Nordhavn 76

Those who have a deep yearning for adventure and have considered the idea of cruising the world on a yacht have no doubt spent many late nights drooling over Nordhavns. Having the pleasure of crossing the mighty Pacific Ocean onboard a Nordhavn back in 2014 my best advice is... Stop dreaming and start doing. You will kick yourself for not just jumping into action and starting your journey. Spirit of Ulysses is an exquisitely maintained Nordhavn 76 and is a forward pilothouse model used to explore and discover areas of the world that most of us can only dream about cruising! She has cruised the Pacific from Alaska down to New Zealand, through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic in pure comfort, safety and luxury for the pleasure of being onboard.
She has twin MTU series 60 engines producing 400 hp each. This gives her full redundancy, arrow straight tracking under way and an engine room that puts super yachts to shame! Even being a twin, she still records frugal fuel burn and is easily capable of 3,700 nautical miles at 8 knots. She is built to full CE Category A. She has an extensive inventory, as you would expect from such a vessel and is in beautiful order including new teak decks and internal headlining.
