Hull #1 nearing completion
The Nordhavn 625 splashed into the test tank at the South Coast factory for the first time. She’ll undergo her initial round of seatrials as she nears completion. The final stages of construction, which consist mainly of doors and round ports in the pilothouse and some interior installations, will wrap up over the coming weeks. “She’s fairly complete,” said Project Manager Mike Jensen. “As long as all goes well with the current testing and upcoming seatrials which should happen any day now.” After the last round of seatrials, she’ll be prepped for shipping, which is being targeted for the end of the year or in the early weeks of 2023. The boat is slated to arrive in February and will commence commissioning at the west coast commissioning hub in Dana Point, CA. Her new owners hail from Nevada.

Another fine-looking build from South Coast. Looking forward to seeing more of the performance data, power usage, efficiency, etc. of those Humphree stabilizers on a boat of this size, weight, and hull type and comparison to the ABTs when all is said and done. Also can’t wait to finally get some good photos of the completed boat.
Love this. I have been looking & lurking Nordhavn for a few years now. Showing the wife “this is it, this is what I want to do when we are ready”. I read the paragraph above and when I read the ending, “a couple in Nevada”, I smiled. We reside in Boulder City, Nevada. Told the wife the cat is out of the bag and had her read the paragraph and watch the video…. There was that split second of “NO YOU DIDNT”….. It was fun and NO I did not. Congrats to the other Nevada Nordhavn couple….
So the last comment I made was not allowed?
Such a cool boat ~ Bruce
