2003 Nordhavn 50

Mabuhay is an impressive trawler that is both visually appealing and practical. Her sturdy gray gelcoat hull and streamlined long profile, embellished with blue stripes, create a stylish, confident and capable cruiser. With three cabins and two heads, the vessel assures a comfortable stay for guests. The Nordhavn 50 model has stood the test of time as a reliable and efficient long-range cruiser. Hull number twenty-five and the final model of its series, Mabuhay is now available for sale by its third owner. Her original purchaser opted for many sought-after amenities, including a wide-body saloon, a three-cabin layout, a wet exhaust for the primary engine, a well-furnished flybridge, and an Aritex dinghy crane.

You can board Mabuhay from the starboard side deck or from the center door in the transom that connects to the swim platform.
