2007 Nordhavn 62

Island Greeter is an active and lightly used original-owner Nordhavn 62 in exceptional condition. Two years of planning and construction merged into fifteen years of cruising, primarily during the spring and summer months up in the Pacific Northwest. Hull number 34 of 39 built, she had the benefit of seeing the selections made by predecessor hulls, which dramatically improved the overall package: widebody saloon for more interior space (with two larger windows), oval portlights, custom fiberglass dry stack mast with antennas, file drawers with metal glides, and a stern bustle which adds waterline offshore and provides a convenient dinghy dock platform with the small generator inside. Inside is gorgeous — gloss cherry woodwork, rich and exquisite. Her machinery is dependable: a Lugger main engine with dry stack exhaust, Lugger wing engine, two Northern Lights generators, ABT active fin stabilizers, and hydraulic windlass and thrusters.

You can get all around the deck with the starboard side door hull and access from the stern bustle. It is extremely easy to dock, with control stations not only in the cockpit for backing into a slip, but also outboard port and starboard on the Portuguese bridge. Aboard and inside Island Greeter you will find the luxury and craftsmanship that the Ta Shing yard in Taiwan is world famous for. The saloon is spacious, with large outboard windows, and gently transitions to the galley with the choice of going forward to the staterooms (and engine room access) or up top to the pilothouse. The accommodations forward of the galley comprise the large owner stateroom aft with ensuite head and shower, the port stateroom forward with ensuite head and shower, then a truly impressive forward VIP stateroom featuring a luxurious island berth.

Entering the saloon through a wide watertight door you are immediately struck by beauty, elegance and openness. The port side entrance is easy access, there is an entertainment island, and outboard a flat screen television on a concealed lift. To starboard is a beautiful dinette with teak table that has a removable middle section. The interior is all high-gloss varnished cherry, carefully selected and beautifully matched, and the floors are traditional varnished teak and spruce.

The huge outboard window forward in the galley complements the saloon windows. This galley features a four-burner propane cook top supplemented with a below-counter electric oven, plus a dishwasher, microwave convection oven, trash compactor, two refrigerators and a freezer. The granite counter offers an expansive serving area.

Forward of the galley is a hallway which starts outboard to starboard with the electrical panel and finds the owner stateroom immediately to port. This aft location is much more comfortable in a seaway and focuses on a large island berth running fore/aft. Outboard to port is a built-in changing seat, and forward to port is a head with shower. There is a full-length dressing mirror, and a Sharp Aquos flat screen television is mounted on the forward bulkhead. There is an incredible amount of storage with drawers and hanging lockers.

Gorgeous teak and spruce floors reflect up to the varnished cherry panels of the hallway, which runs the full length of the lower-level living quarters. At the beginning of the hallway to starboard is the ship's main electrical panel with all the necessary breakers and displays easily readable and logically labeled — convenient being right across from the owner stateroom and close to the engine room. There is a pantry locker to starboard and concealed laundry appliances.

This is a stateroom that is the equal of the owner cabin — in fact, at anchor, this is likely the preferred accommodations due to the light and air flow. Very few Nordhavn 62s created an island berth in the forward stateroom. The ensuite head and shower make for a comfortable and private retreat.

The aft pilothouse on the Nordhavn 62 is one of this vessel's most attractive features. Incredible 360-degree visibility gives a view perspective unequalled on other trawlers. The display mounting surface areas are varnished cherry (not the charcoal laminate so commonly found), wonderfully outfitted with marine electronics featuring large screen displays and redundant marine navigation. Aft of the helm is a bench seat area with varnished table and a watch berth aft atop a deep freezer; starboard aft is an office area.

Leaving the wheelhouse and heading aft you will find the "back patio" with a fiberglass table and built-in seating with cushions, covered with a stainless Bimini top — a wonderful place to enjoy the view, especially at anchor.
