Also featured is a boat deck with a crane for the tender and a remote fueling station for the tender's outboard engine.

Interior

The yacht has a unique layout, with the saloon extended right out to the edge on the port side. The galley directly serves into the saloon area, which is a sociable set-up for generally owner-operated boats. The galley is also equipped with a dishwasher, a gas hob, and a trash compactor. There are multiple storage areas and cold storage compartments, which are indicative of the boat’s long-distance cruising capability.

The yacht has three cabins, with the owner's cabin being particularly well-finished. There is a large amount of storage and meticulously laid out engineering areas. The boat also features an upper deck wheelhouse with comprehensive controls and a utility area with a washing machine and dryer.

Performance

In the engine space, the boat is powered by a John Deere 325hp engine which provides a top speed of 9.5 knots and a cruising range of around 3,000 nautical miles at 8 knots. The boat also has a wing engine, acting as a backup system, independent from the main systems.

In Summary

Nick found the Nordhavn 60 to be a "proper offshore machine" and was impressed by its attention to detail, substantial construction, and practical features.
