BUYING AND SELLING
Dedicated to Every Client—No Matter the Size of the Boat or Budget
So many yacht brokerages – big houses and small independents – are selling Nordhavns these days. For many of these brokers, the job begins and ends with securing listings and selling boats. At Nordhavn Yachts Sales (NYS), our number one priority is servicing a client and delivering the best possible outcome for their specific needs. Whether that means helping a buyer find a brokerage boat, selling an owner’s current boat, or guiding someone through the new build process, the goal of every NYS representative is to earn and build lasting trust.
There’s been some rhetoric suggesting that Nordhavn sales reps are focused only on selling new boats. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It has been stated before and bears repeating emphatically that brokerage sales are a major focus for NYS salespeople. Typically pre-owned boat transactions are more straightforward and close faster than new-build deals. At the end of the day, our only objective is to ensure a buyer is getting the right Nordhavn for them. Our seasoned team of experienced, knowledgeable, and conscientious sales representatives will help each client make the best, most informed boat buying decision – whether that means new or used.
Brokerage Nordhavn Sales: A Record
Start to 2025
If you’ve been following the brokerage market this year, you already know 2025 has been a standout year for pre-owned Nordhavns. Up and down the entire product line, pre-owned Nordhavns have changed hands at a very brisk pace—underscoring both the strength of the market and the enduring appeal of Nordhavn’s unmatched build quality and ocean-going capability.
A glance at the “Sold Nordhavns” page reveals several yachts that never even made it to the public listings. Since the spring, a pair of N80s, an N60, and an N40 – to name a few—have been quietly sold thanks to the strong, trusted relationships between buyers, sellers, and their Nordhavn sales representatives.
As we enter the final quarter of 2025, the Nordhavn Yachts Sales team has successfully closed 22 brokerage transactions, with four more pending survey, sea trial, or final closing. At this pace, 2025 could rival or even surpass the record-setting brokerage sales of 2022, which were propelled by the post-Covid boating boom.
A Dedicated Team Effort
What sets Nordhavn Yachts Sales apart from most other yacht manufacturers is our in-house, team-based approach to client service. Although you may be working with one central broker, behind the scenes is a global network of more than 20 experienced professionals—all collaborating on your behalf.
Unlike many brokerages that spread their efforts across numerous brands, NYS concentrates its expertise primarily on Nordhavns. This singular dedication, combined with deep institutional knowledge, creates a powerful advantage for both buyers and sellers. In fact, 15 members of the 21-person NYS team have been with Nordhavn for over a decade, providing a shared expertise, and a level of camaraderie that can’t be replicated.
Our team meets regularly to discuss listings—both public and off-market—as well as buyer needs and seller goals. It’s not uncommon for brokers from multiple offices to cooperate on a single transaction. This high level of internal coordination ensures maximum exposure for sellers and unrivaled access to opportunities for buyers. At Nordhavn, teamwork isn’t just a philosophy—it’s how we deliver results.
Off-Market Listings: Discretion, Insight, Opportunity
Discerning buyers often have highly specific criteria, and the perfect Nordhavn doesn’t always show up on the MLS. Waiting for the right listing can be a slow and frustrating process—but NYS offers another path.
Often, our brokers uncover opportunities through informal conversations—an owner casually mentioning they’re thinking about moving up in size, or someone anticipating a lifestyle change. These scenarios can lead to swift, smooth transactions before a boat ever hits the open market.
Privacy is another major reason off-market deals are thriving. In today’s highly connected world, some owners prefer to keep the sale of their yacht—and the price—confidential. Whether it’s due to personal preference, business interests, or lifestyle considerations, our clients appreciate the discreet, professional service Nordhavn brokers provide.
The foundation of these transactions is trust. Every NYS broker invests in building strong, long-term relationships with their clients, making off-market opportunities an integral part of our brokerage value.
The Power of Manufacturer Support
When you buy or sell a Nordhavn through our brokerage team, you’re not just working with a sales representative—you’re backed by the full support of the company that designed and built the yacht.
What that means for you:
- Direct Yard Access
Our brokers maintain relationships with the original project managers and shipyards where each Nordhavn was built. - Exclusive Documentation
We keep detailed build records, equipment lists, drawings, and a vast library of construction and outfitting photos for every Nordhavn built—totaling in the hundreds of thousands. - Unmatched Technical Support
This archive enables us to assist owners with unique parts, original tooling, and system troubleshooting—often referencing precise photos of pumps, consoles, through-hulls, and other systems.
Whether buying new or pre-owned, no other yacht brokerage offers this level of support and insight. It’s what makes buying through NYS a fundamentally different—and better—experience.
New Nordhavns: Limited Availability, Exceptional Value
While our new-build schedule is nearly full, we currently have a select few Nordhavns available for purchase—each with attractive delivery dates and, notably, legacy pricing. Every new Nordhavn reflects continuous evolution, incorporating owner feedback and innovative design refinements that make each model better than the last.
Available Builds:
- Nordhavn 41 | Hull #36 – Completion: April 2026
- Nordhavn 51 | Hull #08 – Completion: February 2026
- Nordhavn 47.5 | Hull #51 – Completion: November 2025
- Nordhavn 60 | Hull #86 – Completion: January 2026
- Nordhavn 71 | Hull #06 – Completion: April 2026
Once these builds are sold, future deliveries will follow standard lead times—often stretching years out. With a limited number of late-model Nordhavns available on the brokerage market, these few remaining builds represent a rare opportunity to secure a new yacht with near-term delivery and favorable pricing.
