As nice and as capable as this is I'd still take a Fleming over a Nordhavn any day. The extra speed that a semi displacement hull gives you is godsend when you need to outrun some bad weather.
A great review as always Jack. Thanks

[seanogden]

Definitely a Nordhavn, beautiful throughout with nice finishes and a nice layout. Nice tour Jack thank you.

[nicbennett]

Brilliant tour as always Jack, thanks.
Certainly looked and felt like a Nordhavn with a modern twist - perfect I’d say!

The N51 is the smallest medel in the new generation of Nordhavns that can give you a feeling of a proper cross-ocean yacht.
The N41 is gorgeous but it's just too small that it even doesn't have a pilot house, let alone the laundry room and so on. Adding 10 feet makes a huge difference that N51 just looks like a different kind of boat.

I like it! I watched the owner video from hull #2, and he had a ton of commissioning problems after it was delivered, which made me wonder how normal that was, and if the yard had sorted their quality procedures out.

No fixed seating in the aft cockpit & the bow bench are brilliant- the most Zen view is almost always back to the wake or from the very front. Separate washer & dryer in the engine room is also eminently practical; those combo units are useless for drying & the noisy cycle takes HOURS. Love the huge single sink in the galley, too. Clearly listened to their clients' feedback. Kudos Nordhavn.

Beautiful, strong, perfect LRC for an active couple with occasional guests or family of 4.

[ironichumorist]

thanks for this one, jack. been waiting for this one.

Great review have been watching AwanuiNZ on YouTube. They bought the Nordhavn 51, Hull #1! What an adventure they are having traveling from Turkey, all over Europe and eventually back to their home in New Zealand. Love Nordhavn!

Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[KILBY.]

The problem Nordhavn have is they've consistently & thoroughly spoilt their followers with exquisite luxury finishing both inside & out, which is why the exterior of this offering, with its endless blanketing of white sterile plastic, gives the impression that it's a Nordhavn that's been stripped & looted.
The interior was uninspiring too & would definitely benefit from a bit more elbow room on the beam.

In conclusion, it looks overpriced.

[royrobson]

The Mercedes air vents in the cockpit are a quirky touch.

[craigwilsenach]

Thanks for the review, Jack - Love your work! I think this particular Nordhavn N51 is stunning, however, the only thing I'd add is maybe have double helm seats on the flybridge - If Nordhavn has the option to add an extra helm chair, I would seriously consider buying one - perfect for "America's Great Loop" (I'd also want to add a bimini enclosure for the flybridge)

[BlackwingDan]

Would love to have seen: 1. The cockpit cleats recessed into the bulkhead so wobbly-legged lubbers don’t scrape their shins on them; and 2. That pilot house dinette table slide north-south, to facilitate easier ingress when rocking at sea; and 3. All that pretty walnut in the pilot house should be black/dark grey (sorry, less pretty but way better at night); and 4. NON-recessed overhead grab rails in the salon. Recessed grab rails; really silly. Other than that, yup, it’s a rock-solid, SAFE long-hauler, and that’s what you’re paying $2mm for. Safety and dependability.

[johndunn]

slow down your going too fast, try to make the moment last, but, thank you.

[jefforceone]

Top speed is only 11 kn ? well I guess I just won’t able to pick up any women with this particular yacht. Nice walk-through Cheers, Jack.

[jacktyler]

Yet another sensible tour, the kind YachtBuyer is becoming known for. Even with the wide angle lens, it feels a bit cramped as a liveaboard to me. Perhaps they are hoping to compete, layout feature by feather, with 56 or 58 footers. The fly bridge looked overly bright indeed, even via the camera. I'll look forward to how you spec its rivals, Jack. Thanks for the tour!

[SpatialGuy]

G’day Jack. A question that I can’t quite get my head around. This yacht has twin 160’s. Why wouldn’t it perform the same with twin say twin 175hp outboards? Cheers, Michael 🇦🇺

[mrshort]

awesome content great tour. It is nice, but just a little tight for my taste, but it would not be a deal breaker. However I would rather have maybe a size up around 65'.

[FinnishPanther]

That's an incredible boat. Yes, it is over 2 million, but there's a lot of boat for the money. Pretty much the only thing this demo boat is lacking is a MF/HF (GMDSS) on the bridge, other than that I'd be happy to take it over the Atlantic.
The other thing that I noticed was that does the N51 have a good spot for the compacted trash? During longer voyages that becomes a problem and larger transatlantic yachts have dedicated freezers for that.
