Nordhavn

Nordhavn's trawler and explorer yachts are crafted with design elements inspired by North Atlantic fishing boats, ensuring their capability to navigate any weather conditions. If you seek a motor yacht for long-distance cruising in comfort, exploring Nordhavn's range is a worthwhile endeavor.

These vessels are known for their rugged and purposeful construction, designed to excel in the vastness of the open sea. The displacement hull designs prioritize efficient sub-10-knot long-distance cruising, providing an optimal experience for extended journeys. Nordhavn offers both twin-engine configurations and super-efficient single-engine installations, complemented by auxiliary wing engines, boasting impressive ranges measured in thousands of miles.

Nordhavn yachts have achieved remarkable feats, with eight completing full circumnavigations, over 150 crossing oceans, and a Nordhavn 40 holding the record for the fastest circumnavigation by a production powerboat. These accomplishments underscore the exceptional seaworthiness and capabilities of Nordhavn yachts, even those under 30m (98ft) and many under 20m (66ft).
