NORDHAVN 55 - [Talk Through Tour] - SOLD!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- SOLD! Congratulations and safe travels to the new owners.
Hull number three of the incredibly popular Nordhavn 55 design, she is a strong, capable offshore cruiser and one of the most popular trawlers that Nordhavn has built.
She has been underway seeking adventure since she was commissioned. Her sellers are the third owners, experienced boaters, who knew ENTERPRISE III was something special when they purchased her and have actively travelled thousands of miles while maintaining her in “ready to go” condition.
The original buyer had owned many other trawlers and was one of the first to realize the potential of the 55. He made excellent selections in layout out and equipment and traveled thousands of miles before turning her over to the second owners.
They too were active cruisers owning her for four years. She has always been pampered while actively cruising along the west coast of North America, spending most of her time between Alaska and the PNW (all seasons) and Mexico Sea of Cortes.
For the past seven years the current owners/sellers have enjoyed full-time cruising aboard this remarkable trawler home primarily in Mexican, tropical waters.
The Nordhavn 55 design is substantial, she measures nearly 61’ overall and her impressive size features a tall freeboard for a dry ride and contains generous headroom throughout. Her high bow, efficient hull, practical layout, and luxurious amenities make this yacht ideal for ocean passages and remote coastal cruising.
The quality of fit and finish has earned Nordhavn a reputation for seaworthiness, comfort, and strong resale values. The Nordhavn 55 model has been the choice of both novice and veteran cruisers and her ocean crossing capability, storage for provisioning and reliable equipment installed make her a mostly self-sufficient vessel for visiting isolated locations for long intervals.
Complete with an owner’s stateroom aft, guest cabin forward and captain’s cabin aft, Enterprise III provides plenty of accommodating options for comfort and rest aboard. One of the great features that helped launch the success of the Nordhavn 55 is the incorporation of a private head and sink on the bridge deck. This “day head” is aft to starboard and is a great use of space to provide this essential convenience. The location is ideal if you are on watch in the pilothouse and is a quick few step away from the action in the saloon.
The pilothouse is what separates the Nordhavn 55 from the typical motor yacht. The window placement provides a near 360 view which rivals that of a large commercial boat. The Stidd helm chair puts the captain within easy reach of all bridge controls and allows for a commanding view of the surroundings of the vessel. One of a few Nordhavns with the ClearView portal in the forward windshield. Aft of the helm chair is a raised L-shaped settee and table that accommodates up to five people.
A Nordhavn is not meant to park in a marina, its purpose is to travel! By keeping on the move, systems are maintained in good working order, ready and reliable.

Exellent review, as always. Thanks!
Ben: Thank you very much!
The Nordhavn 55 seems to be my favorite. Beautiful
Piney: I’d say you have good taste!
Such a beautiful ship
RV: Thank you, even better in person!
These tours are as close as I’ll ever get to boarding one of these so thanks for taking me along.
Jack: Glad you are able to enjoy these.
This is exactly the boat I want, but alas I don’t have a spare $1m to buy it nor the additional $1m to live on it (provisioning, petrol, maintenance, etc.). But a man can dream
Not to worry, even if you had the money to buy it the real expenses begin with the operating costs. Fuel, food, repairs, ,maintenance, insurance, crew, docking and berthing fees, lock fees, WINE....... could go on.
C Ber: After purchasing, I am certain you can do this for a lot less than your estimates to live on.
About Time: Costs of ownership should be understood before acquiring. You have identified many of the larger expenses.
How much?
Ranelle: We don’t include the price in the video in case it changes. Pricing and listing details are available here: jmys.com/listings/nordhavn-55-enterprise-iii/
1.2 million lol
The 55 truly is a dream! wonderful ship.
Greg: Thank you for your note, yes, the 55 is a great model.
Nice to see an individual with enthusiasm about his craft even after doing it for a number of years. Nice walkthrough Jeff. Does this 55 have Trac Stabilizers? It’s over double the money I’m considering. I’m just curious.
Tony: Thank you! Yes, Enterprise III has ABT TRAC stabilizers. Appreciate your note.
I saw the 360 video on this and it was great! But Jeff nothing beats your "Talk/View Tours! Your the BEST! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍⚓
Captain Rick: Thank you very much for your nice note and consistently positive comments. I'm still having a lot of fun doing this!
Looking at the bow wave when you had the underway shots it _almost_ looks like one of the previous owners added a bulb bow, do you know if that was done?
John: No bulbous bow on any of the Nordhavn 55's. It could be done, isn't necessary on this design and is a topic a lot of people have an opinion on.
You know your stuff with trawler/expedition boats, especially the mechanicals and design features. Good feature that you have a location schematic alongside your narrative. Only one criticism - Slow down a bit. If your vids run a few minutes longer - doesn't matter.
Blackal53: Thank you for your observation. My brain does not work at trawler speeds - I think too fast, I talk too fast and it is hard for me to say everything I want if I change my normal cadence. This is free form, ad lib and I try to say enough for people to understand some of what is going on. They have gotten longer, I agree, that doesn't seem to matter much, people drop out if they lose interest but many do go all the way to the end.
Damn, Jeff. If I ever win the lottery, I'm calling you up. Love your videos!
Michael: Thank you very much!
Jeff, the attention to detail on your big boat tours is unparalleled. You obviously love what you do. Thanks for sharing!
Panacea: Thank you very much and you are spot on - I'm a very lucky man to be able to do what I love for a living and enjoy sharing some of what I know with others.
For a production boat. There is no way you can go wrong with a Nordhavn.
Wayne: You are correct.
One of the better buys out there even if it needs a lot of deferred maintenance. Lots of aging systems but asking 1.1 is a fair starting price. Good move up boat for those in the +/- 40’ range and knowledgeable about what systems are important to upgrade and willing to do the long hour overhauls. Good presentation.
STI: Thank you for your comment. I was just aboard her today and I really don’t think there is any deferred maintenance. Time and age are natural and you can always do a refresh, but she is ready to take off in the morning.
Looks good. I love the basement. My last boat was a 48' motor yacht fisherman. Had to get to the engine through the galley floor. UGH!
Glenn: Quite a different game plan between a Nordhavn and a fishing motor yacht. The storage and accommodations on a Nordhavn is impressive.
Thank you again for an amazing and detailed presentation on this great 👍 boat 🚢
Jaru: Thank you for your very kind comment!
Somehow in 2021this guy manages to create videos that look totally like 1980's videos. And he seems to be doing it effortlessly. Love it. And great boat, obviously. I would want to have one to travel with my family.
Misha: Thank you, I’m more of a 70’s guy, but did my time in the 80’s too. Thanks for your note. I’m just the talking head - it’s supposed to be all about the boat.
I need to reach a point in my life where my family and I are out of this
bfam44: That point in your life is up ahead, good idea to plan with your family so that you know the goal and can share it when the time arrives.
I am speechless that is one of the nicest trawlers I have seen yet. I loved the freezer and the bathtub. I loved the flybridge. The cabins were amazing, and the galley was great. Nothing says trawler buy a Nordhavn, but the only gripe I could think of...I'm not even going to look at the price because I will probably start crying.
Jason: Thank you for your nice note. We publish prices on JMYS.com if you want to take a peak.
My dream boat...great review Jeff
Bernisa: Thank you. I think the 55 is an incredible platform.
Jeff, nice looking trawler, as a long time boat owner I am curious which brands other than Nordhavn are the most well known, which will sell the quickest.?
Lightchaser: So many "types" of boats, impossible to answer. If you ask me what other brands compete with Nordhavn I would say (in no order), Kadey-Krogen, Selene and Northern Marine (all fiberglass like Nordhavn). If you are serious about more details, please email me direct - Jeff@JMYS.com. Thank you!
It would be nice if he stayed out of the picture, I'd like an uninterrupted view of the boat, similar to aquaholic
Adam: Everyone does things differently.
It wold be so great to live on that boat. Fishing and exploring the waters every day. Eat your meals on the deck all the time. What a life that would be. Learning all about the boat and operating her.
Eli: It is a wonderful lifestyle.
What are the engine hours? I could not see it on your website too.. thanks Phil
TripleHello: The brochure has the hours, it is a PDF brochure and on page 2 and are approximate. he main has 5,384. Wing = 60, and generator = 4,525.
Great tour, Jeff! Nice to know you are available to teach me how to enjoy the boat, without anxiety or trepidation, after purchase.
Scott: The entire process should be an uplifting, educational experience. Really enjoy post sale coaching and training.
Let history never forget the name ENTERPRISE!
Scott: So many "uses" for that name, some may want to boldly explore, some may want to capitalize, others may just want to relax!
I used to drive a VW Transporter to Vulcan street rehearsal studios.
So I got called Spock.
I’d love to go by boat though.
And there is a dock literally over the road from Vulcan.
It’s just a small matter of finding the £1,000,000.
Other than that.
This boat was made for me. 🖖😍
GediSpock: Your adventure awaits.
Gedi: Beam me up!
I’d love to come and see you one day, Jeff.
To be able to buy a boat off you.
That is my dream.
I feel like I know you already. I’ve taken that many UA-cam tours.
Let’s pray God makes it possible.
God bless you and your family Jeff
Hi Jeff, nice troller to live on boar...!!! Enjoy & good show
La Revolucion: Thank you, yes a sweet boat, a wonderful waterfront home. Thanks for watching!
It doesn't look like I could fit but at 6'7 it seems like I could because it has a lot of good height clearance in most areas.
Midtowne: Our dimensions throughout the video are approximate. At 6’7” you will have some overhead clearance issues, but mostly would be fine.
Thanks Jeff ,a very good presentation of a very desirable vessel 😎🇳🇿
Julian: Well, thank you Julian, very positive comment and much appreciated.
Love your walk-throughs. If I ever win a lottery I know who I'm going to buy a Nordhavn from.
Don't need to win lotto easy buy one and charter it out 2 weeks a month for 12 weeks total a year and it will pay for boat and upkeep HINT HINT PLUS IF YOUR CAPTAIN AND OTHER HALF CAN HELP ALSO LIVE ON BOAT CHARTER WILL BE FOR OWNERS CABIN U STILL HAVE 2 MORE STATE ROOMS """"" JUST A THOUGHT "" REMEMBER U ONLY LIVE ONCE
Richard: Thank you very much for your nice note. Always nice to have an ambitious goal!
@@captainron3494 I think that market is wide open, a few hurdles with licenses and insurance, etc. if you did it yourself, but there are some great charter companies that would love a Nordhavn 55 in their fleet I'm sure.
I retire in 12 years I hope you’re still selling trawlers.
Tonyc307: Thank you for the long range planning, this is good practice for long range cruising!
@@JeffMerrillYachts The 2021 N475 should be at my price point in 2033 😂
Lekker man lekker
Gerhard: Thank you!
How can you leave off engines on your spec page?
Keith: The engine models, horsepower and hours are detailed in the downloadable brochure, perhaps you were looking elsewhere?
Thanks for the tour. Wonderful boat.
Lawrence: Appreciate your nice note, Enterprise III is fabulous.
That is now my retirement goal!!
Warren: Very good goal to remain focused on!
Lovely boat, always a rushed feel to his videos with a car salesmen vibe.
William: A lot to talk about and I get excited. The car salesman vibe is certainly not me or what I'm trying to portray.
I don’t get a car salesman vibe at all. Great video!
the boat is an amazing boat. TONS to offer and there's not good way to do a Nordhavn 55 justice in 15 minutes. Jeff's experience and knowledge of Nordhavn's and trawlers is impressive. I'd give a few more of his video's a look see. You'll find his insight, and experiences on the boats, to be impressive and comprehensive.
@@gregbluefinstudios4658 I’ve watched them all, same feeling throughout.
Your 15 minute argument doesn’t stand, do a 2 hour video then if it’s being done to sell the boat, serious buyers will appreciate that more.
But if it’s 15 minutes to gain views then.....
Amazing vessel!
Ross: Agree with you, thanks for your note!
@@JeffMerrillYachts I could only imagine the fight my wife and I would have while I trying to maneuver a 55 at the end of ego alley here in Annapolis! Would’ve been cool if you could’ve demonstrated the bow thrusters better!
Looking at those bike storage containers on the aft deck rail, I wonder what a mount for a trike or pedal quad would look like. Hmm?
Los Angeles Consultant’s Network: Can only imagine.
All the information you could ever want except the most important piece: the frikkin price!
Coogan: This boat is sold. The spec sheet brochure is on JMYS.com listings sold. We don't put the price in a video as it could change. Thank you.
What a ship 🛳
Ian: Thank you!
i wont this boat
Lena: You have good taste! She is a beauty.
👍👍👍Спасибо Большое Джефф!!!🤝🤝🤝
Thank you!
Spectacular vessel (as should be expected). Amazing the extra size compared to the 52.
Wellcraft19: Thank you and I agree, the 55 is a very impressive trawler. The 52 is also outstanding. Guess you and everyone else have some good choices to pick from!
Great boat and a good tour.
Chris: Thank you for watching and for your nice note.
Has the main engine been overhauled or replaced, looks like it would be time to do that???
Howard: No, original with some components changed out over time. With proper care, Lugger engines will run for tens of thousands of hours, this one is broken in and doing just fine.
Nice!good! Very impressive! Thanks for the tour!
Teddy: She is a great boat, thanks for watching.
Please don't sit on the handrails. 💀💀💀💀💀
Mohan7: Noted.
We’ll be ready for one of these in the fall! Put us on the list, please! ☺️
Erin: Thanks, they are great boats. Please feel free to email me direct Jeff@JMYS.com if you want to discuss.
Nice layout!
Colin: This is the original layout with the forward swing bulkhead that I always thought was pretty clever. The single level accommodations deck is very convenient. The basement forward for storage and the day head in the pilothouse are two prized features for most owners.
The fuel bill must be ASTRONOMICAL when cruising the world at 7 knots 🤣
Ian: Yes, that would be expensive, but most long rangers cruise at 7 - 8 knots for a big trip.
I hope you're trolling. With 1 engine barely pushing this probably gets pretty good mileage. Now some of these with 2 engines, faster speed, more weight you might have a point.
Do you think I could pickup models if I owned one?
Ted P: You wouldn't need to.
A very nice boat. What went wrong with the anchor chain? Rust, or painted with prop one?
All about: Not sure what you are seeing. The anchor chain will rust over time, but it still has the required holding strength. You can end for end, clean and galvanize or buy new if you want it to look better
@@JeffMerrillYachts I was wondering if it's rusty, or if it has been painted with prop one, which has almost the same color.
@@allaboutyachting All About: I’m going to guess that it is rust, not familiar with prop one. I guess I’d rather buy an active boat with a little wear and tear and some natural rust than a pampered boat that has never traveled, you don’t know what has been kept active if the boat is idle.
Well done, as always.
Tom: Thank you very much!
@@JeffMerrillYachts the 55 is my favorite.
CALM DOWN DUDE !!! You are ruing the vids.....Please !
Dutch: Thank you, I’m relaxed.
This big Boat and it has a PORTA BOAT....WTF
S Lit: They love the Port-a-bote, their preference. We used it for the filming and it was great. Very easy to beach in Mexico, light and transportable. If you buy it you can put on the dinghy of your choice.
Is that cowhide on the floor of the salon?
Lilricky: Yes, good eye. I haven’t seen it before, but it’s actually very practical and cool. Hey, if you prefer, think of it as unshaven leather.
Sadly, wrong coast.
Just a small trip and through a canal.
@@nutsmcflurry3737 no it isn’t. Why the hell would I want to beat up my boat to just get it to where I am going to keep it ... unnecessary maintenance.
@@eddieohearn17 hahahahahhahaaaaaa what a maroon.
@@nutsmcflurry3737 yes you are and you can’t spell worth a shit. Likely little nuts to.
@@nutsmcflurry3737 I should say only an idiot, like you, would consider trashing his boat getting it to where you want to begin your voyage. I can tell you have close to 0 nautical miles underway.
when i hit the lotto i am getting 1 of these i will circle the us then head to the med then back to the carribean
wsl: Why not? And when you do that you can just keep going either east or west and do a loop around the planet!
@@JeffMerrillYachts well i dont want to get to far ahead of myself not knowing how much I'll win and all
you know
Perfect for my get away!! 😍🙏
Michelle Q: Ideal for that!
Made in China
Larry C: Correct.
Wouldn't like to be on board in a six metre swell!
You wouldn't want to be on board a 100-foot yacht in a 6-meter swell. Very uncomfortable.
@@davidwmcgee I'm referring to the liklyhood of rolling all the way over.
@@TechnikMeister2 Nah, very unlikely to roll over but some of these Nordhavns are for sure rolling puke buckets without excellent stabilization. They can handle big seas, even 20’, but most people avoid passage with conditions like that.
Technik: Weather is the definitive Go-No Go parameter. The height of the swell is daunting, but the period (time between peaks) also has a big influence in the ride.
Price
EnerWyze: Price, photos and specifications on JMYS.com. We don't put in the video in case it changes.
For me the choice would be between NH55 and NH56 (or Shannon 53 HPS). More space & roll stability (NH55) vs less space & fuel economy & lower maintenance costs due to single engine and having no active fins (NH56) and less space & fuel economy & higher speeds (Shannon 53 HPS)
Mediterrano: You say NH 56, but that is the motorsailer, do you mean NH57? I don't think there are very many Shannon's out there, but they build a pretty boat. Thanks for watching.
@@JeffMerrillYachts yes, I really mean NH56. I prefer motorsailers due to quiet cruising, having sails as a backup propulsion and for fuel economy. NH56 is really nice but if I can find (and can afford it too) I would prefer a twin-engine motor-sailer. 2nd preference are trawlers. 3rd preference are fuel-efficient semi-displacement hull coastal cruisers like e.g. NH59 CP or Beneteau Swift Trawler of similar size.
How can you advertise a yacht like this and nowhere specify engine hours for primary wing and genset
If you bothered to follow the link to the broker’s website you will find this out. Do you need to be be spoon fed this information? Are you serious about buying this motor yacht? Stop wingeing and make an effort.
Bonedock: Good question, one I am asked often. Videos stay up for a long time. The hours will certainly change and the price may change. In the description of each JMYS video we include the website to visit for all details including; hours, brands, models, additional photos, etc. www.JMYS.com
It would be nice if you enabled the credits option, then your non-English speaking viewers could read what you are talking about. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm sorry we have overlooked this and will try to figure it out.
Hey! Didn't you used to be Pail McCartney?
Chris: I am the walrus, no, the Egg man, wait maybe Admiral Halsey? Thank you, I only wish. I enjoy all of Paul’s music and am left-handed thus ends the family resemblance…goo, goo, gee, goo!
@@JeffMerrillYachts 😁
Well...the left handedness plus the haircut. :)
Price?
Ted: We don’t include the price in the video in case it changes. Pricing and listing details are available here: jmys.com/listings/nordhavn-55-enterprise-iii/
1.1 Mil. Decent starting price but if you’re interested be prepared for some major maintenance. It’s one of the better boats/prices out there though
Asking price???
Eagle Web: We don’t include the price in the video in case it changes. Pricing and listing details are available here: nordhavn55forsale.com
a man with a camera does not know how to shoot ... the feeling that he is 1 meter tall, do not trust him with the camera ... spoiled the whole impression of the video ...
Then go back to cnn
Matt: Sorry you got stuck on that, hopefully you can appreciate the production as a whole like most viewers do. I filmed a lot of that myself.
W.O.W.
Lawrence: Thank you!
