NIKO III

NIKO III is a 31-metre GRP planing superyacht built by Custom Line in 2012 to the 100' model, with exterior and interior design by the Zuccon studio — the long-standing design partner associated with Custom Line's production and semi-custom output. At 199 GT and a maximum speed of 27 knots, she is a fast-planing vessel whose specification prioritises agility and pace over range or volume. Her build represents Custom Line's approach to sport-inflected Italian yacht construction at this length.

Twelve guests across five cabins are served by a crew of five — a lean ratio that reflects the operational model of planing charter yachts, where efficiency and responsiveness take precedence over hotel-style staffing structures. NIKO III charters exclusively in the Balearics, including Ibiza, and her 455-nautical-mile range defines a tight operational envelope that is well matched to this circuit. Guests seeking extended range, transatlantic capability, or access to other Mediterranean regions will need to look elsewhere.

The Custom Line 100' hull in planing configuration is designed for quick transits and direct port-to-port efficiency. At 27 knots maximum and 16 knots cruise, she can cover the Balearic island group at a pace that allows flexible daily itineraries. The Zuccon design work on this platform — both exterior and interior — delivers the coherent, purposeful aesthetic that the studio has refined across multiple generations of the Custom Line range, prioritising clean proportions over decorative elaboration.

Water access is provided directly from the hull at speed or at anchor, with a jet-ski, two paddleboards, a kayak, snorkelling gear, and an inflatable water toy forming the standard inventory. A Seabob is available at additional cost. The absence of listed deck amenities such as a jacuzzi or stabilisers is consistent with the planing charter yacht type, where the vessel's speed and directness of access to anchorages are themselves part of the guest experience.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
