly as a yacht tender platform, with personalisation available to match individual vessel aesthetics and operational requirements. For owners whose programme has specific colour, finish, or equipment preferences, the yard's willingness to adapt the build at the specification stage reduces the need for post-delivery modifications.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

How much does the Novamarine BS100 Outboard cost?
The Novamarine BS100 Outboard is priced on request: the figure depends on engines, finish and delivery, so the yard quotes each build. SuperyachtTenders quotes new-build and pre-owned pricing within one working day, with lead time and the options that move the number. One pre-owned hull is on the market, from EUR 395k.
Is the Novamarine BS100 Outboard available now?
Yes. A Novamarine BS100 Outboard is in stock now and can be viewed and sea-trialled before purchase. One pre-owned hull is on the market, from EUR 395k. Enquire through SuperyachtTenders for slot, delivery and pre-owned options in one reply.
How fast is the Novamarine BS100 Outboard and how far will it go?
The Novamarine BS100 Outboard has a top speed of 47 knots, a 35 knot cruise and 12 guests on a 9.9m chase boat. Figures are the builder's published numbers for the standard driveline; a different engine option changes speed and range, which is one of the things we confirm before you commit.
Which drivetrain configuration should we specify for the BS 100?
The outboard variant is the performance-first choice, delivering 47 knots on more than 800 hp and leaving the stern platform clear. The sterndrive configuration suits programmes where a lower engine profile matters for garage fitment or aesthetics, with a 38-knot maximum on more than 540 hp. We recommend confirming garage height and transom clearance on your mothership before committing to either layout.
Can the BS 100 accommodate twenty people safely?
Novamarine rates the BS 100 at a maximum of twenty persons across both drivetrain variants. At 9.98m overall and 3.58m beam, the hull has sufficient volume for that number in sheltered to moderate conditions. For offshore or exposed passages, a captain's assessment of sea state should always govern actual loading.
Is the BS 100 sized for a tender garage?
At 9.98m length and 3.58m beam, the BS 100 sits at the upper end of what most tender garages in the sixty-to-eighty-metre mothership range can accommodate. Draft is 0.75m. We would recommend verifying your vessel's garage opening width and height before finalising the specification, particularly if the outboard variant adds transom height.
What personalisation does Novamarine offer on the BS 100?
The yard positions the BS 100 as a megayacht-integrated tender and states that customisation is available to suit individual programmes. The source does not specify the full scope of options, so we would recommend a direct brief with Novamarine at the enquiry stage to define finish, colour, and equipment fit-out in detail.

The yard

Novamarine

Olbia, Italy

Novamarine is a Sardinian RIB and luxury tender builder, operational from Olbia on Italy's northeastern coast. The current company in its present corporate form dates to 2008, growing out of the SNO shipyard group led by brothers Andrea and Francesco Pirro; the broader brand lineage traces back to production in Olbia from the early 1980s. The yard builds at the SNO site in Olbia, with direct sea access, and targets the superyacht support, professional, and military markets across a range of four active lines: the flagship Black Shiver (BS) series, the HD line, the RH line, and a smaller Tender series - covering hulls from roughly 4.0m out to 24.0m.

In the superyacht context, the build we ask Novamarine for is a Black Shiver: a high-capacity RIB whose foam-filled, closed-cell tubes are engineered to be puncture-resistant and non-deflating, giving meaningful safety and stability margins over a conventional air-tube collar. Hull construction runs fiberglass with vinylester resin and Kevlar reinforcement. The BS 100 (9.98m) carries up to twenty guests at up to 47 knots; the BS 120 (12.0m) is the most requested hull for professional and military programmes; the BS 160 (17.0m) steps up to a full cabin format with multi-engine outboard or sterndrive options. The BS 220 sits at the top of the range as a self-sufficient passage-capable tender. Forty-three percent of Novamarine sales go to foreign customers, and the vessels are in service with coast guard and rescue agencies alongside private superyacht programmes - a build quality signal captains and project managers read clearly.

Guide

The Best Chase Boats (2026)

The best chase boat is the independent hull that holds the mothership's transit speed and earns its keep on a real mission. This is the owner's-side shortlist by builder and size band, the specs that separate a real chase boat from a fast day boat, and the crewing reality.

Reference

What Is a Chase Boat?

A chase boat is a fast, fully independent day boat, usually 10 to 20 metres, that travels alongside a superyacht with its own crew, its own fuel, and its own classification to extend the operating envelope. It is not stowed in a garage.

Reference

Chase Boat Sizes

Chase boats run from roughly 9 to 21 metres across four working bands, with most current orders concentrated between 12 and 18 metres. Bigger costs more per metre to run, with crew steps at 14 and 18 metres.
