Owner Experience Review
Owners and operators run the Black Shiver 140byNOVAMARINEas a luxury dayboat and charter platform on the Riviera, a fast tender/chase-boat to larger yachts, and a family weekender. The walkaround deck, a cockpit dinette that converts to a double, and a separate head with shower make short coastal trips and overnights realistic. The model appears in mid‑2010s brochures with used listings from 2017, and an updated Ego version announced in 2022, with hulls shown in broker inventories through 2023–2025.
On the water, measured stern‑drive testing recorded planing at roughly 12 knots, about 33 knots at 90% rpm, and a 38.1‑knot top speed. Handling is described in trials as precise and sea‑kindly, with steering response effective and never nervous. Dual/contra‑rotating prop transmissions with electronic throttles aid close‑quarters work, delivering a short turning radius and confident maneuvering. Stability at speed and at rest is strong, with a notably dry ride for a 14–15 m RIB.
Onboard, finish quality is consistently praised, with dedicated storage and a helm layout that keeps controls well placed. Access to machinery is straightforward via the lifting aft sunpad. Owners and operators have a range of propulsion choices (twin diesel stern drives or multiple large outboards), and configuration strongly influences service complexity and running costs; multi‑engine, high‑power setups naturally raise the maintenance budget. Public, long‑term failure threads specific to this model are scarce, with most information coming from sea trials, broker materials, and charter operators.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile mission profile for day‑charter, tender/chase duties, and short family cruising.
- Precise, stable handling with a dry ride and excellent close‑quarters control.
- Practical overnight layout with a convertible berth, separate shower/head, and near‑2 m headroom.
- Multi‑engine, high‑power configurations increase routine service cost and complexity.
- Cabin is oriented to short stays rather than extended cruising.
- Public long‑term owner feedback is limited compared with more widespread models.
