A Journey from Mexico to New Zealand
In 2016, I had the pleasure of selling a Nordhavn 56 Motor Sailor to a New Zealand client. This transaction was distinctive, not just because of the rarity and remarkable build of the Nordhavn 56, but also due to the adventurous journey it entailed.
The Nordhavn 56 is a marvel of maritime engineering, celebrated for its robust design and exceptional performance. These characteristics make it a sought-after vessel among enthusiasts and sailors. It was no surprise, then, that our New Zealand client was particularly interested in this rare gem.
Our adventure began in Mexico, where the boat lived. The client and I travelled to this picturesque location to inspect the vessel. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as we prepared for the sea trial and survey. The experience was not just a test of the boat’s capabilities, but also a testament to the lengths we go to at Yachtfinders Global to ensure our clients find their perfect vessel.
The sea trial was an exhilarating experience. The Nordhavn 56 Motor Sailor performed impeccably, handling the waters with grace and power. The survey confirmed what we already knew – this was an exceptional boat in excellent condition. Our client was thoroughly impressed and decided to proceed with the purchase.
From there, the owner embarked on an impressive voyage, sailing the Nordhavn 56 from Mexico back to New Zealand. The journey was a testament to the boat’s durability and the owner’s sailing prowess. Since then, the Nordhavn 56 has remained in New Zealand, serving its owner faithfully.
Now, years later, we find ourselves with the Nordhavn 56 Motor Sailor up for sale once again. The owner is moving on to another vessel, and this opens up an opportunity for another lucky individual to experience the joy of owning such a remarkable boat.
Reflecting on this experience fills me with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Travelling to Mexico for the sea trial and survey was an unforgettable adventure, one that not many brokers in New Zealand can claim to have undertaken. At Yachtfinders Global, we pride ourselves on our dedication and expertise, having facilitated such remarkable transactions numerous times.
This story is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional service and the joy of helping clients realize their nautical dreams. The Nordhavn 56 Motor Sailor is more than just a boat; it represents the spirit of adventure, the pursuit of excellence, and the bonds forged through shared experiences on the open sea.
