The N51 is the smallest medel in the new generation of Nordhavns that can give you a feeling of a proper cross-ocean yacht. The N41 is gorgeous but it's just too small that it even doesn't have a pilot house, let alone the laundry room and so on. Adding 10 feet makes a huge difference that N51 just looks like a different kind of boat.
I like it! I watched the owner video from hull #2, and he had a ton of commissioning problems after it was delivered, which made me wonder how normal that was, and if the yard had sorted their quality procedures out.
Thanks for the review, Jack - Love your work! I think this particular Nordhavn N51 is stunning, however, the only thing I'd add is maybe have double helm seats on the flybridge - If Nordhavn has the option to add an extra helm chair, I would seriously consider buying one - perfect for "America's Great Loop" (I'd also want to add a bimini enclosure for the flybridge)
Yet another sensible tour, the kind YachtBuyer is becoming known for. Even with the wide angle lens, it feels a bit cramped as a liveaboard to me. Perhaps they are hoping to compete, layout feature by feather, with 56 or 58 footers. The fly bridge looked overly bright indeed, even via the camera. I'll look forward to how you spec its rivals, Jack. Thanks for the tour!
A 54 or 57 in this new style would be roomier and more ideal to spend a month or two on the water. I think them not adding a cover for the flybridge was a big miss.
That's an incredible boat. Yes, it is over 2 million, but there's a lot of boat for the money. Pretty much the only thing this demo boat is lacking is a MF/HF (GMDSS) on the bridge, other than that I'd be happy to take it over the Atlantic. The other thing that I noticed was that does the N51 have a good spot for the compacted trash? During longer voyages that becomes a problem and larger transatlantic yachts have dedicated freezers for that.
Nor one of your speedy Lady's of the Sea. She a explorer, a Norhaven who moves at the speed that allows you to take in your surroundings. Her exterior is practical with safety in mind. The Flybridge has the greatest view. But the interior is contemporary, stylish light colored wood. Love the master cabin at the front, lots of storage for long term voyages. The salon and galley very family oriented, very sociable space. The guest cabin is not as large but more than adequate, twin or double beds. Engine room, accessable to inspect everything for an owner owed boat. The only thing I'm not keen on is all the white it would be headaches inducing for me. But apart from that I like her.
The problem Nordhavn have is they've consistently & thoroughly spoilt their followers with exquisite luxury finishing both inside & out, which is why the exterior of this offering, with its endless blanketing of white sterile plastic, gives the impression that it's a Nordhavn that's been stripped & looted. The interior was uninspiring too & would definitely benefit from a bit more elbow room on the beam. In conclusion, it looks overpriced.
"designed to clear that away"... yea, every time I see loose furniture on a yacht, I wonder... where in heaven's name are they gonna put it all when underway in not-so-nice weather? Great tour as always :)
Nordhavns are nice but so damn slow. I get it’s a long range yacht but tops out at 11kts… at some point you want to get somewhere. I couldn’t do a 20 hour passage Miami to key west.
You cannot be serious. "Attract at younger public" at the same time the price "FROM TWO point TWO MILLION DOLLARS" show up on the screen. Which young public can pay a tenth of that amount, which also need like a budget of 100 K a year in service costs? What a joke.

Oooh baby, that´s my Nordhavn.....love it

Agreed, they've used the extra space well - Jack
Definitely a Nordhavn, beautiful throughout with nice finishes and a nice layout. Nice tour Jack thank you.
Our pleasure Sean, cheers! - Jack
Beautiful, strong, perfect LRC for an active couple with occasional guests or family of 4.
I like it! I watched the owner video from hull #2, and he had a ton of commissioning problems after it was delivered, which made me wonder how normal that was, and if the yard had sorted their quality procedures out.
Proper little ship. Nice one 👍 ... 🇬🇧
thanks for this one, jack. been waiting for this one.
My pleasure! - J
Thank you very much for this video!
It's our pleasure!

Cheers Craig, I believe both of those are options - Jack
Your videos are not just a spectacle, they are a real journey of knowledge and discovery. Keep up the good work!🎄🦣🏅

Great boat. great review.

It's got a large amount of storage in the lazarette that could probably be put to use for that... - Jack
Thanks Jack! 😅
Cheers Chris!
Could you review the Nordhavn 625?
We’d love to!

The Mercedes air vents in the cockpit are a quirky touch.

Prefer a Bering Nordhavn sometimes too utilitarian it is still well built though but accommodation is poor for a 51ft boat
Top speed is only 11 kn ? well I guess I just won’t able to pick up any women with this particular yacht. Nice walk-through Cheers, Jack.
Slow and steady on this one, Jeff... - Jack

Awanui NZ has a sibling.
The telly is on the wrong side.
Nordhavns are nice but so damn slow. I get it’s a long range yacht but tops out at 11kts… at some point you want to get somewhere. I couldn’t do a 20 hour passage Miami to key west.
The secret in my opinion: it is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class of the yachts.
Not sure how Nordhavn would feel about that one 😅
More like a G-Class with 100bhp 3-cylinder.
Can I get one for Christmas please
Serious chimney at your place? - J
A Nordhavn passage maker without a Portuguese Bridge. Not for me.
Sorry to say this, but...
I am Jack hayens, welcome to Jack ass. 😂 i hear it like 2 years or so....
😄

I mean it literally has attracted a younger buyer, though that buyer probably still isn’t that young…
Love them but they have been in neutral forever. Same old blah with nothing new and the market is saturated with similar modernized versions.
And based on the experience of Awanui NZ about as reliable as a baby’s arse
China crap mucho?🎉
Still a floating plastic
