Ask yourself some questions....
"Does my broker really know the boat that he is selling me?"
"Can
my broker tell me the boats weak points?"
"Can my broker tell me
what commonly becomes a problem and how much it will cost?"
"Can
my broker tell me what the problems have been with other Nordhavns of this size?"
"Has my broker taken this, or a boat like it, to pieces and put it back together again?"
"Has my broker sea trialled or taken this boat on a passage?"
Then ask us, we may have a more appropriate answer than your broker!
What you should know and understand about Nordhavn Yachts.....
Of course we all know that these boats are built overseas! P.A.E. does a fine job of organizing the building of these
amazing yachts and the yards out do themselves every time they ship a new boat. The craftsmanship is truly astounding.
But......
1. These boats are very
reasonably priced and not without their problems.
2. I could go on about
all the issues we've found over the years, but suffice to say that we have learned a lot about these little ships.

When these boats arrive in the US for commissioning, they are not perfect...
It is up to people like us, to find as many issues as we can and correct them. We try our best and strive to find
as many problems as we can.
When our Technicians finds a manufacturing error,
they score another point. We are happy to point out these problems to an owner, to learn from these issues and to apply our knowledge to other Nordhavn Yachts. We have been gaining knowledge of the Nordhavn fleet for almost ten
years!
During service on older Nordhavns, we have commonly found issues that
did not arise during commissioning.
Despite the problems, we still think that
Nordhavn builds the best trawler out there. We love these boats and we have sailed many miles on them. We sincerely want you
to be knowledgable in your purchase and we'd like to help you throughout your ownership! So why would you be interested
in buying a Nordhavn from anyone else?
Trust us......we know Nordhavns
from the inside out!
