Daycruiser Boat: Combining the Riviera lifestyle with sensible functionality
Experience the Nordkapp Noblesse 830
The Noblesse 830 is many things: Your social hub for unforgettable summer days, your reliable companion in rough seas, and your elegant retreat for nights at anchor. But what it's not is your typical Mediterranean daycruiser boat. It embraces the Riviera lifestyle—with a distinctive Scandinavian twist.
A Nordkapp stands out for its sleek lines and instantly recognisable hull. The unpredictable seas are a common thread that ties boating in northern and southern Europe together. The beautiful yet exposed coastline of the Med can produce large swells in no time. Which the Noblesse 830 handles with ease, thanks to its deep-V hull and traditional bow design that cuts through the waves. With a little trim of the engine, you get a smooth and comfortable ride, no matter the conditions.
The distinct design sparks conversations as you moor at the marina, turning strangers into friends over a shared appreciation for sleek looks and sharp functionality.

In summer, time slows in the Med. The long boating season, warmed by golden sunlight creates an effortless rhythm. The French Riviera indulges you with seemingly endless days of pleasure—soaking up morning rays on the bow sunbed, soaring across azure waves, and unwinding over chilled rosé at the marina as the evening breeze rolls in.
This is the essence of the Noblesse 830. It creates memories—for you, your family, and your friends. There's space for the ones you want to bring for the ride, and when you're out cruising along the coast, there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
Stepping aboard the Noblesse 830, you immediately sense Espen Thorup's focus on ergonomic design; every detail is made to put you at ease throughout the day—even when the conditions turn rough. This daycruiser, also known as a cabin cruiser, moves with the confidence of an SUV on water. The spacious cockpit comfortably accommodates up to 10 people, making it a welcoming setting for lively gatherings.
At the helm, you chart your course on one of the 12-inch Garmin displays. The V10 Mercury engine hums to life, delivering refined smoothness and raw power. Manoeuvring out of the marina feels intuitive, thanks to the conventional V-shaped hull and the thrusters at the bow and stern—you quickly forget you're handling an 8,30-metre long and 2.92-metre-wide vessel.
With a final wave to early risers at the dock, you ease into open water—the day's adventure begins.


As the hull seamlessly planes at 12-13 knots, the cockpit remains well-protected from the wind, especially at the helm, where you barely notice the breeze even at 30 knots. The horizon stretches ahead, with endless possibilities for the day.
Perhaps you'll head to Îles de Lérins to soak up the midday sun before docking at Cap d'Antibes for a leisurely lunch. Or maybe you'll explore the Esterel Coast's red cliffs, tracing the shoreline's rugged beauty. Wherever the bow points, you can't go wrong.
And while destinations abound, the real temptation is to find a quiet anchorage, drop the hook, and let time slow to a standstill.

The gentle lap of waves against the hull. The rhythmic sway of a calm sea—time slows, inviting you to indulge in the simple pleasures of the moment.
"Should I unwind on the sunbed in the bow or the cockpit? Or perhaps cool off on the swimming platforms?"
Let these be your most pressing questions this summer.

Drifting white clouds against an endless blue sky—a quiet luxury that invites you to slow down. But on warm summer days, life is best lived beneath the bimini. Music from the onboard speakers sets the mood. Time flows unhurriedly—you rinse off with the freshwater shower after a swim and settle in with a good book in hand.
The practical entrance in the middle of the aft bench allows you to move quickly through the boat and to the bow, which is especially useful when at anchor—whether you're diving into the sea from the bow or climbing up the swimming ladder on the aft deck.
And when life above the surface needs a fresh pace, you fire up the V10 to find out what lies around the next bend in the rocky coastline.


As the day fades, you steer towards a nearby port for the night. After dinner at a seaside restaurant, you return to your vessel. You uncork a bottle of wine, and conversation with fellow boaters stretches long past sunset.
This is the Noblesse 830 experience—where time slows, and every moment at sea becomes yours to enjoy.
