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. Today she is fueled and ready for you to start your own adventures. She is hull 23 in the series and has several key production improvements such as a 24V (original were 12V) system and a Lugger wing engine (earlier hulls used Volvo or Yanmar).
Acqua Dolce has many important popular factory options including: flybridge with aluminum framed top, fiberglass stack for the main engine exhaust and a crane for launching the dinghy and three cabin layout (divided forward cabin with bunkbeds outboard).
The Nordhavn 47 design is the largest “small boat” in the product line and she has the capability and range to reliably and comfortably serve as a long distance, ocean-crossing vessel. Very few yachts (sail or power) can compete with the capability of the Nordhavn 47 for comfort and reliability 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 as dozens have done successfully. With over 50 hulls completed there are over one million miles traveled by Nordhavn 47s as reported in the PAE Distance Pennant Program If you are a Nordhavn 47 buyer and been studying this PAE/Nordhavn model you will learn that Acqua Dolce is nicely outfitted and has been carefully maintained.
Her Lugger main engine is keel cooled with a dry stack exhaust and she also has a Northern Lights generator. With SidePower electric bow and stern thrusters she is very maneuverable at slow speeds making docking this single engine trawler less frantic. She also has ABT Trac active fin stabilizers for a smoother ride in rough seas.
The interior of Acqua Dolce is teak with a satin finish. All living spaces are cooled by Marine Air reverse cycle air conditioning. Floors are tastefully carpeted completely covering and preserving the beautiful teak and spruce flooring throughout the boat. Decorator bedspreads and fabrics on all bunks that is coordinated with the window treatments and matching decorator throw pillows that will warm the heart of any first mate.
Her interior 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, making her easier to move about, service, and perform inspections. Her raised pilothouse with flybridge above provides two ideal stations for operating underway. Boarding from the starboard side or swim platform you can easily walk around the decks. The aft cockpit opens up into a large saloon and galley. You go up a few steps to the pilothouse, which offers outdoor access port and starboard and you can descend a flight of stairs forward to arrive at the stateroom level. The engine room is accessible from a saloon floor hatch or through a large door in the master.
Acqua Dolce has a convenient layout for an active owner operator couple. Her size is large enough to provide a comfortable ride with spacious accommodations, and she is ideally sized for ease of boat handling and maintenance.

Lazarette: Below the cockpit and through a large fiberglass hatch is the lazarette. Underway access is primarily conducted by entering aft through the engine room.

Acqua Dolce has the optional higher capacity battery bank for a total of 1020AH at 24V. A 4kW Xantrex inverter provides power for all 120V appliances when the genset is not running. The Aritex crane controlling unit and hydraulic steering are installed. A Village Marine Squirt SPW – 600 watermaker, with upgraded control interface (2018) and new membranes installed January 2020, provides more than adequate fresh water for long stays in remote locations. The lazarette is also protected with a Fireboy built-in fire suppression system.
Portuguese Bridge: 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. There are portlights built into the guest stateroom and outside storage lockers incorporated for easy access of gear stowage.
Foredeck: 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, making it easier to move about.

Caribe tender with 40HP Yamaha 4-stroke motor (fully serviced (February 2020) are mounted on the starboard side of the boat deck which leaves 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).
Flybridge: Up a short set of steps you arrive at the flybridge which is one of the best places to entertain while underway or at rest. The best view is from the two matching Todd helm chairs. There is also a wide settee aft. The flybridge is sheltered from the sun by an aluminum frame covered with stretched Stamoid fabric. Key equipment features include:
