Nordhavn 43

Serenity was commissioned in the Spring of 2007 and she has taken her original owners north to Alaska and south to Mexico. She is berthed  in Anacortes, Washington and is available for inspection by appointment.in keeping with her primary mission as a passage maker, she has no flybridge, keeping her wind profile low, a feature valued by her owner who have many years experience commercial fishing in Alaska.  She has been beautiful maintained and is completely ready to take her new owners wherever they may wish to go. She is outfitted with many features that make her perfect for a cruising couple.  She is one of the few 43s with an extended swim step complete with staples for ease of loading or unloading a tender or kayak.  In addition to Trac stabilizers – which allow you to leave items on the counter without fear – she has a flopper stopper for anchoring. She has a water maker, extra batteries, and LED lights. The boat deck is equipped with a unique sun shade and dingy rack that swings out o the way, making the boat deck an additional entertainment area.  The deployment of the dingy is done using a Steelhead crane and does not require removal of the sun shade. The boat has been continually upgraded and preventive maintenance performed.  For example, just over the past year, the owners have replaced the stabilizer pistons, the water maker membranes, the carpets, upgraded the alternator to 165 amps, replaced the master head with upgraded Dometic model, painted the bottom and replaced zincs.

INTERIOR TOUR OF THE BOAT

upholstery in the salon and pilothouse was upgraded to ‘ultraleather ‘

granite.  All windows and doors have screening.  Most of the interior

lights have been replaced with LEDs.  Extra railings have been

installed on the stairways and overhead in the salon and pilothouse for

safety.  Both staterooms have custom mattresses and Dometic fresh

water flush electric heads.

EXTERIOR TOUR OF THE BOAT

Swimstep, Cockpit and Lazarette

Serenity has been upgraded with a generous extended swimstep

complete with moveable staples that has totally changed the

functionality of this area for getting on and off tenders, kayaks, and

paddle boards as well as for fishing and swimming.  At night blue

underwater lights provide a splendid show, especially in clear water.

The Cockpit has high freeboard and overhead protection.  A mesh

sunscreen can be hung from the boat deck to provide additional shade if

needed.  A custom stainless steel coat rack provide a handy place for

raingear or swimsuits.  Doors lead to the dock off each side and to the

swimstep in the stern. There is hot and cold water for showers, a fresh

water washdown and storage.  Large LED lights provide excellent

security. Access to the large lazarette is from the cockpit.

The lazarette houses the inverter, water maker, hot water tank, pressure

water pump and batteries but still has generous room for other storage. 

The inverter was upgraded to 3000 watt Magnum model.  The house

battery bank was increased to 1200 AMP hour AGM batteries and all

were replaced in 2012.  The water maker is a 400 gpd Village Marine.

The membranes were replaced in 2014.

There's plenty of room in the cockpit for a couple of chairs and table to

enjoy the early morning sunrise coffee or the evening sunset cocktails!

stack, a Steelhead 1000 lb crane,.  Flexlboat SR- 10 foot dingy with a 15

hp Honda motor, wheels. anchor line and sunbrella cover, and unique

sunshade support and dingy cradle.  The sunshade support

accommodates a large cover, and the dingy cradle swings out of the way

so as to clear the entire boat deck for group activities.  The dingy can be

deployed without removing the sunshade. There are two stainless steel

dock fender holders on the port side and on each side there are

kayak/paddle board supports.  A Forespar boom on the port side can be
