There is probably nothing more appropriate than finding the keys to a brand new Nordhavn packaged in festive wrapping paper and presented as a gift for the holidays. Forget all of those silly car commercials with their big red bows – get serious and give the gift of a lifestyle. It’s the gift of a lifetime!
For you last minute shoppers PAE has several wonderful solutions for you to consider, here’s a quick rundown by geographic location of boats right near each of our locations worldwide…
Europe:
There is a nice stable of used boats available including: 40 Orplid, 40 Open Time, 46 Frog Kiss, 47 Albatross, 55 Shogun, 57 Beyond Capricorn, 76 L’Adagio and 76 Silvia M. And in the UK we have a lovely brand new 56’ Motorsailer available for a quick getaway, just dust off the snow on the deck. You can reach the office by e-mail at europesales@nordhavn.com or contact our European brokers, Neil Russell and Philip Roach, directly for more details:
Neil: neil.russell@nordhavn.com
Philip: philip.roach@nordhavn.com
Down Under:
It’s summer in Oz and and in addition to the 43 Venture, we have a pristine Nordhavn57 brokerage boat named Cobalt Blue. There’s a number of new models our Australian staff can show you. Please contact Peter Devers, David Flynn or Don Lees for more information:
Peter: peter@nordhavn.com.au
David: david@nordhavn.com.au
Don: don@nordhavn.com.au
Asia:
The brand new 75 EYF is based at our yard in Xiamen. Contact project manager Dave Harlow for more details:
Northeast
There are several brokerage listings to choose from including: 43 Nola Girl, 47 Winkin’, 47 Acqua Dolce and the 50 Ocean Bear. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I’m going to highlight the Nordhavn 40 Commander. Contact Dave Balfour or Ben Sprague, our knowledgeable guys in Rhode Island, for more details.
Southeast:
Again, a lot to choose from – the 35 Searcher, 43 Mysterry, 46 Poco a Poco, 46 Satchmo, 47 Tumbili, 57 Total Return and 64 Shearwater, but PAE just took a Nordhavn 50 in on trade so this is probably the one Santa Dan would want me to push, the immaculate Grey Goose. Specs are in the works. Contact our sales team, Andy Hegley, Ted Robie and Ray Danet, in the southeast for more details:
Andy: andy.hegley@nordhavn.com
Ted: ted.robie@nordhavn.com
Ray: ray@nordhavn.com
Northwest:
I guess I have a special preference for my pals up in the PNW so amongst all of the listings including 35 Arctic Tern, 40 Endless Safari, 43 Posada, 56 Nordsail One, and 76 Inside Passage III, I’ve got two great selections that Barbara Lippert and Don Kohlmann can help you with.
Southwest:
Here at our Southern California office we’ve got several great offerings in the brokerage side of things – the 43 Rogue Manor, 43 Helen B, 46 Navigator, 55 Honu Kai, 55 Moana Kuewa, 55 Phoenix, 55 Anam Cara and 62 Saumlaki. We also have been paying a lot of attention to our trade-in Motorsailer 56 – ready to go sailing right now!
