You should have known from the title..... if you know, you know!

@@chriswhite4915 two words, 'classic' and 'Nordhavn'.

18 month ago I didn't know what a Nordhavn was ...!

6:25 mark is where you'll find a nice place to tuck yourself away with a good book! (Nick laughed a bit as he said this knowing full well I would note it)

My pleasure!

With 6 knots, it will actually takes forever :D

The inland waterways capability didn't even occur to me! You could probably get into some *very* interesting countries. @AQUAHOLIC, can you get to the Czech Republic from the Med?

@@MesaperProductions No, but you can get to Slovakia or Austria if you got to the black sea and then up the Danube river. Unless there is some canal into the Check republic, closest you can get is Bratislava,SL or Vienna, AU.

@@MesaperProductions No, but rumour has it Sevastopol to Siberia is definetly do-able.

@Atticus Xavier Same. This is definitely working.

Check out ranger tugs they do the same with even smaller boats

@@logan52s36 PO and 0p0

@@alanswanson1952 no they dont..not 900 gallons

@@alanswanson1952 I love Ranger Tugs, and yes, they pack a lot of functionality into their boats (my brother just sold his classic R-29), but comparing Ranger Tugs to Nordhavns is really an apples to oranges comparison.

I like the idea of One head because il give me least problema ti think of, least conduct , etc... In the configuration for a family of four would be not so good but Imagine a couple cruising with occasional guests... 😅

But the thing that got me was the service room with full space for food reservoir and huge freezer. 🤩 It give ti me a feels of the most affordable survival boat 😂😂 for escaping in some Pacific atoll if things go down in the world 🤣

Same! This boat has seriously caught my eye. While we have no immediate plans to cross oceans we have thought about crossing the Atlantic eventually and exploring the Med. Looks like it would be a good boat for a couple to do some serious cruising and I love the idea of being able to stay away from the docks for possibly weeks. I'm wondering how much that tiny crane can lift though because we tend to like a decent sized dinghy. I'm sure you could probably upgrade the crane though.

None of them are nice or desirable if you are talking about your wife.

You forgot Classic Nordhavn

Sexy normally means fair weather coastal only, but Nordhaven means ocean 😎

Sounds like the wife.

Ha that’s funny because I disagree, I hate the use of the inside, so busy, BUT agree a stunning looking boat!

Hear, hear !!

Hardy 50 does it for me.

Glad you enjoyed it

I have always thought the only thing I don't like about them was the cherry wood looked too 1990's. But yes they have entered the 21st century, the interior is fantastic and now I can't fault them except being out of my price range. 😥

agreed. The extra freezer and large washing machine boosted the desirability of this cruiser to me.

Yep. I think they're close to hull #50 already!

Classic nordhavn

This one wasn’t a James Bond feel.

Love Nordhavn ! Yep, I'm still here Nick...... Z

This boat isn't champagne and sun pads

Électrique 6 cabine

Sounds very cozy. Now I want coffee too! :)

hmm now im going to go and make myself a coffee

The coffee brew-starting comment! :D I actually made coffee now, tasty!

Exact same thoughts here!

I had a cappuccino to this one, as to all of them ☕

A top quality channel deserves the best comments!

do it... you know you want to... don't have to buy brand new either... can get a serious long-distance offshore cruiser like this Nordhavn for 250k (ok, no small money but if you were seriously selling up and taking out a marine mortgage, entirely do-able I suspect)

I was thinking the same thing. Convert the guest cabin into work space/ storage. You can easily single hand a voyage with this vessel and if time is not a concern then the whole world is possible. Even easier with a extra hand aboard!

😄

I totally agree but I notice the lack of a bridge on this like all Nordhavns I have seen on any site or channel. That was always my favorite feature, a true ships bridge even on a smaller boat. I can only hope the nordhavn 148 comes out this year. What a tour that would be

With you all the way mr sammy bit let down if im honest , dont get me wrong its a stuning boat , but its not really classic nordhavn........ , its modern nordhavn and as lovely as it is its just not quite the same

Agree and waiting.....

@@taffinator9585 For something simultaneously transpac and canal ready, it's pretty darned impressive. In my book, the best designed Nord in a long time. Looks like something Beebe himself would have liked, after having cruised long enough to give up his military obsession with a separate pilot house for a more social Dashew and Cornell style "great room" cruising experience for an experienced couple. Only thing which scared me a bit, was the open "stairwell" in the inline galley, in a boat short enough to pitch a bit... I'm guessing/hoping a divider of sorts could be placed there. But twins; designing the boat to work with engines small enough to be simple; the low airdraft; and easy access to everything (although a watertight door to the stabie fin compartment may have been worth it if you hit a "whale" out in the open...). Also, the wide side decks. Even if that comes at the expense of an "open, airy" interior and thrown-around-in-a-blow ( :) ) room. Ditto a single cabin option. They're obviously targeting this boat to people intent on using it the way most long range cruisers do: As a long term home for two (2) people. And really good tankage. Not just the miminal needed to make the "longest passage" on a "standard" circumnavigation itinerary. But indeed some capacity to improvise, explore and not suffer range anxiety. Heck, I'm not sure, but it may just be light enough to be able to make use of a series drogue, for real belt and suspender types. If so, it's about the only true production "passagemaker" which can. Wouldn't want to bring a drogue for anything this big back on board, but it does beat the alternative should it come down to it. Bigger boats are simply way too big ad heavy, and are stuck relying on their own broach resistance should things go really sideways.... All in all, I can't really think of much I would change. Aside from the price, obviously, since all boats are costly, and really well engineered, built and specced ones are even more so. But for what you get, this does not at all look to be a bad deal. I bet covid and social distancing have pushed order books long, hence delivery dates far out, though.... One important thing you do get, by having a boat this "small" despite being "capable", is freedom from having to maintain anything bigger and more complicated all the darned time. It's nice to be on a boat with a full gym, room for toys, an outside bridge, and especially a little dirtbike to crane ashore and get around on. But then it's also nice to have a crew maintaining it all and keeping it clean out in the harsh marine environment. Whereas if I have to do that myself, especially for long cruises and passages, I don't really want much more than I need. And few strictly "need" more boat than this to get wherever they're planning to go. I'd rather travel in this, and put the "savings" over not going bigger into renting a hotel suite somewhere, should I suffer from excessive cabin fewer after a long time on board. For now, bopping around the Baleares is about all I have the time and inclination to do on a boat. Rendering any Nordhavn a bit overkill. As well as a bit slow, and lacking in party space for Ibiza. But for more "serious" boating, at an at least somewhat realistic price and level of complexity, this is now a new, clear numero uno on my personal list of powerboats to keep an eye on. Enough so that it's made a Leishman fan out of me. Never thought guys who are now successfully selling boats 20+ times the size and price of this to the rich and famous, would put so obviously much thought and resources into something this practical for more regular boaters.

I was once in love with Nordhavn...until I read accounts from owners who complained of wave slap on the bow. The bow is quite vertical and the incessant pounding of waves onto the bow gives the boats a shuddering feel. The semi displacement hull also isn't conducive to ocean crossing due to allowing the boat to be shifted and moved by following waves that come upon the stern. Semi displacement speeds do however allow the vessel to ramp up in speed to out run an up-coming weather system and return to port before the swell becomes uncomfortable. But for myself I want a flybridge, a hull that delivers stability even in rough seas...I want comfort and economy...and complete reliability.

alcoholic boat :D

@@murzello and suddenly the channel name has a hole different meaning XD

LMFAO so true

Seems to be a floating bar. It entices you to drink at every turn.

I was about to get a beer when I read this lol

Awesome! :)

I envy people who are easily pleased.

Awesome!😁😁

I think my fav is "Can do".

Wow, thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

I'd like to add ,the rear of the boat with the railings is perfect for fishing (personally i'd insist on holster type gear attached to the railings for safety sake). Under boats like this , lies a huge larder if you know to to catch , despatch and cook.

@@PHILCHUDS Yep, some additions for sea fishing would be a must. spent 12 months on Ascension Island, so catching, gutting and cooking fresh tuna, wahoo, dorado etc.... were weekly events!

Hope it was worth the wait!

It is pre-plumbed for one. Just pick your brand you want and install it yourself. They wanted to keep the cost down for first-time buyers. Not everyone wants to cross the Atlantic :)

@@MrRich2u That's an odd thing to leave out - even if not crossing the Atlantic - hanging out in the Med, or in the Bahamas - I am not sure the cost of that would stop a buyer... but $710k isn't chump change.

My pleasure!

Glad you like them!

My pleasure!

Thanks!

They will happily sell you a bigger one! 😄

I think I agree with you but its horses-for-courses.... for a couple sans kids or regular stay over guests this is an awesomely capable bit of kit for spending months going anywhere.... for me, with a wife and two kids, I'm looking more at the Selenes, Flemings, Nordhavn 50+, heck even the Adagio's... all in the 50ft+ category mainly for the 3 berths and the Portuguese bridge.... (I've ruled out Traders, not seaworthy enough from what I've read)

Thanks for watching!
