Nordhavn N68 Boat Review

Boat Review Date: 11 April 2026
Author: Dans Boat Life

Overview

I spent two full days aboard the Nordhavn N68 with the goal of putting myself in your shoes and running the boat for the weekend. From full start-up procedure to docking, anchoring, tender deployment and cruising, we did it. So, prepare yourself for a long weekend of viewing, as this was not designed to be rushed. Instead, we wanted to give those of you who are in the market for a Nordhavn as realistic an experience as possible to hopefully save you time before you get on the plane and test one for yourself. As a brand, this is the trawler yacht many of us immediately think of when we imagine a trawler. As a design, the N68 is a life-changing vessel that could literally take you anywhere you can dream of. This actual model is one on my vision board – let me know if it makes it on yours after watching this?
