About NERO Yacht
NERO was inspired by J.P. Morgan’s legendary Corsair IV yacht
Corsair to NERO: The Inspiration Behind the Yacht
J.P. Morgan built four large yachts with the name Corsair, the last being Corsair IV, which was constructed at Bath Iron Works in Maine. When this final yacht of the Corsair series launched in the ’30s, she was a tremendous force within the waters it explored, spanning 342 feet in length.
At the time, she was the largest yacht ever built in the U.S. and cost $2.5 million. Corsair was enjoyed by Morgan for 10 years before turning her over to the British Admiralty in 1940 to be used during World War II. Following the end of the war, she was sold by the British Navy, rehabilitated throughout her time under the government’s ownership and released for luxury sailing.

When you do a refit, you want to apply your own style, but you have to respect the history and the soul of the vessel.

NERO Yacht: A New Era of Superyachts
Award-Winning Excellence
Experience Inspired Design on Every Level
While NERO is truly a piece of art, its destiny was to be experienced in an integrative way rather than be admired from afar. The refit focused on enhancing its livability and functionality, which supports its potential as a charter yacht. The intention to find balance between both aesthetic and function has not gone unnoticed — Pomponi was awarded first place for the Master Cabin Award at The International Yacht & Aviation Awards in 2017 in recognition of her outstanding work on the vessel’s interior. When receiving the award, she explained, “When you do a refit, you want to apply your own style, but you have to respect the history and the soul of the vessel.” The history behind NERO’s design can be felt on every level of her decks.

Award-Winning Excellence
In 2009, NERO was awarded Best Motor Yacht over 75m at the ShowBoat International Awards (now formally named the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards). In 2016, NERO underwent an extensive nine-month refit. The exterior was fully repainted and the interior transformed by renowned Italian designer Laura Pomponi of Luxury Projects. The owner wished to retain NERO’s classic elegance, but to give the boat a more contemporary feel.
