- SOLD! Congratulations and safe travels to the new owners.
Nordhavn 47 SEABIRD has traveled north to Alaska, spending a couple of years in the Northwest before heading south back to California, on to Mexico and then exploring central America. Cutting through the Panama Canal they ventured through the Caribbean and then used Florida as their stepping off place to sail eastward. SEABIRD crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom. Two glorious years were spent cruising the Mediterranean before shipping back to the US as on deck cargo aboard a freighter due to other commitments. A veteran of four different summer trips to Alaska and extensive cruising that included ocean passages, island hopping and exploring remote coves and isolated shores. She eventually meandered back to their home port of Santa Barbara, an appropriate and special home for this wonderful trawler. Since 2012, SEABIRD has enjoyed a more coastal lifestyle with many adventures along the US west coast, the California Channel Islands becoming the preferred location to get away. SEABIRD has travelled more than 40,000 miles.

SEABIRD is hull number 50 of this incredibly popular design. She is a 2007 model year, commissioned for delivery and handed over for first use in 2008. The most commonly desired features for a 47 are: flybridge with fiberglass stack and crane and two-stateroom, two-head interior layout. SEABIRD has these popular features and much more.
The international appeal of this, “the largest small Nordhavn”, found a growing market in Europe and Australia. The owners of SEABIRD used their own sailing offshore experiences and intelligent observations of how other 47’s were outfitted to order a spectacular package which has served them well. The Nordhavn 47 was continually improved during her production years and SEABIRD is the beneficiary of those sister ships who preceded her. It is not easy to compare 47’s from different model years because of the number of choices, changes and refinements.
She is one of the last five to be built and delivered in the U.S. and the 47 was eventually morphed into the Nordhavn 52 starting with hull 60. Significant improvements developed over the first few years of production include the following; 24V electrical, full size watch berth in the pilothouse, opening hatch in the master stateroom; and availability of the best equipment selections such as a Steelhead crane, improved Northern Lights generator panels, Lugger wing engine, fiberglass stack enclosure for the dry stack exhaust, saloon flat screen television lift and ABT TRAC active fin stabilizers - all important additions that simply were not available on earlier hulls. She also has SidePower electric bow and stern thrusters for safe and sure arrival in any marina. With her Village Marine 600 GPD water maker, generator and air conditioning, abundant storage for provisions and Sub-Zero refrigeration and freezers you can anchor remotely and enjoy life away from civilization for extended periods of time.
SEABIRD has served well as an ocean crossing, long range cruising platform. PAE, the builder, evolved the Nordhavn 47 into the Nordhavn 52 model (for hundreds of thousands of dollars more in cost) and made standard the flybridge, fiberglass stack and crane - just like SEABIRD. One of the last of the 47’s she is a testament to her build quality and Nordhavn pedigree.

Excellent comentry, specialist knowledge & experience and graphics!!
Mr Grey: Thank you, the real expertise is in designing and building the boats, I have the easy job of sharing how great they are!
Jeff, the graphic in the upper right that shows where you are on the boat is a very helpful addition to the video.
Great information added. Definitely value added.
Andrew: Thank you, we have been doing that for the last couple of listing videos, glad you like it! Thanks for your note!
@@JeffMerrillYachts I agree. That is a good touch. As Andrew said, "Definitely value added."
@@Big.Ron1 Thank you Ron, it's one more step in the process to get those numbers (and translate to metric) but we feel it does make it a more complete review
That’s a clean boat for the amount of hours.. your also a great salesman on camera, you come across very natural..
Hello: Hello! Thank you, been doing this for some time and it gets easier every time, always trying to make them better and appreciate your note!
Well filmed and edited video. Love that you shot all of this underway.
James: Thank you, it seems to give a better overall feel to the boat.
This is my favorite Nordhavn, the 47. Beautiful boat.
C ber: The 47 is known as the largest small Nordhavn for good reason. She is really an ideal size for a couple to take anywhere and SEABIRD ordered most if not all of the best options. Thanks for your note.
Great boat! And as allways - great walk-through! Thank's.
Peter: Thank you for watching and your nice comment!
Great job as always! Thanks Jeff! 😎👍⚓
Captain Rick: Thank you very much!
Love that boat, and very excellent presentation!
James: Thank you for watching and your nice comment!
Great walkabout and very informative too!
Terry: Thanks very much for you kind note and for watching!
Great looking vessel! We're watching this market closely as in about 3 to 5 years this is exactly the kind of boat we're looking to spend a few years on post-retirement.
Thanks for another great tour...
Martin: Thanks for watching and commenting. You are wise to start researching and thinking now. The time flies by and it's a big purchase when you are ready to write that check - best to be well informed. Please stay tuned and feel free to direct connect via phone or email if you want to chat, I'm very used to clients taking years to make the right decision, it's a fun process, certainly not an impulse purchase!
Jeff, your tours used to suck, but you stuck it out and you improved your craft and presentation over the years. I now look forward to your tours, and not only that, but you continue to get better over time. KUDOs , Brother - on a job well done! :)
On with the tour. lol
Excellent job. "Nothing but the facts ma'am"!!! Not one stammer, moved along at a quick pace without any rushing. covered everything... Absolutely perfect tour.
Jeff, I am impressed. I would buy a boat from you any day of the week without hesitation. Professionalism at it's finest. It was like watching the kid that used to cut your grass negotiate his 1st big contract with the local country club to maintain their entire property for the next 10 years. :)
Barking Dog: Thank you! Fun message to read. I started doing videos 8 years ago (hard to imagine and have learned a lot). My mom was watching one the other day and turned to my son Jonn and asked, "How does he memorize all of those lines?" to which Jonn replied, "He just wings it!" For me it's just easier to speak from experience and talk from the heart. My video editor is amazing and we have created a great understanding on what to do and how it works. Love the analogy of going from front yards to country clubs, very funny comment to read with my first cup of coffee. Thanks again!
@@JeffMerrillYachts Fully agreed with barking dog. Your fast paced giving facts and details along with the slowly panning camera gives one the best chance at understanding this particular boat. Well done. For me, if I needed more detail, there is no limit on rewinding and pausing! Beautiful well equipped boat.
How does an existing owner convey the shape of the engine with 7k hours? Are there oil sample analysis results from the last few changes? Anything else? (I've owned several Beechcraft aircraft, so curious.)
@@olbuck Thank you very much. It is definitely a process to figure out how to present an area, determine what footage is needed and then put it all together, thanks for you kind note. The hours are in line with other Nordhavns (these boats travel). The buyer should have a hull surveyor and a diesel mechanic for inspections. Maintenance records are also very helpful and the current owner knows aircraft so he's on it.
Great tour. You are excellent at your craft. Such a beautiful vessel.
Panacea: Thank you for your kind remark, it is fun to share a boat as nice as SEABIRD. Was just aboard this week, the sellers have continued to keep her in a tidy and clean presentation.
I look forward to these - I learn something new every video
Joe: Thanks appreciate that feedback, there is always something new to learn, isn't there?
Beautiful vessel well appointed and presented. and subscribed
Peter: Thank you very much! Glad to have you aboard and hope you enjoy the ride!
That’s an amazing boat love your videos
U101: Thank you very much!
This is one of the best videos I have seen. I don't need another boat. But this video wants me to buy another. Thank you.
Harold: Thank you for your kind comment. Glad it got your juices reawakened. Cheers!
Great tour of this 47. Like the new graphics.
Roy: Thank you for your nice note!
Great video and the boat looks great.
CK: Thanks for watching and I agree, she really is a good looking boat.
Awsome presentation and a very cool shirt!
Bruce: Thank you, I think this might be the first time someone has ever complemented me on one of my Reyn Spooner aloha shirts!
Haha, fog is perfect background for shooting the exterior of a boat like this. Nice.
Roger Wilco: We picked the day, not the weather. It does look like fog, but it is smoke mingled with the marine layer. This was filmed in August during an episode of terrible California fires. Wasn't sure how it would look when done, but we rolled tape. Over and out!
Excellent video.
Drewmorg: Thank you very much for your kind note!
Wow, she’s a beauty and your video presentation per the excel-lance.
FMTFXE22: Thank you, she is a great boat and appreciate the compliment!
She looks great Jeff! -Nick
Nick: Thank you!
awesome graphic with the boat
Thank you!
Jeff, you obviously know your boats and you will be on my short list of trusted brokers when time comes to upgrade. BTW this Nordhavn is an amazing boat, as far as seakeeping and on board equipment I can't imagine anything else anybody would need. In about 30 seconds I'm becoming your newest subscriber.
Bob P: Thank you very much. I have been around boats my whole life (sailor to start) and been in the Trawler Realm for over two decades, if I didn't learn something in all of that time I'd be washed out. Nordhavn builds an incredible boat. SEABIRD has all of the essentials. Thanks for subscribing!
Great Greed Screen work with this boat
Peter: Thank you.
I really like this 47.
FMF: Thanks, she really ordered all of the best equipment and layout options, not much to improve on, and the best part is that she has gone to the places that these owners wanted to taker her (and they made it back //:0)
Impressed. 😄.
Alcylon: Thank you!
Jeff, I love yours videos. You are the best.
Wander N: Thank you, I like doing them and you are only encouraging me //:0)
Nice walkthrough, although it looks like Seabird needs some interior TLC...
lilricky: Thanks for enjoying the video. Hard to keep a boat of this vintage looking brand new, haven't been on a trawler that couldn't use a little TLC, fair point!
At 6,000 hours she’ll need TLC everywhere...
@@br5498 Tony, every boat needs it, some get more than others. There is a lot to look after, but when this is your ride, you make sure it's all working, and carry the spares and tools. Thanks for your note!
@@br5498 6,000 hours is a lot, but isn't how much you think. These are big diesels without turbo chargers. I have seen them go 14k hours in some instances.
@@blewyd I know I’ve seen it too, I had 454,s go over 3000 hrs and still push a 32,000 lb boat 23 knots at 4400 rpm but I knew their history. At 6,000 hrs and not knowing historical data I’m asking for price adjustment
Love it
English: Thank you!
Thank you very much for showing the dimensions, especially the headroom, that is very helpful to me. Unfortunately I can't stand in the Master stateroom :( such is life. Great presentation Jeff.
Astrodiver: Thanks for watching and for your positive report. The Nordhavn brand believes in tall headroom, I guess you will have to stay forward, it's 7'7" in the guest cabin!
@@JeffMerrillYachts I'm only 6'6" but we do have a 7 footer in the family, we'll put him up front.
@@astrodiver1 He will be able to stand up, but his feet might extend over the bed when sleeping!
@@JeffMerrillYachts ehh.., he's used to it.
Lovely boat and a great tour
Glen R: Thank you for your nice note!
Subscribed.
Todd: Thank you!
Nice boat
Ray! Thank you!
Clean engine room given the hours on the engine!
Mark: Thank you for seeing that. With over 6,700 hours you can imagine that a lot of energy has gone through that room and the cleaner you keep them, the easier it is to notice if anything changes and stay ahead of the game!
Our 12-15 year plan is to be on something very similar to this, full-time. This is damn close to my ideal.
Bracketracer: Smart to begin planning now, you have plenty of time to evaluate and compare and, who knows, maybe SEABIRD will be available again then? Thanks for watching!
@@JeffMerrillYachts I follow a few couples on Nordhavns to get a feel for life on one. Freedom and Dirona primarily. Freedom *might* be a little tight for us, and Dirona a bit too much boat for us, so this looks to be the sweet spot. Also watched the Granuaile shakedown, which would make our eventual move from an express into one of these a lot smoother.
But yes, I'm very patient. One of the cars I bought many years ago was one that I had an eye on for about 5 years before getting the chance to buy it.
Price a bit hefty concidering all the refit that needs to be done. But otherwise a beautiful boat. And appears to be in good condition given the hours/usage.
And used prices have jumped dramatically this year.
Wayne: The market is different now, there are more buyers than boats and the sellers have come up with an asking price number that they are comfortable with (they have been approached before, but were never ready to sell). Time and the market will show what is fair. You could hop aboard and take off right now, or you could wait and upgrade everything. All of the original selections are solid, just depends on what the buyer is looking for in condition and equipment. Thanks for your note.
Lekker man lekker
Gerhard: Thank you!
Wery Nice boad 👍🏻❤
Thank you!
Beautiful boat. I really wish there was a new 475 in the US, to be able to compare the old 47 to the new 475.
Greg: My understanding is that the 475 is based on the 43 hull, I could be wrong, but I believe a 43 vs 47 comparison would be closer. I don't think many 475's have been completed, the China tariff likely a huge influence.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Definitely the China tariffs. I was looking at a 62, and speaking with a Nordhavn rep. As I said to him, i love the lines of the 475; the 41 and 51 out of Turkey just don't have the same lines as other Nordhavns. Personal choice, for me, anyway.
This looks to be a great boat. It appears to have great bones. Perhaps a few upgrades, meaning modern electronics and full service and she will be ready to go. Hmmm.
Ron: She is a great boat and like her sister ships does have great bones. Nav Com is always something you can upgrade, she has all of the good stuff, there is always room for improvement on every boat. Thanks for your note!
Gorgeous boat with your usual well-paced, casual yet informative presentation. What does it mean for expected time before overhaul as you approach 7K hours on this engine? Another couple thousand or more?
Motorv8N: Thank you. That Lugger diesel is a 30,000 hour plus machine. Good maintenance and regular service and it is a very long term, continuous duty engine.
Is there some drag from the wing engine shaft and propeller(we called them screws in the USN)? Good presentation btw.
Brows: The wing engine shaft and strut create minimal drag. The "screw" is a feathering propeller (3 blade) to minimize profile when not spinning. Thanks for watching and for your nice note!
👍mi piace bella camicia jeff
Nicola: Thank you //:0)
Very nice walk thru. I am wanting to get one in a year 1/2
Mike: The Nordhavn 47 is a great trawler. Hopefully by that time frame there will be more available. Thank you for watching and feel free to visit JMYS.com and/or send an email. Happy New Year!
This is a cool boat ! Some of the boats you tour are not. However, Your videos are always Top Notch, especially compared to some of the other brokers videos.
Thank you for your note, the Nordhavn 47 is a great trawler. Everyone has different preferences, thanks for staying tuned
@@JeffMerrillYachtsотличный пароход, но две каюты с двуспальными кроватями, неправильно. Сужает варианты использования данного парохода.
Thanks for presentation but it seems before owning this beauty i think need to get very serious training for running the boat successfully and learning all mechanic systems since the electrical side is a bit complicated 😂
Osmos: You will need some training and experience to get insurance. With limited knowledge of systems, rules of road, weather, diesel engines, etc. you are a larger risk. There are captain’s classes, and training captains who can help you learn. Many learn by doing!
Wonderful job on the video. If and when I sell my boat I would want you to sell it. On another note: How much was this boat new?
ChrisCook: Thank you for your nice comment. I enjoy doing the videos, they take a lot of effort, but the end product is a success if I'm getting notes like yours, thanks!
Good video, but I wish there were some specs like speed and mpg. Etc,!,
GrumpyDwarf: Please go to JMYS.com for detailed specifications and general RPM, speed and range numbers.
As always a great presentation. I’m working each month to grow my savings goal, SOMEDAY Lord willing you’ll be getting a call from me
Ystebad: Thank you for your nice note. This is not an impulse purchase, most buyers have been planning to buy a trawler like a Nordhavn 47 for several years, keep saving!
nordhavn 47 （ great ）
Alok: Thank you
is this still available / is it in santa barbara / does it come with a slip / if so, what is the price and location of the slip? thank you.
Jeff: The 47 and slip are both for sale, but separately. Please email me directly Jeff@JMYS.com if you are interested in details about the price and location of slip. The price for SEABIRD is posted on JMYS.com.
Great presentation. But 6000 hours on a predominately one engine boat is concerning.
Allen: Good point, but the reality is these Lugger engines are continuous duty rated and will last 30,000 hours before a major overhaul if you look after them. For comparison sake, this is about 525 hours running a year, under 22 days and in my experience an active boat is usually more reliable than one that sits around as a marina queen. The single engine owners typically take great care since they do have on primary and many of the Nordhavns are equipped with a wing engine for back up propulsion. Thanks for you note!
Does a captain run or how often does one run the wing engine?
Eric: Wing should be kept fresh and started when you depart or return to the dock. This boat is owner operated.
Ellen gift one surprise 😍
John: Thank you.
I'm looking for #59.....just a great trawler......
Woody: The Nordhavn 47 is a great trawler
@@JeffMerrillYachts Hey Jeff, actually - you're sales videos are the best. It helped me a lot to make a decision now.
The N47#59 is in IT/Bari......the survey is finished...you may have seen her at Nordhavn Europe Brokerage page....
Its the only one on the market (with VAT paid in the EU....).
@@woody1851 Woody: All right, congratulations! You are in for the time of your life. Thanks for your note and please get in touch by email - my address is Jeff@JMYS.com
850k ? Hope the owners are ready to drop the price for the upgrades she needs
And the cleaning.
Tony: Asking price is a starting point for seller and buyers. In this economy and for this model, there are no other alternatives available. Time will tell if the price is high (funny, how they are never too low), and you could spend a fortune upgrading and waiting at the dock (on this or almost any boat) or hop aboard and go for a long run on SEABIRD. It all depends upon your experience and familiarity. Surveyors always find things the owners overlooked. I have never seen a "turn key boat" that didn't need something and there is no such thing as "flawless" as so often claimed. If you are interested I welcome your visit.
@@bravejango12 Brave: They had a cleaning crew come up before the video, we worked with what we had. The CA fires didn't help...
Funny enough it took a while to find the listing price, but I had guessed $800K knowing the pedigree and also factoring the age.
@@Clickumentary Good guess. We don't put the price on the video because over time it could change and we can't re-record. But we do try to provide a very thorough listing write up with photos, etc. Thanks for your note!
845,000' if anyone wants to know
Rob: Correct, that is the current price. We reduced the price a few weeks ago. For this reason (potential price changes) we don't publish the price on the video.
I lasted 30 seconds then I had to close the video due to the music, it added nothing to the video.
ChunkyMonkey - I like your ice cream flavor at Ben and Jerry's. Sorry you don't like the music, first complaint, everyone has different tastes. We have just uploaded a 360 degree virtual tour on JMYS.com (warning it has music) but maybe you will be able to watch that one?
Nice but for ocean crossing I'd say the captain would like to see 10 extra feet aft .if I were the captain I know I'd like to see the extra length..it's just a little stubby to me that's all...
Frank : The beauty is you can always spend more and go bigger, but you really don’t need to. All you really need is aboard this 47 foot package. They build a longer version, the 52 - same hull mold and the extra length is in the aft deck (cockpit)
Why is everything Nordhavn yacht pitches when when it cruises?
Waleed: All boats pitch. The stabilizers will reduce side to side rolling, but the up and down is just as much a factor of sea conditions and speed.
@@JeffMerrillYachts thanks Jeff
I love watching your videos, very informative..
@@waleedbangash4859 Thank you, more videos in the works.
Where would the captain and crew sleep
Donald: This is an owner -operator trawler. There are two staterooms and a watch berth in the Pilothouse. The owner is the captain on this and every other Nordhavn 47 I can think of.
Do you drive or pilot a boat?
Simon: Technically you pilot, but drive is used interchangeably by many mariners.
I wonder what the cost is for this boat
Me too!👍 Just checked...it's 850k us dollars. Not bad! This brand is the real deal! I think it yours for 800k!👍
Terry: Current price is $850,000. We don't put the price in the video in case it changes over time.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Thank you I like that how many hours on the engines and generators
@@JeffMerrillYachts
Very reasonable! A lot of ship for 850.👍
@@deepwaterescue4u Under the video there is a description which includes a link to the listing. All information is there
$850,000.00 USD
Tnmyp: Roger!
@Conan Thank you Conan, it's a different market right now and it is getting harder to find a late model Nordhavn 47 with these selections.
How come they never tell you what it costs.....
Peter: Price is always available on our website www.JMYS.com. We don't put the price on the video because it is possible it will change and that would be confusing.
Probably one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" kind of things lol.
@@TheJeep1286 Nope. It's a price can change over time, but we can't update the video so we publish current details on www.JMYS.com as we say at the end of the video. Thank you!

@@TheJeep1286 if I have to ask it's because I want to know the price , no open cheque book here , not stupid
As soon as you purchas this motor yacht, she will be high and dry. Engine overhaul 6000hr rebuild it
John: Please email me directly, Jeff@JMYS.com to discuss Lugger engine hours. I think you must be thinking of some other engine. Thanks for your comment, but this engine is just broken in, not in need of an overhaul.
Lugger and John Deere Diesels in trawlers can go to the 20k hour mark before an overhaul and I would not be surprised if some went longer.
@@1202burton You are correct!
They crossed the Atlantic on 1400 Gallons of fuel? That's impressive. The Lugger on SEABIRD must be a fantastic fuel sipping dream. 5 knots gets it done it seems.
Fred: That was not a non-stop. I'll have to check with the owners, but I believe they went to Bermuda, then the Azores along the way.
@@JeffMerrillYachts I forgot about Bermuda.
I believe you can use supplemental fuel bladders.
@@wayneparke554 Agree, many boats that have the range do “hedge” their comfort for a long trip by adding fuel bladders.
$850k for 2007, Mmmm, no quite. Certainly on the high side.
Yes but now that Mr Trump has COVID it’s likely the prices will come down.
Raider X: If you are a buyer, I think you need to look at model year, engine hours, asking price and then balance that with equipment, condition, location and number of boats that you are interested that are appealing. We have had a lot of interest in SEABIRD, and only one person is going to be able to sail away on her.
It is build to ocean travel specifications and I think that by it self is worth alot. A 2000 grand banks 42 will set you back 350k and this is larger, newer, and is safer for ocean travel
@@thenormalplatypus3514 Hi Victor, thanks for weighing in. There are different boats for different purposes and if you want to cross oceans there are not many choices. The Nordhavn 47 is an excellent trawler, you can buy one for less (if you can find one) but you will always be adding upgrades and the end price will be a lot more than the price you agree to to put her under contract.
Nice boat but need allot of small touches here and there, for that price I would assume the owner took notice .. It will require at least 30K+ to get it in good shape with the right people .. Expect delay on selling ..
NR: Under contract and buyers are realistic about what they need to do to make it theirs if we do complete the deal. In this market not too many delays…
Jesus that leather on the rear lounge and behind the wheelhouse is either very very dirty or just plain worn out...im thinking more worn out. Needs completely reupholstered
Beautiful boat. But I agree, most of the leather upholstery seems shot.
Peter: It's been well used and is clean, but tired. The new owner can select whatever type of upholstery and select the color of their choice. If that is your only objection I'd figure out a way to bridge that gap! Thanks for watching.
For a boat like this, reupholstering isn't much money or work. It's typical for a Nordhavn to have some spots like seats be worn out as they are hard so often and aren't just dock queens
Not the most complete tour.
Mark: What did I miss?
Oh my God! this shirt must be very expensive to be worth wearing 🤔🙄
Andrew: My favorite brand, Reyn Spooner and very affordable, comfortable and practical. If you watch my videos, you will see all of my favorites, but the star of the show is always the boat.
I wish I had free $850 000.
Misha: It's only money...!
Lovey boat but I would never buy from a salesman wearing a shirt like that.
TrailerPark: Good one, not a problem, there are plenty of great yacht brokers out there who don't know about Reyn Spooner. I, for one, will wear nothing but Reyn, they are the best! Cheers, Jeff
@@JeffMerrillYachts Good middle finger :)
Really dislike the inefficient and wasteful design. You have a small almost comical wheelhouse and a huge empty foredeck. I prefer something like the outer reef.
Terry: OuterReef builds a great boat, there is something for everyone. Nordhavn has built over 50 of the 47's so they have found people who like what they offer.
I like the boat, but looking at it it is clearly a 13 year old boat that has seen some use. I think it is priced the way it is because of the market not because it's actually worth it. It's a Shame really.
P.S. That shirt really is a crime against humanity.
Phil: You are full of compliments today. The seller sets the price and the market responds. Sorry that we don't share the same fashion sense, I think you are missing out.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Listen ye not to the sayers of "Nay", for thy shirt doth please the masses greatly, and the price of the Nordhavn fair and just in our eyes, for quality and reliability possess great value.
And with that silliness out of my system...Jeff, you're a class act for taking the unjustified negative comments with such grace and dignity. LOVE your videos, and I really hope that someday I'll have the means to be another of your very satisfied customers. Keep up the good work...and keep the fashion sense just as it is, brother!! 😁😁😁
Forget Nordhavn. Poor design. Ugly.
Get a Kadey-Krogen instead.
Harrison, surprised you would say that. I think both companies build a great boat and have different attractions. How have you been?
@Medical Cannabis They are two great brands, some unique advantages to each. Important to do your homework before you write a check. I'm not biased at all, I am impressed with both builders. Thanks for your note!
I own a Krogen 39 and I’m seriously considering g selling and moving to something like the boat in this video, yes Krogen seem to be more classically styled , Nordhaven in my opinion have more modern styling elements, neither is bad, it’s different strokes for different folks.
With an 8 yo and another daughter on the way I really need a 2 cabin layout. The Krogen 39 while a great boat, it’s a bit small for a family of 4
@@geoffreytofte4049 Thanks for your note, yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the ocean doesn't care what type of hull form is crossing.
