The 28.07 metre classic motor yacht Nordic Star has been sold in-house by Northrop & Johnson with Jim Elliott and Todd Rittenhouse representing the seller and Paul Daubner introducing the new owner.
Built in aluminium by Florida yard Lantana to a design by Jack Hargrave, she was delivered in 1969 to the US West Coast and has remained there ever since. In 2015, her interior was gutted and replaced with satin finished teak joinery, a teak and holly sole, and all-new soft goods. She also went through all the necessary safety upgrades to obtain a Coastwise Certificate of Inspection for up to 50 passengers, making her ideal for entertaining.
Nordic Star offers accommodation for six guests in three well-appointed staterooms. The master suite is located amidships for added comfort to the owners while two twins are situated aft and all cabins have en suite bathroom facilities.
The main deck area freely flows from the lounge to the formal dining space and then a short hallway leads to the well-equipped galley. Her aft deck is the perfect place to host guests as well as dine al fresco. The area is large with two built-in settees and two teak hi-lo tables. In 2019, the aft deck was fitted with a Strataglass enclosure so it can be enjoyed on cooler days.
Twin Caterpillar D343T diesel engines allow a gentle cruising speed of 10 knots and she is fitted with Naiad fin stabilisers.
Lying in Newport Beach, California, Nordic Star was asking $1,395,000.
