This custom configuration is amazing! It's way better and practical than the standard layout that comes along with the normal N60's. Time to circumnavigate the globe. 😊
Really enjoyed the long awaited tour. What an amazing vessel she is - you’re Dad is clearly a very clever man, having the foresight to make the design changes to suit what he wanted! And how lucky you are to call it home whilst traveling around the globe!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it!! He did lots of research and reading before building encore and made sure to change it all to maximize everything!! I’ve been very lucky to call this pretty ship home 🤩
Thanks for the tour. I had noticed the lack of a cockpit staircase and thought it a great idea, but I didn't notice the removed staircase in the pilothouse. Your Dad did a really great job with the planning of all these great changes. Enjoy your time on Encore, it's is truly an adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to more great videos!!
Ah yes the removal of the staircase in the pilot house is major for helm space which is always nice :) the cockpit stair removal gave us room for a second tender. Remove all the stair cases! Lol not really but I am glad to have you along for the adventure, so happy to hear you are enjoying the videos :)
One of the best boat tours that I have seen. And of my favorite boat! This was fantastic. Thank you for the time and thoroughness of the tour. Very nice!!! Love to see your dads pride of the boat and his daughter!!
Thank you so much for your kind hospitality while showing your boat. The layout and changes you’ve made are amazingly functional. I can tell how much joy and enrichment it gives to each of your lives. You are literally living my dream! And for a little while you made me feel like a very welcome guest in your home. But most importantly, please hug camo for me. He is beautiful and really makes your boat a home. My prayers go with you for a safe and happy life. May God bless you all. Thanks again for a very enjoyable and relaxing morning, that gives pease to my heart. Take care. Your friend respectfully, Bruce.
Love the custom touches and layouts, Mike the Engineer shines through. The removing of the outside stairs and the overlapping of the internal stairs is brilliant. Also like that the two main staterooms are accessed from the same floor. I've never understood why Nordhavn makes such big heads on their regular designs, your layout is ever so much more practical. The addition of a shower to the Captains cabin is another brilliant touch.
I’m glad to hear that you like the layout, it’s just so nice and open with the staircase changes. And yes I agree no need for such large bathrooms, the size we have is plenty big. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
That's probably the best layout I've seen on a 60 the full head in the captains quarters is amazing usually there's no shower beautiful job your Dad did on his changes
This is the best boat tour video. So complete. So well thought out and executed. So appreciate it. You should get a job with Nordhavn to do all their boat videos. Love the boat. Love the extras that Mike ordered and put in the boat. Wish it was mine. Thanks for the great video tour and all of your Adventure Tour Videos. Keep it going!!
WOW what a compliment, thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much, we tried our very best!! We are always open to job opportunities lol I agree he made some great modifications, I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos :)
Thanks for an excellent and very complete tour! All props to Nordhavn (their reputation speaks for itself) and to your Dad for such meticulous and thoughtful work in making an already impressive ship simply fabulous! You have every right to be proud of your good ship Encore! 😎
BEAUTIFUL! I mean, all Nordhavn's are, but Encore truly is AMAZING. I am impressed. "Come on Camo! Camo! Down we go Camo. Camo, show us the foredeck! Camo. Oh, look, it's Camo's Ride"
Excellent Boat tour. Beautiful well thought out layout decisions Mike. Most Captain cabins on Boats this size don't have showers. 3 queens are also a luxury not seen on Boats this size. Easy to see you are all proud to show off this treasure. Happy Cruising. 😊
So glad you enjoyed it! I agree he did a great job laying it out. It’s nice to have plenty of bed space and bathroom space especially when we have friends and family aboard. We love our floating home it works out great for us!
The staterooms on the other 60's have been why I didnt care for that length. Your pop's knocked it outta the park with the layout on Encore. Absolutely perfect!
Fantastic tour of the practicalities of your N60's, would love if you let the engineer in your Dad loose on a video about the engine room, what sort of maintenance and checks are required while under way. What checks are required while cruising? etc. Thank you
Fun tour. I dont know if you guys remember a funny late 90s sitcom called "Just Shoot Me!" but if you do, your dad totally reminds me of the main character, Jack Gallo. Looks like him, sounds like him. David Spade who played Dennis Finch, I keep expecting to walk up behind your pop and say something funny yet sarcastic! Thanks for the fun tour. Give camo a hug.
Thanks so much for sharing the videos! It allows me to enjoy watching so much awesome stuff and places that you guys go too, That I could never afford but I get to enjoy it through your camera. 😉😘
Pretty nice video tour there guys. Very informative and passionate with its delivery. You guys sure love your boat and the boat life. I know because i was raised and worked the waters most of my life and i love it as much as you. Whats next ???
Just found you and subscribed! Loved the tour and the configurations/layouts are so smart! I’m an old boater from way back so am reliving some of the adventures with you! Enjoy your journey and thanks for allowing us to come along......Camo must be an old salt by now!! 🐶❤️
Hey there welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and I agree, I love the changes that were made. Makes it so much more livable!! I’m sure you cruised to some incredible places over the years and Camo is loving his new ocean life :)
WOW, an amazing vessel, your Dad is a major dude, what a wonderful opportunity to be able to cruse on this beautiful yacht. Best part was when you said, now we will go look at our 'anchor stuff', very nautical, almost fell out of my chair , LOL, beautiful tour, thanks.
He is, it’s been a great time cruising together and exploring. Hahaha I know some technical lingo but not all of it, but it works you knew that I meant 🤣😉 lol
Recently I have watched boat reviews in the 50+ range and all were equipped with dual high HP motors and I couldn't wrap my head around the high cost of fuel consumption. I realize your boat is intended for long-range cruising and from videos of cruising on the open seas, what good is all that power when you're speed is limited to trawler speed anyway? Would that be around 8 to 10 knots? At 10 knots how much fuel do you burn per hour? Thank you for the comprehensive tour of your beautiful boat and it was good to see your happy dog again. Looking forward to following your adventures in future videos.
This boat has very small engines so I’m not sure what boat reviews you were watching. But encore has a 325hp and a 150hp I believe or something very close to that. Wide open we can maybe hit 11 knots and we travel at around 7 knots
OK, thanks for the clarification on your power plant. In my opinion, your set up is ideal for both economy cruising and by having the smaller second engine, something to get you to port if your main engine breaks down.
Great presentation. As a potential customer for another Nordhavn, please comment on maintenance costs. This is a complex unit with numerous systems that need regular attention/maintenance/replacement. What's on your list? What spare parts are included?
I saw the episode where you were anchored and a storm came through, but then I saw you were on a Nordhavn so I knew you were safe. Capt. Mike knows what to do. Stay safe
Thank you for the tour of your amazing yacht. She's a beautiful mini-ship. I swear, Explorer's have got to be the best type of monohull there is. Other than speed, they're better than the rest in just about every way.
thank you all for the walk round of your fathers yacht, I take my hat off to your father , as I've never seen a clean engine room as on Encore. Love the layout as well.
thank you for your reply, but can I ask how often does your father run the wing engine or service's both engines, sorry for all the Qs but I just love these boats.
We run the wing engine every time we turn on the boat because we use the wing engine to run our hydraulic pumps. The engines and generators get serviced(oil changes and filters) at different times, but I believe it’s about every 500 hours or every 6 months. Whichever comes first. There is probably some other servicing as well, but that is the main servicing it requires as well as checking coolant and oil levels before each use
Nice floating device there. Just a suggestion that I’ve seen (or rather heard) in some of your videos. Try to put a sock over the mic so the wind noise muffles out. Great adventure you’re on and.. cool golf club storage 🤠 Subscribed
We have a dead cat on our microphone, it’s a big fuzzy thing to keep noise down but when it’s really windy you can still hear it, we also need to learn about our mic a little bit more! Glad to have you along for the adventure:)
Wow Wow Wow, what a great tour on such a great boat, I can picture that ship out to sea in some huge waves and she'll take it all in stride! So when you purchase a boat of such magnitude did you previously own a boat, and what is the learning curve like as there so many systems to learn? Also was that a Nordhavn docked on your starboard side? Well thanks for the tour and Cammo makes the boat all the more special!
SO glad you enjoyed the tour! My father has been on boats and has had boats his whole life starting with 30 footers and now making his way up to 60+ footers. Learning the systems took a while...its an ongoing process and yes that was another N60 docked next to us!
Great video, And ask the Captain mentioned. You should really do a video of all the work it takes to clean, maintain and all the work that goes into owning and operating a boat like this. i have a feeling a lot of people think you guys just enjoy, eat and do what you want
Oh I’m sure many people just see the dream and don’t even consider all of the work that goes into it. I try to include some of that into the videos and we will have a video out soon of us cleaning the WHOLE boat antenna to keel. And wow what a task that is
Beautiful boat! Camo is sad you didn't show his bathroom ;-) You three did a great job on this. No running over each other and kept it moving nicely. Love it!
Lol thanks for noticing 🤣 it definitely required a little bit of coordination but we managed! Lol I think Camo was just protesting the fact that we were inside and not at the beach haha
I love the intuitive ECDIS systems, makes navigation so much easier and provides all information as you customise it. I think you can even plot in waypoints for great circle navigation today direct to the system. Nice and clever daughter and dad that makes a great presentation of a wonderful boat.
It really is incredible to have all of the information you need easily accessible right at your finger tips! Makes navigation a breeze. So glad that you enjoyed the walk through, I hope you enjoy our other adventures as well :)
I love the N60, I think it used to be the N55, but they lengthened the rear cockpit and added a longer swim platform I think. The modifications your Dad did are amazing! Well thought out, my congratulations to Capt. Mike! This must be paradise in Bermuda, the Bahamas or Carribeans! My dream would be to go to Thailand through the Panama Canal and a stopover in Hawaii. I’m sure your yacht would make Mike Nelson jealous over his Argonaut! Haha! Fair winds and following seas! Pierre in Montreal 🇨🇦
What an incredible home! I love it very, very much. Your dad has really come through with a fantastic customized home. I really love the engine compartment, because you can go barefooted and have clean feet when you are finished walking around inside of it.
Ah yes his beloved engine room. He keeps that thing as clean as a whistle! Definitely won’t be coming out of there with oily or dirty feet! So glad you enjoyed the boat tour :)
From Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. Hello beautiful people thank you for the awesome tour of the yacht. You are awesome people and your dog. Thank you for the video.
Now THAT is a boat tour! Such a beautiful vessel, and very well organized. I really like that water filtration unit, located in the galley by the sink. Will you share a link to it or the manufacturer name? Thanks, happy cruising!
So glad you enjoyed the video! At the time this was taken yes we were living and traveling full time on the boat. Check out the channel to see all the full time adventures!
Thanks for the Tour, Very Nice Vessel. Question: How many Miles to you get on a Load of fuel on the 325hp? Under full load, what would be the mileage? Thanks.
You are very welcome I’m glad you enjoyed the tour! We usually burn about 6 gallons an hour while traveling at 7.5 knots. The cruising range is about 3,000 miles but we would probably slow down a little bit to hit that range
Best tour of a Nordhavn yet! Love all of Mike's improvements with many smart upgrades We actually put an offer on a N60 in Florida in 2017 so we too like these vessels. You've got the perfect setup you guys. Just a great video!! 😎👏🐾⚓🦘
Wow what a compliment 🤩 oh wow I had no idea you were almost aboard a Nordhavn as well (or if you mentioned that to me I must have forgotten) glad you enjoyed seeing the setup and the video!!
You father did an amazing job. Excellent tour! Do you have FT Captain/crew? What qualifications are required in the United States to pilot a 60' yacht? Sorry for the many questions. Again great video! Please keep them coming.
Yes he did I agree! And so glad you enjoyed the tour. The 3 of us were the full time crew and captains. My dad was the official caption but we all took turns driving the boat and all helped to maintain it. It all depends on prior boating experience. My dad had had boats for years that have all progressively gotten larger so he didn’t have to have any formal training or certification. His boating experience was enough to insure the boat
Great layout, the alterations you have made are all sensible with obvious advantages - I especially love the extra room in the pilothouse that's a huge difference. I am curious to know how long it took for Nordhavn to make the alterations. Stay safe and keep having fun.
I agree the pilot house is one of the areas where a ton of space is added thanks to the reconfiguration, such a big difference! It took 2 years to build and ship the boat. My dad knew all changes he wanted to make before the building process began so that didn’t add too much time to the traditional building time
Great walk-thru! Don’t forget that stunning cherry wood. Beautiful boat and layout. Camo is a great dog and it’s great he is such a good boater. Do you like the full length overhang on the cockpit?
Thank you, we are happy with how it turned out :) and yes the woodwork makes it look so nice and rich on the inside 😍 we got very lucky with how much camo loves boat life!! And we love it. Extra space above and it provides nice shade, if we want some sun there are plenty of other places to go to get that! Lol
You mentioned that you can use the thrusters to hold you against a dock until you can tie yourself off while you're single-handed. Is that a common feature on all thrusters? Thanks for the tour!
Typically you cannot set thrusters to a position where they just stay, I’m sure more boats will be adding ones like these in the future but it is an awesome feature
I've watched quite a few yacht tours and this one certainly had the personal touch. I think Natalie and her Dad did an outstanding job detailing the features of their boat, Natalie not only understood the functions of the many mechanical parts, she presented in a warm and engaging style. She was also very attractive! This review/tour is right at the top for quality and content of any similar tours I have watched. Very nice people too and I could tell they loved their cute dog and that tells me a lot about their personalities. I got a kick out of him because he owned the boat and was very happy and showed it by wagging his cool tail all the time. One thing I gleaned from the tour was the importance of storage space on a boat, I guess you can't have too much storage. One question about the powerplant. Is there only one primary propulsion engine rated at 325HP? I know it has the smaller engine as a back up, but I would think a standard setup would be two main engines with much more HP? It didn't seem like having just 325HP is enough to push this large boat through rougher water. Thanks for your time and sail safe where ever you go.
We are so glad you enjoyed the tour!! We had fun putting it together and really wanted to cover all of the practicality of the boat, not just the specs! And it is crazy but yes it really does just have that one small engine pushing this big boat! We cruise slow, at about 7 knots and the single engine is actually more fuel efficient than the twin engine models. Some of the Nordhavns have twin engines but most are single engine. That’s how they are able to cross oceans so efficiently:)
12 out of 10 for that video😍 I'm an electrician, w/a little OCD🤔😜 and I geeked out a little on the AC cabinet and the precise terminations👍 Does Capt. Mike carry duplicate hydraulic hoses or does he have the tools too crimp his own fittings?
Wahooo so glad you enjoyed it and that we got your stamp of approval 😉 those electrical cabinets are CRAZY, sooo organized and beautiful. Oh he carry’s extras of everything and what we doesn’t have a spare of he has the tools to fix and to crimp. It’s all about being self sufficient out on the water
Was your dad Mike in the movie business. The boat was for sale out of North Hollywood California. Is he going to get another boat. Really enjoy your videos they are better than most tour guide videos. Hope you are able to continue to produce videos after the Encore series ends. Captain Mike always keep low key in the videos yet his inspirational spirit is present. Again great job.
He was not, there must have been another encore for sale out there because this one was lost in palm beach, FL. that’s so wonderful to hear that you enjoy the videos, the videos will be continuing!!
Does Nordhavn have any wood finished other than dark cherry? I’ve noticed a light wood finish gives a great sense of space. Beautiful vessel. Bon voyage.
You guys did a better job at presenting your little ship then a boat broker seller person. Great stuff guys. I love what the Daddy has done with the lady ship. Dad's are just so smart , yes I'm a father . Top video mini ship people. Now I'm gonna have ta watch all your vids .Cool
Thanks! It was our first time doing a boat tour but we tried our best!! And yes he did a great job re-configuring it! Enjoy the other videos!! We have some fun adventures, boat maintenance, and of course cruising 🥰
Thanks! It was a different kind of video to record but we had fun doing it!! So happy to hear you enjoyed it and the other videos as well. I can’t wait to visit beautiful Ireland one day!!
![$2,995,000 YACHT TOUR: Nordhavn 68 "Hokulani" in Seattle, WA [MV FREEDOM]](/img/n.gif)
This custom configuration is amazing! It's way better and practical than the standard layout that comes along with the normal N60's. Time to circumnavigate the globe. 😊
It's look like new N625 has exactly the same layout.
Yeah the layout is very very similar!
We are slightly biased but we completely agree, we love this layout it works so well for us and really gives us a ton of usable space
@@adventures your dad should ask for royalties
Really enjoyed the long awaited tour. What an amazing vessel she is - you’re Dad is clearly a very clever man, having the foresight to make the design changes to suit what he wanted! And how lucky you are to call it home whilst traveling around the globe!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it!! He did lots of research and reading before building encore and made sure to change it all to maximize everything!! I’ve been very lucky to call this pretty ship home 🤩
You 3 did better than any of the Nordhavn tours! WELL DONE!
Wow what a compliment! Thanks 🤩
Thanks for the tour. I had noticed the lack of a cockpit staircase and thought it a great idea, but I didn't notice the removed staircase in the pilothouse. Your Dad did a really great job with the planning of all these great changes. Enjoy your time on Encore, it's is truly an adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to more great videos!!

Wow such a compliment thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the boat tour as much as we enjoy the boat :)
One of the greatest boat tours I have ever watched. Thank You.
Wow what a compliment. Thank YOU!
Wow. That's the cleanest engine room I've ever seen. That boat is in perfect condition.
And that wasn't just for the video, that's really how clean he kept it all the time!!
the amount of effort these guys put into these videos is tremendous, they litteraly replied to every single comment.
That’s I really appreciate that! Definitely try my hardest ☺️
One of the best owner/operator, practical & functional layouts I’ve ever seen for a boat of this size. Perfect!
So glad you like the customizations :)
Thank you so much for your kind hospitality while showing your boat. The layout and changes you’ve made are amazingly functional. I can tell how much joy and enrichment it gives to each of your lives. You are literally living my dream! And for a little while you made me feel like a very welcome guest in your home. But most importantly, please hug camo for me. He is beautiful and really makes your boat a home. My prayers go with you for a safe and happy life. May God bless you all. Thanks again for a very enjoyable and relaxing morning, that gives pease to my heart. Take care. Your friend respectfully, Bruce.
Love the custom touches and layouts, Mike the Engineer shines through.
The removing of the outside stairs and the overlapping of the internal stairs is brilliant.
Also like that the two main staterooms are accessed from the same floor.
I've never understood why Nordhavn makes such big heads on their regular designs, your layout is ever so much more practical.
The addition of a shower to the Captains cabin is another brilliant touch.
I’m glad to hear that you like the layout, it’s just so nice and open with the staircase changes. And yes I agree no need for such large bathrooms, the size we have is plenty big. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
That's probably the best layout I've seen on a 60 the full head in the captains quarters is amazing usually there's no shower beautiful job your Dad did on his changes
I agree, he really did an incredible job with thinking of those changes and Nordhavn did a great job bribing the dream to life!
This is the best boat tour video. So complete. So well thought out and executed. So appreciate it. You should get a job with Nordhavn to do all their boat videos. Love the boat. Love the extras that Mike ordered and put in the boat. Wish it was mine. Thanks for the great video tour and all of your Adventure Tour Videos. Keep it going!!
WOW what a compliment, thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much, we tried our very best!! We are always open to job opportunities lol I agree he made some great modifications, I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos :)
best boat tour I have seen yet - good stuff and great explanation on everything!
Thanks for an excellent and very complete tour! All props to Nordhavn (their reputation speaks for itself) and to your Dad for such meticulous and thoughtful work
in making an already impressive ship simply fabulous! You have every right to be proud of your good ship Encore! 😎
Thanks so much!! So glad to hear you enjoyed it and all of the changes :)
I am not sure why this video was recommended to me, but I am happy that it was . . . beautiful! 👍
Yay so glad you enjoyed it :) I hope you join along for all of our adventures!!! New episodes come out every Tuesday 😊
I especially like the golf club stowage. You're dad's awesome.
It’s insane how much stuff you can pack away on this boat! And yes he’s great 🙌🏼
*your
You are dad's awesome? WTH does that mean?
BEAUTIFUL! I mean, all Nordhavn's are, but Encore truly is AMAZING. I am impressed.
"Come on Camo! Camo! Down we go Camo. Camo, show us the foredeck! Camo. Oh, look, it's Camo's Ride"
Tour guide Camo at your service lol Thank you for the compliments, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Just watched this again, for the 10th time. What a great boat. Hope your Dad is doing well as a landlubber!!
I’m so glad you enjoy the video ☺️ and yes he is really enjoying land life! Hope life is going well for you too
so far this is the best configuration/set-up on a nordhavn boat. the choices all make sense..
Lovely boat. Thanks for the tour. I am sure you three will have some fun times on that.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed :) tons of amazing cruising has been had and plenty more to come!
Yours is a beautiful boat with a fantastic layout. Much better than the standard layout. Makes me rethink.
Thank you for sharing.
Awesome glad it gave you something to consider! We hoped it would help out some people looking at boats to consider different configurations
Excellent Boat tour. Beautiful well thought out layout decisions Mike. Most Captain cabins on Boats this size don't have showers. 3 queens are also a luxury not seen on Boats this size. Easy to see you are all proud to show off this treasure. Happy Cruising. 😊
So glad you enjoyed it! I agree he did a great job laying it out. It’s nice to have plenty of bed space and bathroom space especially when we have friends and family aboard. We love our floating home it works out great for us!
The staterooms on the other 60's have been why I didnt care for that length. Your pop's knocked it outta the park with the layout on Encore. Absolutely perfect!
I agree that he crushed it!! I feel like a layout like this as a standard layout would sell so well
Fantastic tour of the practicalities of your N60's, would love if you let the engineer in your Dad loose on a video about the engine room, what sort of maintenance and checks are required while under way. What checks are required while cruising? etc. Thank you
Great tour! I wish more owners/captains did such in-depth walkthroughs.
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it, thanks for watching, happy to have you along on the adventure
beautiful Nordhavn 60 layout. You also did a very thorough walkthrough.
What an amazing boat & family. I look forward to watching your channel more. Have fun!!!
Glad you found our channel and enjoyed the video, happy watching :)

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed the tour. It’s a great boat to be cruising around in that’s for sure!!
Beautiful vessel, your dad must of worked hard for it good on him i hope you all enjoy her and have many safe yrs together .
He certainly did, it’s nice that now he gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor 💕
Swapping a ladder well for that wet locker is one of the best things I've seen. Well, that and the stbd side awning.
It’s a game changer for sure and provides sooo much more space. The awnings are so practical, we actually have one on both sides!
Love your channel! It has been fun watching all your adventures what an experience of a life time thanks for taking us along.

Thank you for the tour of your amazing yacht. She's a beautiful mini-ship. I swear, Explorer's have got to be the best type of monohull there is. Other than speed, they're better than the rest in just about every way.

So when you purchase a boat of such magnitude did you previously own a boat, and what is the learning curve like as there so many systems to learn? Also was that a Nordhavn docked on your starboard side? Well thanks for the tour and Cammo makes the boat all the more special!
SO glad you enjoyed the tour! My father has been on boats and has had boats his whole life starting with 30 footers and now making his way up to 60+ footers. Learning the systems took a while...its an ongoing process and yes that was another N60 docked next to us!
Amazing walk-thru! The only thing I would add would be a couple of dock boxes on the boat deck for food storage. Be happy, be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it, that would add good storage but could invite insects in or cause it to spoil out on the hot sun!
Great video, And ask the Captain mentioned. You should really do a video of all the work it takes to clean, maintain and all the work that goes into owning and operating a boat like this.
i have a feeling a lot of people think you guys just enjoy, eat and do what you want
Oh I’m sure many people just see the dream and don’t even consider all of the work that goes into it. I try to include some of that into the videos and we will have a video out soon of us cleaning the WHOLE boat antenna to keel. And wow what a task that is
Thanks for sharing. You guys are great. Safe travels and looking forward to your next video trip.
We are no longer on the boat, but there are over 50 videos of boat content and travels that you can enjoy!! We had some crazy and fun adventures
Great video, chaps! I particularly love the pronounced bespoke nature of this trawler. May you all have years of wonderful, safe adventures!
Thanks! So glad to hear you enjoyed it :) it is a very distinctive trawler and thankfully it works out just perfectly for us. 😊
Is she not the twin of Genisis? All around a very beautiful expedition boat! Job well done to your father and the great Nordhavn team!❤
This is the same boat. My father designed and commissioned it and when it was sold the new owners changed the name to Genisis
What a great team! Your Dad is awesome!
He is awesome 😎
Beautiful boat! Camo is sad you didn't show his bathroom ;-) You three did a great job on this. No running over each other and kept it moving nicely. Love it!
Lol thanks for noticing 🤣 it definitely required a little bit of coordination but we managed! Lol I think Camo was just protesting the fact that we were inside and not at the beach haha
I love the intuitive ECDIS systems, makes navigation so much easier and provides all information as you customise it. I think you can even plot in waypoints for great circle navigation today direct to the system. Nice and clever daughter and dad that makes a great presentation of a wonderful boat.
It really is incredible to have all of the information you need easily accessible right at your finger tips! Makes navigation a breeze. So glad that you enjoyed the walk through, I hope you enjoy our other adventures as well :)
Great design decisions! Changing out those staircase was genius
Thanks!! We are super happy with the changes!
I love the N60, I think it used to be the N55, but they lengthened the rear cockpit and added a longer swim platform I think. The modifications your Dad did are amazing! Well thought out, my congratulations to Capt. Mike! This must be paradise in Bermuda, the Bahamas or Carribeans! My dream would be to go to Thailand through the Panama Canal and a stopover in Hawaii. I’m sure your yacht would make Mike Nelson jealous over his Argonaut! Haha! Fair winds and following seas! Pierre in Montreal 🇨🇦
I love how pops leans on the horn lol. Great tour thanks.
Hahah he loves that horn 😂 glad you enjoyed the tour, I hope you enjoy the other adventures too!!
Waouh ...!! Vous avez le bateau et ses équipements personnalisés de mes rêves...! Bons Voyages... vos vidéo sont super ! Bravo !
What great tour, thanks. Looking forward to following your up coming adventures.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and we look forward to having you along for the adventures :)
Was for a boat tour. Thank you. Beautiful yacht! Looking forward to watching your journey!
So many more adventure to come. Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour :)
What an incredible home! I love it very, very much. Your dad has really come through with a fantastic customized home. I really love the engine compartment, because you can go barefooted and have clean feet when you are finished walking around inside of it.
Ah yes his beloved engine room. He keeps that thing as clean as a whistle! Definitely won’t be coming out of there with oily or dirty feet! So glad you enjoyed the boat tour :)
its a very nice and functional configuration . beautiful boat
We really love the layout as well, works great for us!
From Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. Hello beautiful people thank you for the awesome tour of the yacht. You are awesome people and your dog. Thank you for the video.
Hello hello!! So glad you enjoyed the tour and the channel :) thanks for watching
Now THAT is a boat tour! Such a beautiful vessel, and very well organized. I really like that water filtration unit, located in the galley by the sink. Will you share a link to it or the manufacturer name? Thanks, happy cruising!
Awesome so glad to hear that you enjoyed it!! It’s called a Berkey, it’s wonderful! Definitely get one :) we love ours!!
the rustling wind actually adds come realism to these tours! and some interesting practical tips on fueling and tenders, wet locker etc. Safe travels!
Cool I’m glad you liked that was in there :) glad you liked the video, more come out every Tuesday!
Beautiful yacht. My boat and condo are in your video. Very cool 😎
Thank you and that’s so cool! I’m sure that was a fun surprise
I love that your dad blast the neighbors every time he mentions the horn.
Haha luckily most of the boats around are sport fishing boats with no live aboards and the others are friends 😉
Hello, amazing video. Thank you for presentation, so do you guys actually live on the boat primarily ?
So glad you enjoyed the video! At the time this was taken yes we were living and traveling full time on the boat. Check out the channel to see all the full time adventures!
Awesome video! You guys are really stepping up your game with the videos. Love the configuration of this boat. Greetings from Hong Kong!
Thanks we try our very best!! So cool to have people watching our videos from across the world 🙌🏼
Thanks so much for the great tour. Clearly a lot of thought and work went into the design of this beautiful vessel.
Very cool video….super informative and I love the N60, she’s a beautiful vessel.
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes such a Beauty I agree 🤩
Thanks for the Tour, Very Nice Vessel. Question: How many Miles to you get on a Load of fuel on the 325hp? Under full load, what would be the mileage? Thanks.
You are very welcome I’m glad you enjoyed the tour! We usually burn about 6 gallons an hour while traveling at 7.5 knots. The cruising range is about 3,000 miles but we would probably slow down a little bit to hit that range
Best tour of a Nordhavn yet! Love all of Mike's improvements with many smart upgrades We actually put an offer on a N60 in Florida in 2017 so we too like these vessels. You've got the perfect setup you guys. Just a great video!! 😎👏🐾⚓🦘
Wow what a compliment 🤩 oh wow I had no idea you were almost aboard a Nordhavn as well (or if you mentioned that to me I must have forgotten) glad you enjoyed seeing the setup and the video!!
Finally the video I’ve been waiting for but didn’t want to ask for. Lol !
Well plenty of others asked for you! Lol
You father did an amazing job. Excellent tour! Do you have FT Captain/crew? What qualifications are required in the United States to pilot a 60' yacht? Sorry for the many questions. Again great video! Please keep them coming.
Yes he did I agree! And so glad you enjoyed the tour. The 3 of us were the full time crew and captains. My dad was the official caption but we all took turns driving the boat and all helped to maintain it. It all depends on prior boating experience. My dad had had boats for years that have all progressively gotten larger so he didn’t have to have any formal training or certification. His boating experience was enough to insure the boat
@@adventures Thank you so much for responding!
You are very welcome :) I hope you enjoy following along for the adventures!
awesome live aboard.. it's not a boat it is a home.. dad did a great job customizing this
Very very true, it’s our floating home 🥰
A great tour. Very informative.
Well done. From Australia!
Your living my dream. 👍
So happy you enjoyed the video and found it informative 🙌🏼 thanks for joining along on the journey with us
Absolutely an Amazing vessel.Looking forward too seeing her underway on her next exciting adventure..🍀✌😊
More Bahamas content coming next Tuesday just had to take a quick pause to finally put together our walk through video
Great layout, the alterations you have made are all sensible with obvious advantages - I especially love the extra room in the pilothouse that's a huge difference.
I am curious to know how long it took for Nordhavn to make the alterations.
Stay safe and keep having fun.
I agree the pilot house is one of the areas where a ton of space is added thanks to the reconfiguration, such a big difference! It took 2 years to build and ship the boat. My dad knew all changes he wanted to make before the building process began so that didn’t add too much time to the traditional building time
Great walk-thru! Don’t forget that stunning cherry wood. Beautiful boat and layout. Camo is a great dog and it’s great he is such a good boater. Do you like the full length overhang on the cockpit?
Thank you, we are happy with how it turned out :) and yes the woodwork makes it look so nice and rich on the inside 😍 we got very lucky with how much camo loves boat life!! And we love it. Extra space above and it provides nice shade, if we want some sun there are plenty of other places to go to get that! Lol
You mentioned that you can use the thrusters to hold you against a dock until you can tie yourself off while you're single-handed. Is that a common feature on all thrusters?
Thanks for the tour!
Typically you cannot set thrusters to a position where they just stay, I’m sure more boats will be adding ones like these in the future but it is an awesome feature
Fantastic. I love your configuration.
Thanks so do we!!
Where were you leaving from to go to the Bahamas? How many days is that trip? Miles? Thank you for the video!
If you check out episode 28 you will be able to watch our journey there! We departed from the Jupiter inlet in Florida :)
When you say you "polish the fuel" does that mean that it goes through a series of filters to clean it? Love, love, love your boat.....
Yes that’s exactly what it means! So glad you enjoy her as much as we do!
I've watched quite a few yacht tours and this one certainly had the personal touch. I think Natalie and her Dad did an outstanding job detailing the features of their boat, Natalie not only understood the functions of the many mechanical parts, she presented in a warm and engaging style. She was also very attractive! This review/tour is right at the top for quality and content of any similar tours I have watched. Very nice people too and I could tell they loved their cute dog and that tells me a lot about their personalities. I got a kick out of him because he owned the boat and was very happy and showed it by wagging his cool tail all the time. One thing I gleaned from the tour was the importance of storage space on a boat, I guess you can't have too much storage.
One question about the powerplant. Is there only one primary propulsion engine rated at 325HP? I know it has the smaller engine as a back up, but I would think a standard setup would be two main engines with much more HP? It didn't seem like having just 325HP is enough to push this large boat through rougher water. Thanks for your time and sail safe where ever you go.
We are so glad you enjoyed the tour!! We had fun putting it together and really wanted to cover all of the practicality of the boat, not just the specs!
And it is crazy but yes it really does just have that one small engine pushing this big boat! We cruise slow, at about 7 knots and the single engine is actually more fuel efficient than the twin engine models. Some of the Nordhavns have twin engines but most are single engine. That’s how they are able to cross oceans so efficiently:)
Wauu. What a boat 👌 Thanks for showing us.
So glad you enjoyed the tour!
Absolutely stunning
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Can’t believe that Ive just found this boat for sale on lone..
Loved watching the video blogs.
Now I just need to save quick to buy.
So glad you have enjoyed watching the videos! And she is already sold but maybe next time she sells you can snatch her up 😉
A brilliant video and an excellently well kept and managed boat. Thank you for sharing with us.
So glad you enjoyed, we try to keep her in tip top shape!
Great Yacht.
Excellent video!!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid :)
12 out of 10 for that video😍 I'm an electrician, w/a little OCD🤔😜 and I geeked out a little on the AC cabinet and the precise terminations👍 Does Capt. Mike carry duplicate hydraulic hoses or does he have the tools too crimp his own fittings?
Wahooo so glad you enjoyed it and that we got your stamp of approval 😉 those electrical cabinets are CRAZY, sooo organized and beautiful. Oh he carry’s extras of everything and what we doesn’t have a spare of he has the tools to fix and to crimp. It’s all about being self sufficient out on the water
Encore is the one I want.
It’s such an epic boat. My dad did an amazing job with the modifications and changes! ☺️
Such an amazing beautiful vessel! Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!
Was your dad Mike in the movie business. The boat was for sale out of North Hollywood California. Is he going to get another boat. Really enjoy your videos they are better than most tour guide videos. Hope you are able to continue to produce videos after the Encore series ends.
Captain Mike always keep low key in the videos yet his inspirational spirit is present.
Again great job.
He was not, there must have been another encore for sale out there because this one was lost in palm beach, FL. that’s so wonderful to hear that you enjoy the videos, the videos will be continuing!!
Does Nordhavn have any wood finished other than dark cherry? I’ve noticed a light wood finish gives a great sense of space. Beautiful vessel. Bon voyage.
Yes they do, I have been on some other Nordhavns that have a lighter wood interior! And yes it does help to lighten up the space
Well thought out design - congrats!
He put a lot of time and energy I to the planning and I agree he did a great job designing!!
You guys did a better job at presenting your little ship then a boat broker seller person. Great stuff guys. I love what the Daddy has done with the lady ship. Dad's are just so smart , yes I'm a father . Top video mini ship people. Now I'm gonna have ta watch all your vids .Cool
Thanks! It was our first time doing a boat tour but we tried our best!! And yes he did a great job re-configuring it! Enjoy the other videos!! We have some fun adventures, boat maintenance, and of course cruising 🥰
