Nordhavn 86 Delivery - Xiamen to Singapore

The delivery of Nordhavn 86 "Koonoona" from the Nordhavn factory in Xiamen, China to its delivery destination in Singapore.

Beautiful woodwork and interior design once again. Seems like this is a signature of Nordhavn yachts and I love it. No mistaking these interiors for luxury houses or condos. These interiors say luxury marine vessels, period. I can’t imagine how wonderful it must be to own one of these and make plans to go see the world in it. That would be the life alright.

[@rickytimms1851]

What a great story !!!What a GREAT ship and company !!!

[@MyatHtoo]

brings back memories of the sea... I was a merchant seaman... went all over the world!!! miss the sea wind and smell!!!

[@orwellknew9112]

I wish they’d start with a tour of the interior. I really like how their yachts are 4 stories of living space. So much room given the whatever the length. Nordhavn and Bering are my favourite manufacturers based on what I’ve seen. Each company has its own strengths.

[@Baranoeda]

I really like the Nordhavn company in many ways, very nice looking boats, the people in the management seem to be really interrested in what they do, and its a humble company which seem to respect diversities and cultural meetings. Thats what I read out of these great videos!

[@xj1716]

Speaking of cultural check out this video of a profile of a family from Chile: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmXTiHeLebySbNE

I love those Nordhavn delivery documentaries. Can watch them over and over.

[@evan002]

That was great to watch, can't wait to have my own someday

[@adamnagyvarga9552]

[@timhale4540]

Thanks for sharing this great video. Looks like a boat the owners are really going to enjoy.

[@paultremlett5272]

Terrific video and a marvelous boat! Nordhavn vessels are truly great. Would love to own one someday.

[@xj1716]

this one cool too... I never knew that chili was so beautiful this is a profile of some owners that are cruising their local waters with plans to come all the way up to Alaska in the next 4 years seems like a very cool family I want to be adopted immediately!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmXTiHeLebySbNE

I didn't know Delivering a Boat could be a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE... I DIDN'T haven't that Experience with my VALCO.

[@arisgod2749]

no question about the quality of these yachts build by Nordhavn, personally if money was no object I would not choose the 120 but this one, the 86 because I want to sail it by my self with my wife helping out.

[@michae8jackson378]

Arisgod27 I’m the same but I want a 76! When I finally retire!.........

[@321thach]

It was made in China. Lol

[@321thach]

Epsensieg 18 good joke

[@321thach]

Epsensieg 18 fact is not jealousy. The whole world know everything made in China is copy junk. Chinese can't even create their own they have to steal idea copy from other. Btw I am an American I just found out Notdhavn was an American company that was designed and engineer in California then build at our shipyard in Taiwan. Taiwan is not China

I owned a Grand Banks 42MY. but I love the Nordhavn too !!!

[@ryanscubarhino201]

I'm confident I could sell many of these given learning and grooming of the Nordhavn family. I'm happy to start with mopping floors for no money, you can tell me where you need me. However if you put me in front of new prospects I think I could be very helpful. Cheers from Mn🙂

Fantastic video and Team!

[@xj1716]

@@ryanscubarhino201 Hey I'll join ya dot dot dot although in Nevada I'm a bit segregated from the ocean in the yachting industry I have always had a fascination with all things marine especially mechanical systems and electronic systems I've been a power and motoryacht subscriber since age 10 (actually they send it to me for free)

[@89fingerslouieXRP]

Love Nordhavn ! Wish they'd make a steel hull (even aluminum). we have to deal with trees floating around and rocky outcroppings/beaches in the Pacific Northwest .

[@manos3790]

I totally agree pal. The one thing that grates me is Nordhavn were formally made in the Netherlands (if my assumption's are correct) where production costs are approx 5-8 times the cost of China, therefore they've no chance of getting the western world asking price from me. It would leave a rather bad taste in my mouth.

[@xj1716]

​@@manos3790 you need to do your research there buddy they were never made in the Netherlands the design with the raked windshield is reminiscent of fishing trawlers in those northern countries but no always made in Taiwan at the wonderful tashang shipyard craftsman produced work that rivals / surpasses any domestic builder or even European builders and as far as the hull goes it is 2 plus inches of solid GRP and they also offer a very thick steel reinforcement plate on the bow for your concerns for trees floating there's also forward looking sonar that is semi useful.

[@manos3790]

@@xj1716 it wasn't me that talked of the northwest. Twas the other post. If my other info is incorrect, then I stand corrected.

[@petermathewvanaardt74]

why is it that on all these Nordhavn videos important things like average speed, fuel consumption etc etc are never shown? Makes one wonder and makes me lean toward a Choey or a Outer Reef because I've seen that on there videos. January I buy so we will see what comes up

[@brettrun8575]

You are comparing apples to oranges. The Nordhavn is a true ocean going blue water vessel. The outer reef while nice is a coastal cruiser.

[@minimax9726]

Great video but I Wonder how many crew does it need to operate when it's not an owner/operator boat

[@MeineCraftServer]

+Minimax972 Sometimes people need some sleep ;)

[@randydesoto]

+Minimax972 That varies by mission. For a simple booze cruise (4 hours out and return to port) one would want -- at minimum -- an able pilot, a competent deckhand and probably a deck monkey. For coastal cruising (cruise to different ports with only occasional overnight passages) one would probably want an able pilot, a deckhand competent to stand watch and maybe two deck monkeys -- who can cook, do laundry, etc. For full-on passage making (24/7 operation for a week or weeks) I would spec the minimum crew as an able captain with significant blue water experience, an able pilot with significant mechanical experience and two competent deck hands able to stand watch. When looking a accommodations, this size range focuses on multitasked operation - so we're taking about roles more than bodies. The owner is generally going to be able to act as pilot and will be very familiar with the ship's systems. The owner's family members might be able to act as a stew/chef...or stand watch. Or maybe they hire a stew/chef who is capable to act as a deck monkey. Or maybe hire a watch-keeper who is also a phenomenal bartender.

[@mysticwolf2842]

The vessel is designed for a crew of 4, or you can do the owner operator. The NordHavn IS one of the best if not the best built, these vessels can take just about any type of weather that is thrown at them.

[@jep1103]

Love these boats

[@OmluTerong]

Very nice vid....I like nordhaven....however I believe Mr. Sjakon should park this boat in Indonesia as there are many beautiful islands to explore here. in Indonesia.....

[@wmmaloney1]

Think how much prouder you'd be if she was made in America...make America great again... do your part

[@mysticwolf2842]

B maloney these are some of the best built yachts on the water, they can handle about any weather you throw at them, they beat the stuffing out of other yachts of the same size

[@gingerroot3226]

Yes, the Singaporean would be prouder if the yacht was American made... 🙄

[@richardbrewin4936]

It’s cost prohibitive to build a lot of products in the US .the labor cost alone would double the price of yacht, I’m a union member for almost 40 years. Almost all the products we install are from Other countries. This also has to to with our own greed , we want our pension funds , annuities, and other investments and funds to make the most in returns, the only way this happens is for cheaper products and labor to make Goods so the companies our funds are invested in make the most in returns. Try to go a month with only buying products made in The US it’s almost impossible. Most things you think are made in the US are just ASSEMBLED here , parts are made elsewhere

[@MetaView7]

What a yacht !

[@sowelldon]

The only way I could have one is to win 100 million plus lottery. The 86 to 120 I could easily afford it because its gonna be the only thing I buy because its gonna take a few years of some serious sailing to figure out where I'm going to live lol. Love these boats.
