Nordhavn Explorer Yacht [LACEY KAY]

[@MrCrystalcranium]

If I was going to take my precious family on a transatlantic cruise from Miami to Nice, this is the boat we would be on. Safe, bulletproof and luxurious. There are some below criticizing its utilitarian looks. I don't know how much more pampered you could be sitting in the salon or waking up in your bridge deck master to a cup of coffee outside watching the scenery disappearing behind you. This boat is flawless.

[@DenisonYachting]

Couldn't agree more. Appreciate the comment!

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

I agree, and if you don't like the decor and could afford this boat, then change the decor. For me this boat is near perfect.

[@growlkitty]

I agree... great range, reliable, relatively low maintenance... but it's ugly. These are the ugliest yachts on the market! It's like they make them ugly on purpose or something? Why can't they make it like the Benetti B.Yond 37?! The B.Yond 37 by Benetti is everything this vessel is except it's easy on the eyes! This thing looks like a tug boat.

[@grondhero]

@@growlkitty What's ugly to you looks good to someone else. The fact that you're close-minded about that speaks volumes about you. The Benetti 37 is 25' longer and 2x the cost, so it isn't everything this yacht is.

[@growlkitty]

@@grondhero Voicing my "opinion" doesn't make me close-minded! It's your "opinion" that I am close-minded because I don't share "your" opinion, but it's not by any means a fact. This boat is a Ford Explorer and Benetti's b.yond is a Bentley Bentyaga; I can go get a Ford Explorer right now but I'm not going to. When I can afford to get a Bentley Bentyaga, then I will by an SUV. In fact, I could possibly buy this boat right now, but I wouldn't even if I could; I will wait until I can afford a Benetti. It's a matter of taste and preferences, not a revelation of the state of my mind?! I wholly agree with you that this vessel is practical, economical, reliable, and more than sea-worthy, but it's not pretty, like a Ford Explorer; nobody looks twice at an Explorer!

[@clifbradley]

As someone that grew up working on 'wedding cake' yachts, a Nordhavn was the first yacht that made me love trawler style yachts. I remember seeing a 62' back in the day and someone had asked the owner where he was coming from and he said 'Well we were checking out the whales in Norway in the North Sea'. Here I was on a yacht twice that size amd we had just taken it across the Atlantic but it was miserable. I was amazed this guy took his wife and 2 grandkids plus their mom into the North Sea by Norway on a 62' boat. Tough as nails. I have loved these and Flemings ever since. If you love Nordhavn you've likely seen James Knight of Yacht Tech tell you the good, bad and ugly on them so for this owner to hire a survey in advance says something. But this yacht has gone places. Galapagos, Carribean, Mexico, Panama, Alaska. She's been everywhere. This isn't some fast Heesen, Pershing or Mangusta. These are slow moving tanks that will ensure when you get where you are going, you had enough fuel, food, water and if wanted it, a great time and relaxing sleep. This isn't some 38' sailboat you are roasting on everyday because you don't have AC, as you heat water with your engines to take a hot shower and also heat up your 13th can of soup that week either. They aren't the cheapest way to get there, but they are one of the nicest and more affordable options for true passagemakers just like that 38' sweatbox. Nothing against sailors, but sometimes their sacrifices to weight don't appeal to me at all.

[@DenisonYachting]

Right on Clif! We love em' too! Thanks for sharing :)

[@mesflyer]

LOL. You talk as if most sailors have $10M+ laying around but choose a used 36' sloop to see the world. People make choices within their means. I've heard an equally arrogant statement from an UHNW about how they seriously don't understand why anyone would want to waste breath on a boat less than 150 meters. Our the same folks at a loss about why anyone would fly commercial ( or on a small learjet) rather than a G650. I contrast your comment with the owners of MY Egret that freely admit Nordhavns are nice but say if you don't have Nordhavn money buy a sailboat because they see the exact same places at a slower pace and less cost.

[@dgrock2484]

One of my favorite presenters and easily my favorite yacht makers , this vessel is incredible, a dream boat , the capability, comfort and features is very impressive, if I had the money, this is the one for me, very well done walk through 👌

[@DenisonYachting]

[@samw3695]

Being most curious about the life-afloat lifestyle, I must confess to my imagination being stoked at the perception I believe I see in this vessel being nothing less than a home on the water...with the advantage being on-demand home relocation. Truly, a most enjoyable walk-through. Many thanks, Kurt.

Beautiful book it’s just a little slow I’m 60 years old. I don’t have a year to make it to my destination. You need to make boats with a cruising speed of minimum 12 nautical knots Per hour.

[@tun7166]

Lacey Kay (not just any N96) is the ultimate explorer motor yacht, the smallest and the cheapest one which still has enough range and equipment to safely cross Panama to French Polynesia (the hardest leg in circumnavigation) any season with storm fuel reserve. The only problem is the. owner knows it and for her asking price you can build the same one new. So it I ever can afford it I’ll just go to Nordhavn and tell them “Build me Lacey Kay. Copy all layouts, fuel tanks and the equipment. They’re perfect” :)

why? why do you need a steel hull boat?

[@rasferrastfarian739]

@@vorjay More solid, they don't 'squeek', are much more fire resistant, can stand heavier impacts in emergency situations, Ships are made from steel for a reason! 🙂 Btw, I'm talking Explorer yachts here - coastal/leisure etc different requirements so grp is fine.

[@vorjay]

@@rasferrastfarian739 what ships are made from steel? heavy duty explorers used in the arctic. sure. but most pleasure yachts aren't made from steel. you forgot to add how much more a steel yacht weights.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

@@vorjay All commercial ships are made from steel. I did just say that pleasure yachts are fine being GRP. They need to be lighter to plane along at 30 knts! Explorer yachts are displacement vessels and therefore the heavier they are (within reason) the more stable and pleasant they are when travelling at 8-10 knts.

This boat does not have a 10,000 mile range. She has a range of just over 3,000 with a 10% reserve so your comment about her being able to cross the Pacific isn't true

[@DenisonYachting]

She has a max range of roughly 4,000nm.

[@spacecoasttactical]

@@DenisonYachting That's disingenuous because to reach 4,000 miles you'd have to burn the 10% reserve and no sailor in their right mind would advocate that. In any case, it's not trans Pacific. Nordhav themselves say "maximum cruising range of 3000 nm at 9.5 kn"

[@brokerhc]

@@spacecoasttactical 2,600 miles from San Diego to Hawaii and another 2,500 to Marshall Islands. Same for the rest of an island hopping trip.
