Welcome Aboard!
Isola Naida
Isola Naida is our home on the water – a ketch-rigged Reliance 44, designed by Pierre Meunier and constructed in 1982. With her solid construction, classic lines, and warm mahogany interior, she’s ideally suited for extended cruising and life aboard.
Isola Naida is hull #15. She was finished with mahogany wood throughout and a teak and holly sole in the salon. She has a classic layout with plenty of space for puttering about inside or lounging on her deck.
About Us
We’re D’Arcy and Noelle. We met in 2023 and quickly discovered a shared sense of adventure. A few months into our relationship, driving along the coast of Nova Scotia led to a simple question from Noelle: “Have you ever thought about living on a boat?”
Little did she know, it was something D’Arcy had been thinking about for a long time. That question would eventually lead us to Isola Naida. We’re both much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, but this is probably the best photo we have together.
