Nordhavn Yachts

Nordhavn Yachts is the world recognized leader in the semi-custom adventure motoryacht category. Manufactured by Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc., (PAE) based out of Dana Point, CA, the Nordhavn brand has more global circumnavigations and ocean crossings to its name than all other motoryacht manufacturers combined.

Naval Architect Jeff Leishman has designed every single Nordhavn, the first one being a 46-footer in 1989. Since then, 30 different models have been created and 625* hulls ranging in length from 35 to 120 feet have been delivered to buyers from all over the world.

Nordhavns have a storied history including a world record for fastest global circumnavigation by a production power boat achieved by a Nordhavn 40 in 2001-02. Other feats include the successful convoy of 18 motoryachts (16 of them Nordhavns) across the Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Gibraltar in 2004, as well as yachts that have achieved the highest latitudes on record, and a Nordhavn 57 that voyaged through the NW Passage.
