$13.5M is an absolute steal! She's more ship than boat. Absolutely beautiful!
Nordhavn is elegant and robust with the chutzpah to redeem itself under any conditions thrown in its way, absolutely superb !
These are the best vessels ever and the 120 we just saw is the best example of of 1 I have seen. The cabin layout was just amazing and the engine room was very comfortable the boats are floating Mansions and Congrads to all who can own one
Well done. As someone who helped rescue the NZ army on ruapehu after cyclone Bola, I appreciate the common sense messaging over safely enjoying the NZ outdoors. One added message. Always tell someone where you're going and expected return time
Thank you for sharing this wonderful vedio, I believe that 13.5 million is a steal for this size and magnificent vessel .
The best yacht I have ever seen for a GREAT price..
Love the interior! All the wood looks great! It’s not too fancy, just very livable
Geeez they let anyone film these yachts 😮
It is definitely worth it I can't believe that they took so long to do a real video on it
Glad you liked it. Covering this boat was totally random and serendipitous. I obviously chose wisely judging by all the viewers who have enjoyed this video. Be sure to check out the "Boating" playlist on my channel for lots more. I also still have a ton of more FLIBS footage to edit as well so he sure to ring that notification bell! Enjoy! 🛥️😎
ANTHONY DAVIS there are a view videos about the Aurora on the channel.
@@Democrazyandfreespeechfirst And many videos of the problems with this yacht
Such a nice boat and fantastic crew
With the problems this boat had since it s launch, it s going to need such a very detailed survey.......
How cool are the hidden maid access doors into the staterooms. Thats superb design.
I love this yacht. I'm surprised it's only 13.5 million.
My kind of yacht .....a go anywhere home from home on the ocean 👏
Thanks nordhavn are beautiful and this one is spectacular
Even if you gave me that ship I couldn't afford to fill it up I would have to row it. Full tank twice across the Atlantic wow stunning ship
What a beautifull boat so large and the prise very good
...bad to the bone. The Quintessential Yacht. We should be building this yacht in the U.s.
Yes please. I accept just the way it is. And I think you. Witt’End. Or Rockwell. I’ll leave that up to you. ❤
That one section in the engine room before the far door, are the tanks. Water, gas etc. and apparently you can take off the hatches to clean or fix something. Inside is a container that holds all the water or gas. So if there’s an issue you can replace the container. Not what they are actually called, in another video the guy doing the review of this yacht was explaining, but he never opened the door at the end and with all the noise going in this video I couldn’t understand what the crew member said was on the other side.
Awesome, thanks!
Magnificent .....
its a beautiful boat blighted by a bad backstory in regards to the original owner.
end of the day who wouldn't want such a beauty to sail literally anywhere, I'd love to sail the seven seas on such a boat
And…. What kind of boat is this. Eh… who makes it? Eh… what size it? Will the owner accept payments?
A view from the UK. $13.5mill and they stick soundproofing on the access door from the crews quarters to the bedroom. 6.27mins in. Did you not ask about this buddy?
Did anyone else notice the name of the boat docked to starboard, "Heavens Gate" and immediately think of that cult from Waco?
Absolutely! (Seen at 1:35.) The cult 👽🛸 as well as the title of the 1980 movie🎬🎥 that was a mega-flop.
Was Waco the heavens gate cult? I thought heavens gate was the creepy white haired old guy. Waco was the Branch Davidians and David Koresh if I remember correctly.
I may be wrong.
Heaven's Gate was in San Diego, California. They were a UFO cult who committed mass suicide, all wearing the same clothes including their infamous Nikes. In a totally separate incident, David Koresh went on to lead the religious-based cult of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. When Federal agents seized the compound, a fire broke out, killing many of the members. This led to a controversy as to who set the fire. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?
That cult was from Rancho Santa Fe, a little community north of San Diego and east of Del Mar.

No I didn’t, but when I
read your comment, it
made me think of the
wacko typing it😜
Great ship. I was ready to pull the trigger and buy one but I just did the math. I could spend a million a year on charters for 13.5 years for the same money, over the 13.5 years it would need probably 2 refits @ 5 million each, that is another 10 years I could charter, figure in the insurance, slip cost and maintenance...the math says I could probably charter a yacht for 25 years and let someone else have all the headaches, while I always enjoy a clean new yacht with crew every year.. I guess I could charter it out but that is an entire new set of headaches.
Steve S But after 25yrs renting you have nothing but memories.....this boat will still be worth a few million. Plus as you say you could charter it out making a fair whack of money back and you would get a yacht management company to look after it for you.
It s a beautiful yacht but no steel hull nor an aluminum structure....it s all made of fiberglass...
Beautiful yacht, but do not think anyone should be looking at Nordhaven after reading the Bob Conconi story and what a cluster PAE is
Awesome
I must have missed something. Why are there two interior bridges?
The fly bridge was enclosed. I think this was done because the original owner was based in the Pacific Northwest.
Tim Hale But why even have the lower bridge if the flybridge is fully enclosed? Seems like a waste of space.
@@CapnCody1622 I think the original plans had it as an open fly bridge. Something you get to choose when you buy a boat for $16 million.
First time look around Aurora
In the front of the boat, “is that the engine room?” LMAO!
He sounded like he's never been on a boat before. XD
@@grondhero
He didn`t even know what brand the boat was when he entered to make a walk-through . . .
Isn't this the boat Nordhavn was sued over?
Russ Hendrix I believe so, just google the law suit, it’s very interesting to see the depositions
Russ Hendrix yes
It was a complaint made by Robert Conconi (Canadian businessman) in 2013. He claimed delays in delivery and poor workmanship.
Two watermakers is a little aggressive. I would prefer one. Needs a sofa in the lounge behind the bridge. Pilot house on the flybridge is sweet.
These boats are specifically designed for redundancy though. Imagine being midway across the Atlantic when your desalinator fails. You'd be grateful for the second one then.
TURN DOWN THE MUSIC.
The boat to starboard the heavens gate is US built. I don’t see am saving much $ nordhaven rather spend my $ on made right here
Typical South African, rush, rush, rush. Pity the sshow round wasnt a bit slower so you can appreciate this wonderful "Ship" yacht. The engineering alone is fantastic. Love nordhavn and in particular this model with I think Hull no.1?
Wow.... If only.....
Nicest crews mess!
am i mistaking or does it seem like it has two fully enclosed pilot house ?
It's not a traditional choice, but the upper 'pilothouse' is just a permanently enclosed flybridge helm. Probably berthed in a location that sees a lot of rain.
Nothing against Nordhavn. Their owner operated boats are some of the best in the market. But at this price level, I would rather go a couple of feet less, but Italian or Dutch. You can see the difference clearly.
It depends where you want to sail. crossing the Pacific in this would be easy, because of its seaworthiness and range. Not all boats at this price level have that ability.
After reading all l just read here on YT l would not touch this boat, bad publicity for Nordhavn it's a wonder they are still in biz.
You could tell the that the person who ordered that yacht is an elderly gentlemen. It looks like my grandmas living room. Doesn’t say anything about Nordhavn. Just about who ordered the boat ....and never accepted delivery.
azschalter older people from van cover
@@MrDrburrows "van cover" 🤣. That's huge! Vancouver, lol, but i love "van cover".
𝙰𝚞to fill lmbo
When these pages of these yaghts that are for sale say "Not for sale to U.S. residents while in U.S. waters", what does that mean?- The yaght has to be in African waters for someone from the U.S. to buy it?
Google "the Jones act" complicates having foreign built boats in US waters
Africa would work but mostly it's done in the Bahamas or Cabo San Lucas or Vancouver.
Brand new $16M? I'm not dissing the Nordhavn brand as the interior is a fine example of top notch craftsmanship and I'm aware of their seaworthyness, but I'm not paying western prices for a boat made in China, at extremely reduced rates of labour. I'd be surprised if those highly skilled cabinetmaker are earning more than $3 an hr? Good businesses acumen my arse, nothing but unadulterated,, exploitive and alarming greed.
It was approximated that the total cost of Aurora is 4.5 million USD,,,,,, go to China and have it delivered in Vietnam or the Philippines, it will cost you much lower not even 10M
@@doodsnagali9935 Thank you for justifying my very poignant rant😉
Lol
"I'm not paying western prices for a boat made in China, at extremely reduced rates of labour"
Really, did you say that when you bought the computer you're typing on too, which was also made in China, along with most things you use in your day to day life.....think before you type!!!
That really is just garbage, because you're comparing their earnings to western standards of living. $3 an hour when cost of living is far less than the USA may be comparable to what an American would be getting in return. A lot of sailing yachts were built in NZ for many years because of the very favourable exchange rate to the USA - same reason a lot of films get made in Australia these days by American production companies - how do you think Tom Hanks picked up Covid? Now do you think Australian or New Zealand employees are slave labour as well, or were they getting paid by local standards?
This boat is overpriced by about $3-4 million. There are several other expedition 120+ foot yachts on the market at a much lower price point. They were all about the same age and had equal or better accommodations.
Why spend half a BILLION with a B on a Giga Yacht when this perfectly big enough beauty is available for 13 million? Pony up folks!
Khu NoPie have you been onboard a 500m yacht? The tenders are 65’ long lol
Uhhhh no.. This dinghy is No comparison to a billion super yacht lol
Zaheer Kader did you read what I said? I never called this boat a dingy... but a 500million dollar boat normally has a tender around 45-65feet long. The tenders are normally 1-3million alone. I’m just saying... this 120’ is nothing compared to a 350’+ yacht.
@@hayesalmand4770 I wasn't talking to you but the original poster who I replied too
Zaheer Kader my apologies!!
A big loss of money in a view short years for the former owner. Now(if so) the vessel is for sale on the market for about €13,5 Millions. Still a nice ship, but not the best feelings to the building company. All the best.
wow the brits still own every thing
It's M/Y Aurora, not "my aurora"......geez
According to the official website and brochure they gave me, it's listed as, "My Aurora." The side of the boat only has "AURORA" and the back has a tiny "MY" above "AURORA."
@@FAD1010 It's still M/Y Aurora. M/Y stands for "Motor Yacht" (as distinguished from S/Y for "Sailing Yacht") and is a ubiquitous naming format across the industry.
@@savnet_sinn Thanks for clarifying and explaining what it stands for.
The crew guy rushed threw this beautiful boat smh
😉through*
Change the loos to Incinerator loos,and i'll take it.
Nope, made in china doesn't work for me.
Dude doesn’t know anything about the boat. Do your homework!
That is literally a mansion
This is a Chinese made one and it had water entering when it was brand new.
Shouldn't boats of this size built from metal (aluminium or steel), not plastic?
It’s fiberglass. Nordhavn is building a steel boat, though.
all made of fiberglass,,,,,not really an expedition nor an explorer yacht
You don’t know Nordhavns, then.
@@jaybee9269 don t they only make fiberglass boats in all sizes,,,,,,,,
@@cprolland1539 >> Yeah, Nordhavns are GRP hulls…but don’t run down GRP. It doesn’t rust! Nordhavns are solid and neither are steel-hulled boats exactly icebreakers. They are making a steel 148’ boat, though. You have to have sacrificial anodes or an electromagnetic system on a steel boat but I’m not an expert.
This boat has a questionable history with its previous owner Bob Conconi, a wealthy Canadian businessman and philanthropist. PAE in China and Mr Conconi had long battles in legal terms as to the “fit for purpose “ and quality. Dont buy this lemon.
yeah, which he lost. He tried a tax dodge on purchasing it, and when it didn't work went down the 'boat sucks' route to get out of the deal.
yes was involved in a law suit.....I would stay far away from this one for sure
Build in China!!! WHY???
Alfred Melse $
That kinda happens when Government slaps huge taxes and onerous regulations on businesses.
They go overseas. Or they go out of business.
Everything in China is 1/6 the costof US... 6million dollar boat might be 1 million but you have to have someone standing over them constantly.
Built in China no thanks:-!:-!:-!:-!
Michael Lui COUGH COUGH 😷 😂😂😂😂😂
like the computer you're typing the comment on??
Deke1 nope the computer I am typing on is made in Korea Samsung genius:-D:-D
Be aware there was a lawsuit between the purchaser of this boat and Nordhavn. Apparently Nordhavn took the boat back. I read the inspection report by Steve D'Antonio in 2013. His survey on this boat listed many many significant safety and design problems. D’Antonio’s inspection report found 179 deficiencies with PAE’s work on the Aurora, including critical safety items that could result in the risk of explosion, electrocution, fire, injury, or loss of life.
REALLY?! That's crazy! Nordhavn's are known for being such safe and reliable boats
Nordhavn (PAE) won the lawsuit and also won the appeal. Nordhavn did not take back the boat.
@@timhale4540 Read Steve D'Antonios report with 179 discrepancies to ABYC standards in yacht construction. That is really all that matters.
@@timhale4540 Nordhavn is current brokering the boat for sale for $13.5M.
@@robertfrost1683 Nordhavn has the current listing. Doesn't mean 'they took it back'.
About $7 million overpriced.
Tom Walker how do you make up this? 7 Million overpriced?
Lovely yacht, not impressed with the supervised tour, I think more research must be done before a tour of this ‘gem’ . Up your game, you need an Aquaholic style approach to your vids. Sorry buddy but very disappointed.
Aquaholic is the man! He is a yachting and motorboat journalist by trade, so he really knows his stuff!
Style too old， like 50s/19
