Nordhavn
Nordhavn Trawlers, built in Asia for a closely held US corporation (Pacific Asian Enterprises), are regarded among the finest choices in passage making motoryachts.

Stout, full displacement hulls and professional pilothouse design foster an ability to tackle any ocean in the world. The overwhelming majority of Nordhavn trawlers are of single screw design. Many have an additional “wing engine” with separate shaft and folding prop, designed to allow a mariner to return to port in the unlikely event that a main engine ever failed. A very few Nordhavn trawlers have been built with twin mains. Every Nordhavn is designed and built more like a small ship than large yacht.
