This time the shipyard is planning to build N148 in Europe, which will become the flagship.
The N148 will be groundbreaking, even by Nordhavn measures. The first metal yacht in the history of the Nordhavn product line, this new design pushes the brand to go beyond prior engineering feats and will be built to a greater structural integrity than any other Nordhavn before her. “We’ve talked about building a larger boat for a while now,” said Jim Leishman, Vice President of Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc., which manufactures Nordhavns. “It would be something specifically meant for the most challenging worldwide conditions.” In fact, the Nordhavn 148 is being hailed as the ultimate crossover yacht: a mix of commercial ship and elegant superyacht. more

PAE looked to Vripack, with whom they’ve had a successful partnership on the interior design of the Nordhavn 80, to mentor the project and head up engineering.

As a no-nonsense go-anywhere explorer boat, the Nordhavn 148 possesses the strong Nordhavn DNA and feel, but with Dutch styling. “As a designer, we really were able to be on the cutting edge in terms of how far we could stretch the Nordhavn brand without losing its heritage. It’s a Nordhavn explorer – designed by Vripack – but it remains a Nordhavn nonetheless. Our aim was simply to reimagine it.” here
