Every decade or so a yacht is designed that is extraordinarily successful by all measures. Lines and proportion are wonderfully pleasing, while at the same time highly functional. Aesthetic attraction is universal, performance is exemplary, and the ideal balance between subjective and objective qualities are achieved. One design having all these qualities is rare and it invariably becomes a classic by which others are measured. In the highly specialized world of oceangoing recreational power boats, the Nordhavn 46 has achieved legendary status of a modern day classic.

Not built to dock in a marina, the Nordhavn 46 can, and will, take you anywhere you wish to venture. Owner’s know their Nordhavn 46 can take them across the bay, down the coast, through the canal and across the stream. Several have taken the journey across oceans with little fanfare.

The Lugger single engine is considered to have an engine life expectancy of over 20,000 hours. Nordhavn has been cruising the world and there has never been a reported incident of a main engine failure causing serious concern. The new (2021) Yanmar wing engine has its own transmission, shaft, and folding propeller capable of pushing the boat at 3-4 knots. Adequate “get home” engine by any measure.

Do not miss this Nordhavn 46. She is ready to leave tomorrow for new adventures. No disappointments. Well cared for by a fastidious owner, his change of plans dictates the sale.

You can step onto the Nordhavn 46 through the transom door or through the port or side access doors. Once into the cockpit you are protected by the extended upper deck which also protects the starboard side companionway.
