This 2013 Nordhavn 68 is a fully custom expedition motor yacht built to CE-marked standards with Australian 230V/50Hz electrical specification. Powered by a 425-hp John Deere main engine paired with a 135-hp John Deere wing engine, she cruises at 8 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots. The fiberglass hull and cored superstructure are 20.58 meters long with a 6.17-meter beam. A comprehensive set of systems supports extended passages: dual 27.5-kW and 11-kW generators, triple Victron Quattro inverters, dual 600-GPD watermakers, fuel decontaminators on main and both auxiliary engines, ABT-TRAC stabilizers, and proportional bow and stern thrusters.
The interior was designed by architect Scott Cole and finished throughout in satin-stained mahogany, white Statuario and black Marquina marble, and stainless steel accents. The saloon features a custom dining table, stone surfaces, and solid teak flooring. The galley is equipped with a full Miele suite including oven, cooktop, and dishwasher. The pilothouse has dual helm chairs with upholstered dash and mother-of-pearl inlay. Three cabins include a forward master with marble surfaces and custom headboard, a starboard VIP cabin, and a port guest cabin. Marble and tile finishes extend throughout all heads.
Deck layout includes walk-around teak side decks, teak Portuguese bridge, and a teak upper aft deck. The FRP flybridge hardtop sits over a sink, refrigerator, and table with stainless pedestal. The cockpit features built-in seating and a teak dining table. Foredeckwork includes a Maxwell windlass, dual Freeman hatches, and washdowns at four locations. Storm plates protect six salon windows. A hydraulic emergency bilge pump and SeaFire fire suppression complete the systems package.
The boat carries 11,871 liters of fuel and 2,548 liters of fresh water, with separate 416-liter black and grey water tanks. An unleaded 40-gallon bowser is mounted on the foredeck for tender and water-toy refueling. Extensive teak throughout, LED lighting upgrades with multiple dimmer zones, and comprehensive stainless hardware define her finish and durability.
