2004 Nordhavn 47

Acqua Dolce is for sale by her third owners who purchased her in 2016 and have logged over 12,000 nautical miles to many incredible destinations. She is hull 23 in the series and has several key production improvements such as a 24V system (originals were 12V) and a Lugger wing engine (earlier hulls used Volvo or Yanmar). She has many popular factory options including a flybridge with aluminum framed top, a fiberglass stack for the main engine exhaust, a crane for launching the dinghy, and the three-cabin layout (divided forward cabin with bunk beds outboard).

The Nordhavn 47 design is the largest "small boat" in the product line and has the capability and range to reliably and comfortably serve as a long-distance, ocean-crossing vessel. Nordhavn 47 sisterships have crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and it is considered routine to travel over 2,000 miles nonstop from port to port. Her Lugger main engine is keel cooled with a dry stack exhaust; she also has a Northern Lights generator, SidePower electric bow and stern thrusters, and ABT Trac active fin stabilizers for a smoother ride.

The interior is teak with a satin finish, with all living spaces cooled by Marine Air reverse cycle air conditioning. Her layout features a master stateroom aft with ensuite head and two cabins up front that share the forward head. The engine room has tall headroom. The raised pilothouse with flybridge above provides two ideal stations for operating underway.

The swim platform with U-shaped rails makes for easy entry aboard either from the dock or the water using the fold-down swim ladder. You can arrive by dinghy and hop aboard the swim step and through the transom door, or walk on from the dock on the starboard side deck. Below the cockpit is a large lazarette covered by a fiberglass hatch with gas shocks. A freshwater cockpit shower is conveniently located starboard of the Dutch door and the propane tank locker is aft to port. The covered starboard side deck is a protected walkway outside the saloon. The aft deck/cockpit provides an outdoor space for relaxing and boarding, with immediate access to the interior through her robust Dutch door.

• New dock lines (2019) and a towing bridle for the dinghy
• LED underwater lights (installed February 2019)

The saloon has comfortable bench seating outboard on both sides that is ideal for entertaining. There are custom window blinds that add décor and privacy. There is a large teak dining table by the starboard settee that will seat six for meals. On the back of the starboard settee is a Samsung flat screen TV with DirecTV 1080p HD DVR on a lift system that stores the TV when not in use. Also included is a Fusion MS-SRX400 entertainment system with Bluetooth and WiFi playing through a sub-woofer and Bose speakers. A separate clothes washer and clothes dryer is concealed behind a louvered door forward to starboard, just outboard of the stairway to the pilothouse.

The galley is at the forward end of the saloon and offers large granite countertops that can be used for passing items to the saloon or as a breakfast bar. It is well laid out with ample storage, a double basin stainless steel sink, plenty of drawers for utensils and overhead lockers for dishes and glasses. The sole is teak and spruce with carpet to protect the finish.

Three steps lead up into the pilothouse from the companionway. The pilothouse includes the primary command stations and recently upgraded (2017–2018) electronics including chart plotters with world map, AIS, radar, engine interface, and satellite communication. The overhead features a newly replaced dark headliner for superior night vision. This raised pilothouse has a Stidd helm chair for skippering with a settee and teak table behind, and above the settee is a double day berth which keeps the crew close during overnight trips. The electrical panel is installed in an island panel with clearly labeled breakers and digital read-outs. Two Dutch doors open outboard to allow access to the Portuguese bridge deck.

Going down a curved set of stairs you pass a built-in Sub-Zero freezer installed outboard and then reach the lower level landing, where you can go forward to the guest cabins or aft to the master stateroom.

The owner's stateroom is located aft from the stairway down into the accommodation area. It features a queen size island bed (fore and aft) with custom HMC mattress. There are ample drawers and lockers for storage as well as a large bookshelf. An LCD TV pre-wired for satellite, air antenna and DVD player is mounted on the forward bulkhead, and a Raymarine depth gauge is next to the master bed. The master has an incorporated head and shower and provides immediate access to the engine room aft through a tall, well-insulated and dogged door.

On the starboard side is the doorway to the owner's head, which features a full-size shower finished in white FRP for easy cleaning, custom teak and spruce flooring, a granite countertop, white porcelain washbasin and Grohe mixer tap.

The forward below-decks area has two guest staterooms, accessed via separate doors at the base of the stairway coming down from the pilothouse. A centerline bulkhead divides this space into two separate areas; each side has an upper berth with a wider lower berth, and all four berths are fitted with luxury HMC custom mattresses. The starboard guest stateroom features a small chest of drawers. Ample storage through hanging lockers and under-berth drawers is available in both cabins, and each cabin has its own entry door aft and private access forward to the shared forward head and shower.

The forward head features a full shower and head with storage spaces, white gelcoat fiberglass vertical finish for easy cleaning, a granite counter and teak-and-spruce flooring.

Access to the engine room is through the teak-trimmed door in the master or through a small door in the lazarette. The impressive headroom is readily apparent as soon as you enter. The Lugger main engine is keel cooled with dry stack exhaust. The aft section of the engine room has a Lugger wing engine to port and Northern Lights generator to starboard. Forward you have access to both active fin stabilizers. The fiberglass main fuel tanks outboard are plumbed to a forward supply tank with valves and manifolds to supply, return and transfer fuel.

Below the cockpit and through a large fiberglass hatch is the lazarette; underway access is primarily through the engine room. The lazarette serves as a large storage cavern and houses the house battery bank with battery fuses and disconnects. Acqua Dolce has the optional higher-capacity battery bank for a total of 1020 AH at 24V. A 4 kW Xantrex inverter provides power for all 120V appliances when the genset is not running. The Aritex crane control unit and hydraulic steering are installed here. A Village Marine Squirt SPW-600 watermaker, with upgraded control interface (2018) and new membranes (January 2020), provides ample fresh water. The lazarette is protected with a Fireboy built-in fire suppression system.

The Portuguese bridge divides the pilothouse from the foredeck and creates a very safe forward through-passage. It connects aft on the port side and up to the boat deck. There is a foredeck door on the starboard side. Portlights are built into the guest stateroom, and outside storage lockers are incorporated for easy access of gear stowage.

The foredeck has a fiberglass door entry from the Portuguese bridge as well as port and starboard boarding gates, all leading to a very level deck surface. It is kept clear for anchoring duties using the Maxwell VWC 3500 windlass along with a 110 lb. Bruce anchor connected to 400' of chain. The chain locker is accessed through a Freeman hatch built into the self-draining anchor well. A spare Fortress anchor is aboard. Lifelines on the bow were upgraded (2018), and a 10% boost transformer (2017) is included for marinas with low voltage. Shore power connections are located on the foredeck.

The boat deck is aft of the flybridge and is where the tender is stowed and launched using the Aritex 1400 lb. stainless steel davit (overhauled February 2020). The 12.5' Caribe tender with 40 HP Yamaha 4-stroke motor (fully serviced February 2020) is mounted on the starboard side of the boat deck, leaving plenty of room for sunbathing or entertaining. A self-launching Revere 6-person life raft in a custom holder is positioned on the aft deck (installed new April 2018).

Up a short set of steps you arrive at the flybridge, one of the best places to entertain while underway or at rest. The best view is from the two matching Todd helm chairs, and there is also a wide settee aft. The flybridge is sheltered from the sun by an aluminum frame covered with stretched Stamoid fabric.
