The folks at Pacific Asian Enterprises just recently unloaded N63-01 from its freighter in Miami and brought it up to the Stuart completion center. It’s a beautiful boat; an evolution of the N55/60 hull with the aft pilothouse and overall look of the venerable N62 (but not quite the beam of that boat). In looking [...]

There’s a great little item on the P.A.E. Nordhavn website about a chance meeting of the first two 75 Expedition Yacht Fisher (EYF) boats in Cabo San Lucas this summer.

Kadey-Krogen has confirmed the launch of the new 64′ Expedition yacht. We’ve got all the latest renderings and deck plans as well as some of the details of the design philosophy.
Pacific Expedition Yachts is a new builder, based on the coast in central Oregon, building long-range, self-sufficient power catamarans that are, compared to the traditional monohull trawler, a horse of a different color. Actually, although the base color is white, you can have them in almost any color. The new Expedition line of twin-hull motoryachts [...]
