Built with steel and aluminium, the 45.1-metre long Nordhavn 148 features a flared bow and square and round windows that lend a chic aesthetic beauty to the yacht.

Nordhavn said the new model with 495 GT would “push the brand to go beyond prior engineering feats.”

In builder’s words, Nordhavn 148 is a crossover yacht that brings together the commercial benefit and aesthetic charm.

Vice president of Nordhavn’s Pacific Asian Enterprises division Jim Leishman said: “We’ve talked about building a larger boat for a while now. It would be something specifically meant for the most challenging worldwide conditions.”

Co-creative director of Vripack, Marnix Hoekstra, said: “We started by looking at the Nordhavn DNA, looking at what has been done and reimagined that into a metal yacht."

He added: "Nordhavn boats are renowned for venturing to remote off-the-beaten track destinations, and so the aim was to demonstrate to owners that this significant latest model has been conceived by a design studio that has a proven track record in this area.”
