The Nordhavn 148, the first ever metal superyacht built by the yard will sport a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and round bilge. It will become their new flagship, and will be the largest Nordhavn built to date.

This concept design features homely Scandinavian chic interior hailing from the drawing boards of Vripack, which pairs seamlessly with Nordhavn’s bold explorer vessels.

In addition, the exterior of the Nordhavn 148 also features flourishes from Vripack’s in-house naval architecture, drawing on their expertise of designing explorer vessels that take on Northwest Passages.

“Nordhavn were keen to tap into our explorer heritage,” says Marnix Hoekstra, co-creative director at Vripack. “Nordhavn boats are renowned for venturing to remote off-the-beaten-track destinations, and so the aim was to demonstrate to owners that this significant latest model has been conceived by a design studio that has a proven track record in this arena.”

As a no-nonsense go-anywhere explorer boat, the Nordhavn 148 possesses the strong Nordhavn DNA and feel, but with Dutch styling.
