The Best Passagemaker

60 to 70 feet

Nordhavn 63

Nordhavn has earned a reputation for building salty, go-anywhere, bluewater passagemakers. The new 63 extends that tradition, with a larger saloon, an aft pilothouse, and even a watch cabin abaft the pilothouse. A John Deere diesel powers the 63 at a cruising speed of 8 knots, and a top speed of 9.8 knots, with a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles.
