Outfitted to the 'nines' and delivered in 2009, this Nordhavn 55 is far and away the nicest on the market.  Meticulously cared for and with only 707 total hours, it is located in beautiful Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. Configured for global excursions, when compared to a new build you will find it difficult and very expensive to equal.  Built with many upgraded options including a Lugger (John Deere) 340hp diesel engine, Lugger L-984D wing engine, and complete hydraulic system (BAT 250 stabilizers, 25hp bow/stern thrusters, and hydraulic power to windlass). Look for the complete list of upgrades below. 

Global Capability
"With a waterline of slightly more than 50 feet, the Nordhavn 55 has an efficient hull speed of 9.5 knots and under full load conditions, a range of 1500 nautical miles. At 8.25 knots, her range will be 3,000 nautical miles. Its hull form, a refinement of Nordhavn’s MFD (Modified Full Displacement) design, features fuller aft sections that reduce “squatting” when running at higher speeds. Added benefits include reduced pitching motion and increased stability" (Nordhavn website).

Thanks to the feedback of the P.A.E. staff as well as Nordhavn owners who have logged hundreds of thousands of miles offshore, the N55 has been designed to provide maximum comfort underway and while living aboard during extended cruises. The high bow provides extra buoyancy when punching into large head seas, and the higher deck takes on less blue water during rough conditions. The added height provides significantly more volume below the cabin sole. In relationship to the accommodations, the engine, fuel tanks and water tanks are very low, ensuring superior stability. The use of fiberglass fuel tanks adds to the trouble free, long-term service of the boat.Of special note, the tanks have human-sized inspection plates and because the baffles are removable, a service technician can actually enter the tank and thoroughly clean it of contaminated fuel and algae residue. The Nordhavn 55 shows her serious side in her commercial-like pilothouse. Located amidships for minimal motion at sea, it provides excellent, 360? visibility. A full-sized helm chair puts the captain comfortably in command of his ship, with all electronics and controls within sight and reach. Aft of the helm chair, an L-shaped settee and table, elevated for superior visibility, will seat three to four crewmembers. Beneath the settee are full-sized chart drawers and additional storage. But the most surprising feature of the N55's pilothouse is its private stateroom complete with head and double-sized berth. Perfect for the off-watch crew on long passages, this area will also serve as a private guest stateroom. The Nordhavn 55 has been designed to incorporate a flying bridge as standard. Located directly over the pilothouse, it provides excellent visibility and is the ideal place to run the vessel in fair weather. With a waterline of slightly more than 50-feet, the Nordhavn 55 has an efficient hull speed of 9.5 knots and under full load conditions, a range of 1500 nautical miles. At 8.25 knots, her range will be 3,000 nautical miles.
