Navigator is for sale by her second owners who moved her from the Connecticut to Wisconsin. As the 35th hull number in the series, Navigator features the major product developments incorporated as Nordhavn continually refined and upgraded this popular model such as: 24V electrical, full size watch berth in the pilothouse, opening hatch in the owner stateroom; and the best equipment selections such as a Steelhead crane, Lugger wing engine and ABT TRAC active fin stabilizers – all important additions that simply were not available on earlier hulls. Navigator’s primary attributes when comparing Nordhavn 47’s: Two cabin layout, flybridge with stainless framed top, fiberglass stack for the main engine exhaust and a crane for launching the dinghy.
Navigator is a fantastic trawler for an active owner operator, or couple, now more so due to the new Yacht Controller. She has generous accommodations and a comfortable layout. The entry level has a spacious saloon and an ideal offshore galley. The raised pilothouse is ideal for underway operations with the flybridge above providing a choice in command locations. The staterooms are forward and below, with the owner stateroom situated low and at the center. Interior décor is quite pleasing with Ultraleather upholstery, fitted carpet, custom blinds and granite counters. Machinery and equipment have been serviced (many upgrades and replacements during the current ownership). The engine room is newly lighted and has great headroom for easier serviceability.

ADDITIONAL BROKER COMMENTS:
Navigator is a US Coast Guard Documented vessel (with entry summary paperwork available). The second owners hired Steve D’Antonio during the purchase evaluation and Steve attended the survey haul out and underway, conducting an extensive inspection. Once closed, Navigator was moved to the Hinckley yard in Maine for several months of systems refreshments and upgrades. Many of these improvements are behind-the-scenes, like black and gray water plumbing and the main engine exhaust and muffler refit. Over $200,000.00 was spent to help insure Navigator’s longevity and performance. The owner’s relationship with Steve D’Antonio continues today. It is very satisfying as a broker to help the original buyer set up an outstanding vessel and continually gratifying to see the care and attention continue with the second owner. She is one of my favorite Nordhavn 47’s.
