According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2047" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordhavn Yachts (Company)">Nordhavn</a> Chief of Design Jeff Leishman, the owner “loved his boat but after seven years of ownership, he felt like he needed a little more space.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346903/image/large-bee5441748e9afa4a963336fca6082a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346903">Staying true to the 75 Expedition’s interior living spaces, the Nordhavn 80 Expedition Yachtfisher boasts additional outdoor space, as requested by her owner. Rather than including a traditional cockpit, the EYF yacht exhibits a three-foot longer California deck, which extends into a secondary lower deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346902/image/large-2f3064156d87b6753e8dd8e78afe2b18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346902">Furthermore, the upper aft deck was lengthened outward by four-feet to shade the California deck, and new moulds were employed for these sections.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346904/image/large-68c273c379c99ca021596f19a6bc3698.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346904">“Essentially he wanted us to bump out the back to increase the length and give him more space in the upper part of the California deck. Primarily it was to give more clearance between the doorway and the seating area, but he had other things he wanted to tweak,” Leishman continued.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346905/image/large-5edbd1e43404b24c8a7090b54dbd44da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346905">While the 75 EYF’s upper deck offers space for two side-by-side settees and tables, the 80 EYF’s expanded square footage means she can now incorporate a drinks fridge and a spot to install a bin for recyclables.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346906/image/large-ace75bfd0bc44b30fc0864bcab106d68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346906">In addition to her maximised alfresco entertainment areas, the new 80 EYF version is set to display the signature, modern <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2047" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordhavn Yachts (Company)">Nordhavn</a> design, characterised by frameless pilothouse windows. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346907/image/large-0ac5bfeb463d99f4e325cd8fb25efd49.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346907">This owner is a native of Queensland, Australia, and a passionate game fisherman who has owned many sportfishers. “He loves the lifestyle so much, and loves bringing guests along,” enthused Marley Cutbush, his Sydney-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2047" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordhavn Yachts (Company)">Nordhavn</a> sales rep. “The desire for a bigger boat was a matter of allowing for more people to enjoy the mezzanine deck in comfort and protection while fishing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346908/image/large-9d4c21fbf1209c484e0769a2fb8e3e94.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346908">Moreover, the extension of the yacht’s waterline length is intended to optimise performance and seakeeping abilities.

The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould.

According to the company, the system can also be scaled for fully electric propulsion on tenders, chase boats and support craft.The battery architecture is intended to accommodate vessels of varying sizes, with configurations ranging from compact single-rack installations for yachts from around 50 metres LOA to multi-bank installations for yachts exceeding 100 metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400344/image/large-bc7bbdf1e4cc39b300560a65b7f52797.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400344">Each battery module stores 9.8 kWh of energy, while the overall system can be configured from 39 kWh up to 4.2 MWh.

Remote monitoring and diagnostics are also supported.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400346/image/large-aaf3d5c0c291d78db19fc3974e74c9de.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400346">The ES10M has an IP67 ingress protection rating at module level and has been designed to meet maritime-grade electromagnetic compatibility standards. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd's Register</a> class compliance is currently in progress.
