New to the market, “Deep Blue” is the latest Nordhavn 55 to be offered for sale. She is hull #45 of the popular ocean crossing model. She was built with the rare and desirable optional centerline island queen forward berth, equivalent to the Nordhavn 60s. This forward VIP stateroom provides for a much larger aft facing head and shower arrangement.
Continually upgraded and beautifully maintained by her knowledgeable owner, “Deep Blue” is loaded with gear, and ready to cruise.

Specifications
One of the most popular and successful Nordhavn models, the N55 has been designed to provide maximum safety and comfort aboard during extended cruises. The high bow provides extra buoyancy when punching into large head seas and the higher deck takes on less blue water during rough conditions. In addition, the added height provides significantly more interior volume below for headroom and storage. Along with an internally ballasted keel, the machinery, fuel and water tanks are installed low in the hull, ensuring superior stability. The use of fiberglass fuel tanks adds to the long term, trouble free, service of the boat. Since the tanks have large inspection plates, a service technician can actually enter the tank and thoroughly clean it of possible contaminated fuel and algae residue.
Her commercial-like pilothouse is located amidships for minimal motion at sea and provides excellent 360-degree visibility. The Stidd pilothouse helm chair puts the captain comfortably in command of the ship, with all electronics and controls within sight and reach. Aft of the helm chair, a large L-shaped settee and table are elevated for superior visibility forward by guest and crew. Beneath the settee are full-sized chart drawers and additional storage.
Rarely found in any yacht of this size, the N55's pilothouse comes with a private stateroom complete with head, storage and double-sized berth. Perfect for the off-watch crew on long passages, this area also serves as a private guest stateroom.
“Deep Blue” has been designed with a large flying bridge complete with a highly sought after optional fiberglass hard-top. Located directly over the pilothouse, it provides excellent visibility and is the ideal place to spend time either underway or at anchor.
With a non-stop range of over 3,000 miles, “Deep Blue” is the perfect passagemaker!
Walkthrough:
The cockpit opens directly to the main saloon, adding extra living area to already spacious accommodations. A large L-shaped settee and gorgeous varnished teak table are located aft to port. Adjacent to the settee are two comfortable reclining chairs and ottomans, perfect for reading or watching TV. Two bar chairs face the pass-through counter top to the galley, which features granite countertops, full sized home-style appliances, and abundant amounts of storage. The owner’s stateroom is located amidships with walk-around king sized berth, two hanging closets, upgraded new-design larger port lights to allow ample natural lighting and great ventilation. In addition, the owner’s stateroom has an en-suite head with shower and full-sized bathtub. The guest cabin features the upgraded large centerline queen size walk-around berth, which is located all the way forward and includes a large en-suite head and shower.
The pilothouse separates the N55 from the typical motor yacht. The height of eye and near 360-degree view rivals that of a large commercial boat. The Stidd helm chair puts the captain within easy reach of all bridge controls and allows for a commanding view of the surroundings of the vessel. Aft of the helm chair is a raised L-shaped settee, which can easily sit three or four crewmembers. Aft of the pilothouse is the third private stateroom, which is excellent for off watch crew during long passages. A day head is located aft and to starboard in the pilothouse.
