One Owner - CE-Marked - Australian 50Hz / 230V - Scott Cole Interior - Ocean-Proven
A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most thoughtfully specified and beautifully executed Nordhavn 68s ever built.
Delivered new to Australia and still under the care of her original owners, Karajas (Hull #25) was conceived from day one as a quiet, reliable and highly autonomous passagemaker. Her brief resulted in a CE-marked build, Australian 230V/50Hz electrical specification, a deeply upgraded engineering platform, and one of the most refined custom interiors ever created on a Nordhavn 68, personally designed with interior architect Scott Cole and finished in satin-stained mahogany, marble and premium stainless accents.
Her walk-around teak decks, FRP flybridge hardtop, serious hydraulic systems and redundant hotel infrastructure make her equally capable of crossing oceans or offering luxurious family cruising along the Australian coast. Every detail on this vessel reflects a meticulous, first-owner approach with a strong emphasis on longevity, noise reduction, craftsmanship and self-sufficiency.

WHY KARAJAS STANDS OUT
Karajas is not a standard Nordhavn 68.
She represents the combined influence of an experienced commissioning owner, the PAE engineering team, and interior architect Scott Cole, resulting in one of the most quiet-running, deeply customised, and technically advanced N68s on the water.
From solid teak flooring and extensive marble finishes to IsoBoost transformers, triple Victron Quattros, premium LED lighting, custom helm architecture, teak everywhere, STW-600 ×2 watermakers and a rare unleaded bowser, every detail points to long-life value, redundancy and craftsmanship.
For an Australian buyer, she is absolutely turnkey.
For an international buyer, she is ready to leave tomorrow.
DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY
A world-capable expedition yacht with impeccable provenance, Karajas is a one-owner, Australian-delivered Nordhavn 68 with extensive customisation and a unique, designer-led interior. Outfitted with top-tier systems, premium materials and transoceanic range, she is equally suited for global exploration or luxurious coastal cruising.
Located on the East Coast of Australia.
