A palatial go-anywhere cruiser available in both aft pilothouse and forward pilothouse designs

Based on the hull design of Nordhavn’s N72, the 76 gives its owners more space and luxury. There are still the same decisions available to potential owners: the forward or aft pilothouse design, twin or single engines and whether or not you want to opt for the bulbous bow.

About

As with all the semi-custom Nordhavns, the interior can be tailored to the owner, the styling and materials within can be classic or contemporary, or anywhere in between; the choice is yours.

The standard layout for the forward pilothouse features a large salon and dinette, which is served by a huge galley complete with full-size domestic appliances to make extended cruising and long-distance voyages no hardship.

Forward are two vast double suites; the Owner’s cabin is full-beam, at the widest sections of the hull, while the VIP guest cabin is no less impressive.

Below the salon is the cavernous engine room, forward of which is a twin guest cabin. In the pilothouse, the helm has an excellent layout with all instruments and equipment to hand.

On the aft pilothouse, the main deck has an even longer saloon and galley that the FPH version and forward is the palatial owner’s suite with the master heads compartment forward. It’s furnished with his-and-hers sinks, a bath and a separate shower compartment.

On the lower deck there are two more guest cabins; one double and one twin, both with en suite heads compartments.

On the pilothouse deck is all a captain could need: a wide, well laid-out helm station with a second seat for the mate, a raised dinette, pilot berth and day heads.

From The Manufacturer

With popularity of the “northwest trawler”-style boat on the rise, PAE set out to create a new, big modern passagemaker that fused this salty look with the advanced systems of the latest Nordhavns. The result was the Nordhavn 76: developed for those yachtsmen who want an aft pilot house boat which carries its shore boats on the foredeck. Like our venerable Nordhavn 62, the pilothouse of the N76 is set aft, carries its crane forward and can launch its shore boats off either the port or starboard side. Based on the hull form and specifications of the N72, the simple goal of this model was to create a small superyacht which was true to the rugged ocean going heritage of other Nordhavns while at the same time stunning in her elegance, fit and finish, systems and engineering.

The boat was taken from drawing board to factory seamlessly through the efforts of Naval Architect Jeff Leishman, along with the design and engineering team at PAE, and the Taiwanese builders at our partner factory, Ta Shing. The final product has exceeded everyone’s goals.

Nearly a year was spent in the tooling and mold-building phase of this project to create the hundreds of highly polished molds required to construct this complex boat in gleaming gel coat finished GRP (fiberglass) construction.

The Nordhavn 72 took PAE to the next level and the 76 has taken off from there. An interior decorator was commissioned to up the degree of style most megayachts are known for - including crown moldings, granite, leather, well-engineered lighting, and the finest appliances. Though a little more glitzy, there’s no denying that a Nordhavn exists at the heart of this boat. Numerous handrails, half-inch tempered glass windows, watertight doors and bulkheads and many other features essential for safe operation offshore.

Like the 72, the fact that this boat is so complete, a regular options list does not exist. Standard on the 76 is chilled water air conditioning, TRAC stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, Marquipt davit, wing engine, dry exhaust, two inverters, 20 batteries, windlass and ground tackle, and a lot more. Simply add your electronics package, tenders on deck, personal affects you’re ready to go.

The highly developed standard AC and DC electrical systems on the N76 achieve a new level of sophistication for Nordhavn and allow for semi-automatic operation of this feature-packed vessel by a small crew or even one couple.

The single main engine is the highly respected Detroit Diesel series 60 in the 535HP configuration and with its 25,000-hour life expectancy, should outlast most of us.

Another choice that the buyer of an N76 is given is whether or not to have a bulbous bow or conventional bow. The N76 hull mold has two different bow configurations (conventional and bulbous) which are interchangeable and set up prior to hull lamination.
