I'm just a truck driver but I've worked alone for years and driven through all the remote areas in the lower 48 through every blizzard imaginable. Being an owner operator I always had to prepare for ease of maintenance, longevity , and having a platform that was versatile for on Road, Offroad, mountains, cities, etc, etc. Likewise I always enjoyed packing my truck with all the proper tools and necessities to handle equipment breakdowns and or for when I would get sick in the middle of nowhere. Except for getting stuck in some of the remote areas during a blizzard with no cell phone coverage, help is normally just an hour or two away but even though I'll never be able to afford a ship like this I can really appreciate the redundancy and planning that was engineered in building this ship. Also just because I will never be able to afford a ship like this or maybe even just a Lake power boat, I appreciate the opportunity to watch videos like this and I'm excited for those who can afford it and travel the world.....its still fun just to watch!!!
I have a cold as well and just a company driver but have been in some storms etc my self. There are some similarities to driving s big rig and yachting. The trip planning and prepping after home time for the next several weeks out. Making sure I know where I can park this monstrous thing if the 1st and 2nd choices are full up . And I can really appreciate the wind shear difficulties when I have to manage something over 70 ft long in 20 to 40 mile a hour cross wind. If I get lucky with the lottery will be the only way I'll be able to own anything more than a bayliner or pontoon boat .watching these videos is s great ..dream builder for me
As a boater of many years, it is supremely enjoyable to see a ship, this Nordhaven 60, that is designed without compromise to be a no-BS world traveler. Damn, what a dream to be totally autonomous, captain of your adventure, with a ship like this....
About time someone did a meaningful review of the things that really matter. I'm sick to death of people going on about the drapery, cupholders, furniture, It's not an apartment it a friggen boat!!!
Have just started researching trawler yachts. All the other videos are by ‘experts’ trying to sell secondhand trawlers. I was delighted to stumble across this proper review. Congrats to all concerned.
In my mind these are the absolute best vessels for the water. Whether you're just putting around or traveling the world you are safe. I did want a sportfish. I desperately wanted a 42-foot Hattera. As I'm getting older I think the nordhavn is my best choice
I sure wish Nordhavn would hire Capt Steve to do the video “walk-throughs” on ALL of their yachts! So thorough, informative, entertaining and nuanced. Thank you Capt Steve! Time to buy that $3 Mega Millions ticket...
Not a boat ya ever wanna own not at all having a shit diesel engine made by a company that has no customer service at all. J Deere boat engines are total bullshit... Just ask me about it.
@@thekingsilverado9004 I dont think Nordhavn, a company known for creating the best boats would use a crap engine. These are built for crossing oceans which can take weeks.

This is one of my dream boats. The Krogen Express, the Kadey Krogens, as well as a few others. Outer Reef, or the company that made Venture. I forget their name. All great comfortable homes on water. Thank you!
I am a boaty, a Marvel & a Bond fan; this has to be one of my favourite videos of all time! Want to buy, live on board and travel the world because I love the brand and the video footage and commentary were amazing. Inspiring!!
Very nice! Nice on water, one handed docking, pilot house is nice and has table and double bed too. Did not show salon or galley or suites. That is on the "features video" and I was disappointed. Salon very plain, not fancy. Very good fuel usage and 100hp wing engine is more efficient too. 1.5M basic basic cost. Thanks for sharing.
Captain Steve, you blow me away with these reviews.... I hope to meet you someday. Our Yamaha 255 FSH Sport E will be in this week, hope to see a review from you!!
Always liked trawlers more than many in size and class . Long trips require 3 major things , planning , large amounts of fuel and large cold food storage . internet not needed , satellite TV is free , not fast but easy on the fuel burn and sea worthy .
Thanks! Nordhavn did a wonderful job putting her together! We are super happy with how she turned out, we are currently living and cruising full time, to check out some of the places we go and some of the boat we we have to do, head over to our channel 😊 ruclips.net/video/MKvlv9cmbkI/видео.html
Tony & Susan here, Someone left two 2x4 pieces of lumber in the engine compartment. I am Sure that pissed off Jeff. Susan said they may want to add on to the boat.
I am a sailor but getting on in years and would love to change to a motor yacht soon. I admire Nordhavn but the single side deck is a problem. In northern Europe we have large tides and often have to go though locks and tie up alongside walls. You do not always choose what side you are going mooring to, any commercial vessels get first choice. Even an offset second narrow deck would work but I guess you would need to buy a new one to get that. That brings me to my second problem😀.
Building a hull from light polyester and than have to ad ballast, about strength , A steel hull with a kind of ice class is much stronger and no need for ballast .For me the Bering approach is a lot more logical for me, still a great vessel !
Fleming and Nordhavn both make nice boats. Fleming’s do have more power and better performance, but they pay fore the extra power with a higher rate of fuel consumption. Both are nice, just depends on one’s priorities.
Fleming has a totally different purpose. Nordhavn is built to be a work horse whole Fleming is built for long range cruising, but not as long distance as a Nordhavn and be very elegant. Two totally different purposes and totally different boats.
I always enjoy videos from Boattest. What’s bothering me is when he talks about the fuel consumption. How can an engine consume 2.0 gals at 3.7 knots, jump to 12.9 at 4.3 and down to 4.0 gals?
After reading about the N120 debacle I wouldn’t buy a new Nordhavn. They don’t maintain enough capital to finish the boats on order, relying on the deposits for subsequent orders to fund the finishing of your boat. Based on what they found behind that beautiful wood finish on the N120, I would consider a used Nordhavn if the problems had been addressed. The details of the N120 were disappointing to read.
You're absolutely right. There are only so months of the year, and depending on schedule, demand and if the manufacturer wants us to test the boat. For a complete and up-to-date archive of all our test you must check out boattest.com.
I know this has nothing to do with this video but, what is a birth keeper supposed to do? I saw this term used when you guys reviewed the outer reef 700.
The smaller one's emitted frequency is reflected by water vapor and used for clouds/rain detection (weather environment). That water vapor is transparent for bigger one's frequency so it is used for land/ships detection.
Tom Craddock the Fleming 65 does not have as standard the fuel storage for ocean travel. 2000 miles at 8 knots means going via Iceland Greenland Canada into north America as Tony Fleming himself has done many times. I would still have the Fleming over the Nordhavn for the Kudos factor. Just have to plan the trips more carefully.
I believe the NEW price of this yacht is around $1.5 base price. A fully upgraded with Jacuzzi on the boat deck, twin diesels and tons of mechanical upgrades like Nordhavn Jupiter was around $2.5. ruclips.net/video/JPZiZ8E8fRQ/видео.html Used they hold value really well, still you can get a great deal on one. In my opinion the boat will outlast the owner.
Optimistic Future Yes it’s very nice. They posted a walkthrough and sea trial video already. Great boat, perfect size for a lot of people and a super value.
Beautiful! If I were ordering that boat, I would request solar panels be added. It wouldn’t make a huge difference in terms of power supply, but it would be something that’s not created out of petroleum energy.

You should check out Bering Yachts, and this vessel won't look so awesome.

Most reviewers just talk about the interior and that's it is "built pretty well". This one is very informational an is actually used.

Captain Steve is truly the best at what he does. There is no equal.
Ever open one of these videos, and it’s not Captain Steve, and you just close it and go to another?
Captain Steve it’s always impressive watching one of your yacht showings you truly are knowledgeable. Well done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don Drone thank you! :)
In my mind these are the absolute best vessels for the water. Whether you're just putting around or traveling the world you are safe. I did want a sportfish. I desperately wanted a 42-foot Hattera. As I'm getting older I think the nordhavn is my best choice
The back-up systems are so efficient and absolutely mind blowing.
Extremely comprehensive summary. Very professionally done.
What a durable and versatile vessel! Huge fan of the Nordhavn ruggedness.
I've seen a LOT of videos on Nordhavn and this is the first I've seen mention a FLIR system...very nice!
Never gets old I've watched this several times
Love the Nordhavn range, they have one of the best engine bays of any boat I have seen. I have even done a video of my own engine bay.
I sure wish Nordhavn would hire Capt Steve to do the video “walk-throughs” on ALL of their yachts! So thorough, informative, entertaining and nuanced. Thank you Capt Steve! Time to buy that $3 Mega Millions ticket...

My dream boat. One of many! And you're easily the best boat presenter on RUclips.
Thank you for a great, detailed, tour in a discussion-like presentation.
Brilliant and superb review from the best boat channel out there.
Nordhavn is a dream boat for ocean cruising
I am a boaty, a Marvel & a Bond fan; this has to be one of my favourite videos of all time! Want to buy, live on board and travel the world because I love the brand and the video footage and commentary were amazing. Inspiring!!
I just do not see the attention to detail in other boats. Nordhavn is my fav!
Love the way you present a well make yacht. Nordhavn is the best boat for long distant cruising by far.
These people now how to build a great ship. Everything looks perfect. 👍
Very nice! Nice on water, one handed docking, pilot house is nice and has table and double bed too. Did not show salon or galley or suites. That is on the "features video" and I was disappointed.

very nice boat
probably one of the best presentations on the tube
cheers
Thank you!
Amazing review from the best presenter in the business. That's a hell of a boat there.
Let's face it, when you see one of these then you know that the oceans of the entire world can become your 'back garden', so to speak. The only
Nordhavn 40s have crossed the Atlantic and circumnavigated the world...they have the range!

Really excellent review/trial. Lots fo information packed into a small space
Always liked trawlers more than many in size and class . Long trips require 3 major things , planning , large amounts of fuel and large cold food storage . internet not needed , satellite TV is free , not fast but easy on the fuel burn and sea worthy .
This is my dream boat. Beautiful boat!
great boat! great explanations!
This is a really nice boat.
Very informative and detailed. Enjoyed every second of this video. Thanks.
This us the boat I am going to buy in the New Year
Captain Steve...
You mentioned the cherry and ebony wood but forgot to comment on how beautiful it is 😀
Damn near perfect vessel..
@Gary Healer ???
Thanks! Nordhavn did a wonderful job putting her together! We are super happy with how she turned out, we are currently living and cruising full time, to check out some of the places we go and some of the boat we we have to do, head over to our channel 😊

Twin engines is the only way I would say Go on that boat .
Great video,thanks for going into detail 💯👊🏼
Tony & Susan here, Someone left two 2x4 pieces of lumber in the engine compartment. I am Sure that pissed off Jeff. Susan said they may want to add on to the boat.
The way prices of lumber are today, that boat now costs 20% more than asking price ! LOL.
Great video guys
Thank you!
Boat test the best!
Yeah!! Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
Galley and owner living quarters... bugger that and lets go for the technical stuff... 🙂
Great review. Very professional!
Thank you!
So informative 🇦🇺
thinking the fuel charts off on the wing engine...check your mid range calcs…12.9 NMPG…should read 2.9.
I just love Nordhavn and even more CDM out of Italy.
Me Too The Fan On f Nordhavan
buy it
What an absolutely amazing yacht I could easily call it home,fantastic my guess and I'm probably way off 2 million
cliffordb47 2 million would do it base but more likely 2.5-3
Is this boat Encore?
I am a sailor but getting on in years and would love to change to a motor yacht soon. I admire Nordhavn but the single side deck is a problem.

Nice test _ very informative
Very nice boat
My opinion is that Northglenn is the best expedition trawler available
I am amazed it does not have a steel hull. But glad to see a test on the seas.
Wow what a nice ship.
Captain Steve you know your boats --- really nice showing very detailed thank you
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How about the sleeping quarters of the passengers?
Building a hull from light polyester and than have to ad ballast, about strength ,
A steel hull with a kind of ice class is much stronger and no need for ballast .For me the Bering approach is a lot more logical for me, still a great vessel !
That engine room is clean as FUCK
yes chef yeàght energy rim ßóoo chedf wyfe fucking engrimm too get irgeñt
Still like the Fleming , but this is a very nice boat.
Fleming only has 5 ft headroom in the engine room.
Fleming can only go 1600 miles at 8 knots
Fleming and Nordhavn both make nice boats. Fleming’s do have more power and better performance, but they pay fore the extra power with a higher rate of fuel consumption.
Both are nice, just depends on one’s priorities.
@justsomeguy Yet still making nice looking boats than this.
Fleming has a totally different purpose. Nordhavn is built to be a work horse whole Fleming is built for long range cruising, but not as long distance as a Nordhavn and be very elegant. Two totally different purposes and totally different boats.
One in a million vessel that only one in a million can afford !
Really, really nice! Oh, where are the cup holders???? Not A real problem though.
Would have to consider one of these but lean towards the steel built Bering Naval.
Captain Steve! Love your videos! Would this ship be able to complete The Great Loop?
*sorry, I realize this video is a year old
I always enjoy videos from Boattest. What’s bothering me is when he talks about the fuel consumption. How can an engine consume 2.0 gals at 3.7 knots, jump to 12.9 at 4.3 and down to 4.0 gals?
Yes that is strange. I thought it must be a typo.
I am pretty sure the 12.9 is a typo and it is actually 2.9.

If this thing costs more than my 1997 Buick Century (Custom), I can't afford it.
Yes please
How come you haven’t done a show on Bering Yacht 65 ?
now that is a great review, well done ......... you got the thumbs up & Sub from me!
whoah. comments enabled.
How much price this boat & how money peoples can cary tq
How come I don't see any Nordhavn videos from the last 5 years up to this one one? The one I do see is 5 to 10 years old!

My zombie escape boat...In my Dreams 😂
NICE
The Landcruiser of the sea.
I agree. Built to last in the toughest of conditions, and they hold their value very well.
I know this has nothing to do with this video but, what is a birth keeper supposed to do? I saw this term used when you guys reviewed the outer reef 700.
The interior looks like a 1990's Caledonian Macbrayne Car Ferry.
its this weird thing called class and tradition.
The machinery spaces are more liveable than the accommodation.
It lets water out, but not in? Kinda like a reverse _roach motel._
Did i miss something or did they show the cabins ?
danny dee there is another video that shows the interior layout.
ruclips.net/video/wR90fKbmAzE/видео.html
Is it just me or does the boat look like a bit bow tilted when sailing?
now just paint the hull blue, add a flir night vision, remote control docking, seakeeper ?
yes nightvusin adding gud udear
Great presentation.... but a John Deere? I know 2 boats with John Deere power, and both are a headache of problems...

Кайфовая лодка
Not enough headroom, deal killer!!
Tell me only one thing, why it has 2 radar antennas ?) one is more than enough for such boat )
The smaller one's emitted frequency is reflected by water vapor and used for clouds/rain detection (weather environment). That water vapor is transparent for bigger one's frequency so it is used for land/ships detection.
Steve , if you were crossing oceans which boat would you prefer and why... Nordhavn 60 or Fleming 65
Tom Craddock the Fleming 65 does not have as standard the fuel storage for ocean travel. 2000 miles at 8 knots means going via Iceland Greenland Canada into north America as Tony Fleming himself has done many times. I would still have the Fleming over the Nordhavn for the Kudos factor. Just have to plan the trips more carefully.
How big of a wave can it handle and weather?
Only good to a cat 4 hurricane it has 4 seakeepers. Lol
What's the price of this yacht?
I believe the NEW price of this yacht is around $1.5 base price. A fully upgraded with Jacuzzi on the boat deck, twin diesels and tons of mechanical upgrades like Nordhavn Jupiter was around $2.5. ruclips.net/video/JPZiZ8E8fRQ/видео.html Used they hold value really well, still you can get a great deal on one. In my opinion the boat will outlast the owner.
Over The Clouds base is currently about $2mm US
Optimistic Future My pricing is from Nordhavn in email, that’s where I got these numbers. They probably have adjusted higher since then.
Over The Clouds have you seen the new 41’? That’s a slick little package. I think it’s around $750k or so.
Optimistic Future Yes it’s very nice. They posted a walkthrough and sea trial video already. Great boat, perfect size for a lot of people and a super value.
The Dodge Ram of yachts!
It must be junk then
Beautiful! If I were ordering that boat, I would request solar panels be added. It wouldn’t make a huge difference in terms of power supply, but it would be something that’s not created out of petroleum energy.

Encore?
