Whether you’re exploring Alaska, New Zealand, the Norwegian fjords, or the Caribbean, Nordhavn yachts are built to go the distance - without sacrificing the comforts of home.
Built for adventure, made for comfort
Nordhavn yachts are purpose-built trawler-style motor yachts, capable of transoceanic passages with minimal fuel stops and maximum autonomy. Their interiors are warm, functional, and generously sized - offering plush salons, full-beam master suites, and practical layouts that work well for families, couples, or adventure-driven charters.
Expect a quiet, stable ride, excellent crew quarters, and an onboard atmosphere that is elegant without being overstated - perfect for immersive travel, diving, fishing, or wildlife cruising.
The Nordhaven Charter Fleet
While many Nordhavns are owner-operated or privately cruised, a growing number of larger models are now available for fully crewed charter, offering an ideal balance of expedition capability and professional hospitality.
Popular Nordhavn models for charter include:
-
Nordhavn 120
The flagship of the fleet, this model offers full superyacht proportions, with up to five guest staterooms, a sky lounge, jacuzzi deck, and range exceeding 4,000 nautical miles. Crewed Nordhavn 120s are ideal for long-range luxury charters in Tahiti, British Columbia, or the Galápagos.
-
Nordhavn 96
A tri-deck explorer with spacious living areas, crew accommodations for up to 5, and a practical, luxurious layout. These yachts are capable of global voyages and are increasingly entering the high-end charter market.
-
Nordhavn 86
With a classic expedition silhouette and full-beam master suite, the 86 is well-suited for adventure charters with all the creature comforts — including stabilizers, tenders, and good toy storage.
-
Nordhavn 76 & 78
These mid-sized expedition yachts often come with three to four cabins and are perfect for smaller group charters in remote islands, Pacific atolls, or polar regions, where endurance and autonomy matter most.
Each crewed Nordhavn charter offers a highly personalized itinerary - often led by experienced captains who’ve completed circumnavigations or significant bluewater passages.
