Nordhavn Europe are delighted to offer to the brokerage market one of the finest examples of the Nordhavn 55 we have built! ‘Tai-Pan’ has been in the loving care of her original build owners who have spent the last 18 years exploring and living half the year aboard in the Eastern Mediterranean. She was specified with the very best upgrades to her standard specification, and we worked closely with her owners to create a vessel easily handled by a couple and featuring many alterations to make ‘Med’ cruising simple. She was one of the earliest hulls to have a hydraulic passerelle and had the now legendary Lugger 1276 upgrade main engine with full hydraulics. All the spec you will see makes her a fabulous vessel, but what makes her special is the love and attention paid to her by her owners over the years. The service and maintenance records are astonishing! She is an absolute delight to view, and the adaptations and modifications made to her will give her next owners years of pleasure and trouble-free cruising.

VAT was paid when new in the UK so for status on this we can talk about your individual situation.

Brokers comments:

“On a personal note, ‘Tai-Pan’ was one of my earliest sales and 18 years later I still have the fondest memories of all what we did on board this beautiful N55. I am sad that her original buyers are leaving her but very much look forward to helping her new buyers on the further adventures aboard!”- Philip Roach, NEL
