Noa Danielle was inspired by the Fantail Motor Yacht designs of L.E. (Ted) Geary, a renowned Naval Architect of the 1920's. Geary's designs were particularly inspirational in creating the blueprint for Noa Danielle. Her pilothouse and forward bulwarks were raised giving her a look similar to the charming passenger carrying steamboats that plied the waters of New York Harbor at the turn-of-the-century.
