In our studio, we have a large sample lab and together we picked and chose the right cuts for the oak, the strength of the brush for the brass and finish of the Wimbledon white walls.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/111354/image/large-84754368df8207a7bdc2f0f0613c4507.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111354"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/111353/image/large-439b674d7834fa693ed5d3ce289316b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111353"> <img src="/uploads/store/photo/111352/image/large-36e4a08f96132b423c8250b94848ac64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111352"> “After this, we created a sample material box which was shipped to their home so they could touch and feel the final selected materials and finishes. Following the approval we made photorealistic images and the virtual reality run through. During a very pleasant meeting at Fort Lauderdale, the final presentation was given and the owners were very pleased with the end result, which consists of American Oak with a white hand-washed finish for the floors and cabinets, this in combination with a silk white finish on the walls and ceiling. Brushed brash is used on all fiddle rails and fixtures. The wet areas see a finish of Carrara marble,”&nbsp;he added.

Delivered: Nordhavn’s first custom 100 superyacht named Serenity

With an exterior look that is bold, dapper and confident, brand new superyacht Aurora is the very first Nordhavn 120 and a finalist for the upcoming World Superyacht Awards.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149254/image/large-e8a37fd66f0cefa88fadeddc3339b2c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149254">Strong lines, that show off a mix of features from traditional expedition vessels and modern luxury superyachts, a recognisable silhouette and her exterior colour palette of cream and white, for her hull and superstructure respectively, are Aurora's main ingredients for the exterior look. At 36.75 metres, Aurora is ready to show the world what Nordhavn has to offer as a builder of superyachts. Judging from her strong look, it's apparent that Aurora is built for more than just anchoring at an uninhabited island or cruising along the Mediterranean. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149255/image/large-61a4dd84efbff59744906e8153012592.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149255">Although boasting several spacious exterior deck areas, ample emphasis has been put on her impressive volumes, stylish interior designs and overall panoramic ambiance. This interior design style, by Destry Darr Designs, is elegantly classic with a modern touch, with refined yet contemporary furnishing and a warm, soft colour palette of cream, beige and the natural tones of luxury timber. These themes have been applied throughout Aurora's interiors, making a stroll through her decks one of consistent, warm ambiance and graceful style.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149256/image/large-ff047c2666869d6ace0219c36fa0689a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149256">Obviously set for colder, harsher and more rugged territories than your average luxury yachting destination, one enters the main saloon through an aft pantry and is invited to a distinguished, warm lounge with large surrounding windows. It's easy to imagine the various natural surroundings of Aurora's many adventurous destinations serving as stunning backdrops for this elegant setting.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149257/image/large-045019e903e88f2d6f1c52fc27a7a56c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149257">Large sofas and armchairs in a light cream upholstery, dark wooden wall paneling and cabinetry, it all serves perfectly well in an overall design scheme that is elegantly designed and soothing. These surroundings allow guests to have a large part of their attention focused on the extraordinary panoramas that will undeniably be part of every journey onboard Aurora. In other words, Aurora's main saloon is well-balanced, elegant and classically stylish, and in no way trying to overshadow what she truly is all about: adventurous travels in great comfort and luxury. Fore, the main dining area is designed in a similar style, turning this open-plan main saloon into a spacious yet cozy room, functioning as a central social hub for all guests.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149258/image/large-15cc6b9f216de8ffcbf85e949145e70a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149258">There is a sense of luxurious hospitality to be enjoyed everywhere onboard, even the galley offers a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere. Perfectly well-equipped, this room was skilfully planned by the owners in order to offer a perfect arrangement for cooking. The result forms a seamless extension of the main saloon and all other guest areas onboard.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149259/image/large-b61e7300cb606f2dac2f41fa86bf7ac0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149259">Warmth, space and openness are key, also for the multi-room master suite, which takes full advantage of Aurora's large interior volumes. A full beam stateroom, lounge and office areas, a private lobby and television room, impressive his and hers en suites and his and hers walk-in wardrobes make up these impressive master quarters. All in all, an oasis of elegance, classic ambiance and stylish luxury. Here, too, large windows assure stunning backdrops wherever the journey may lead, so panoramic splendor can be experienced throughout.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149260/image/large-5c8a195256a372d6dfff158cb5d05941.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149260"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149261/image/large-143faf73b0eb13cee3dbe9a1b188ef88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149261">The full beam superstructure fore assures an extra spacious master suite, accentuating Aurora's voluminous nature compared to her relatively modest size.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149262/image/large-bd50e3c590735e5c77568eea8738c13d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149262">Belowdecks, four spacious guest suites can be found. With the centrally located engine room, two VIP suites fore and two twin suites aft, one of which can be easily transformed into a double, assure perfect accommodations for all guests.

Superyacht of the Week: The explorer Aurora

This video shows the delivery trip of the Nordhavn 120 Aurora, which was delivered in 2013 to her owners in Vancouver. The N120 is built to handle the seas as well as she handles her guests. Naval architect Jeff Leishman has made her waterline length a sweetspot in terms of wave period, and in doing so, makes long passages a very comfortable experience.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DcLLCCkyr3k" width="560"></iframe>Nordhavn +1 949 496 4848 <a href="mailto:info@nordhavn.com?subject=N120%20article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@nordhavn.com</a> <a href="http://www.nordhavn.com/" target="_blank">www.nordhavn.com</a>

Delivery video of the Nordhavn 120 Aurora

The Nordhavn 120 #1 has undergone successful ocean trials and is on schedule to depart the South Coast Marine factory in Xiamen, China on July 12th. The yacht will be delivered by a crew of staff from Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. (P.A.E.) including Nordhavn’s vice president, Jim Leishman, and Chief of Design, Jeff Leishman. One port of call has been scheduled for Hong Kong on July 16th. From there the crossing will take approximately 25 days with an arrival to Vancouver in mid-August.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144936/image/large-0eca019d7335868da5d22b6076cc2884.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144936">Due to logistics, the sheer mass of the vessel as well as economic factors, it’s been concluded that N120 hull #1 will be delivered on her own bottom. With a non-stop range from China to Vancouver running at displacement speed, the decision to “drive” her home was made thoughtfully, however, confidently. The goal is to make a quick and efficient passage running as fast as possible using the same classic fuel management practices utilized by the crews on board the Nordhavn 40 during the Around The World (ATW) voyage (as well as by hundreds of other Nordhavn owners during their own long passages).Nordhavn +1 949 496 4848 <a href="mailto:info@nordhavn.com?subject=N120%20article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@nordhavn.com</a> <a href="http://www.nordhavn.com/" target="_blank">www.nordhavn.com</a>

The Nordhavn 120 to be delivered soon

The Nordhavn 120 completed a crucial step today after it was launched into the test tank at South Coast Marine in Xiamen, China. Dan Streech, president of Nordhavn’s parent company Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. (P.A.E.) noted that so far the future queenship of the Nordhavn fleet has functioned in the water exactly as expected. “She floats perfectly,” Streech said. “All 800,000 lbs. of fiberglass, steel, wood, stone and glass have been brilliantly engineered and managed to float exactly as predicted.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/143794/image/large-929ec00222a16bfe09b40c5bb3960952.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/143794">The tank test is the penultimate stage for the N120 prior to being delivered to her new owner in July. She will remain in the tank for approximately one month as systems are fired up and tested. Upon completion, she’ll undergo final ocean trials and ABS certification assessment in preparation for delivery – via her own bottom – to Vancouver, Canada.Nordhavn +1 949 496 4848 <a href="mailto:info@nordhavn.com?subject=N120%20article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@nordhavn.com</a> <a href="http://www.nordhavn.com/" target="_blank">www.nordhavn.com</a>
