2007 Nordic 54 Sold Boat in Seattle, WA 98117 US

Vessel in a Tax-Paid LLC.

Speakeasy is a truly exceptional vessel that has been maintained and outfitted to a very high standard by her experienced owners.

Compare the Nordic 54 to other vessels in her class and you will find a lot to like in the design. The hard chine semi-displacement hull is inherently stable. The Cummins will easily drive the boat at economical displacement cruising speeds (2500-mile range) but can deliver 14 knots when needed. Her open interior layout makes life aboard comfortable and provides excellent visibility.

You enter into a great salon with seating on both sides, a TV, bar, and open to the large galley. Up three steps is a very large pilothouse, with a settee large enough for 5. There's doors to each side to get to the foredeck easily, and stairs that lead to the open-plan flybridge.

This particular hull is set up as a 3 cabin, 2 head layout. The primary cabin is forward, with an ensuite head. Then there is a cabin that can be set up as a queen pullman berth or as a couch, finally, a bunk bed cabin. There is a practical utility room that houses separate washers and dryers, and a deep freezer, plus storage.

FULL DESCRIPTION

General Features and Description:

The Nordic Tug 54 has a large cockpit that is well set-up for entertaining, BBQs, but also as a work area for fishing or crabbing. There is an overhanging roof so it could be fully enclosed.

There are nice, wide fiberglass steps to the flybridge (It can also be accessed from the Pilothouse). Access to the foredeck is very easy from the port and starboard side decks, and once forward, you have a high vantage point from which to enjoy the views. There is an inset cushion for sitting.

The flybridge features six solar panels on the pilothouse roof and plenty of open space. Currently, the owners have a large L-shaped outdoor couch, a large dock box, and there is still space to put a tender with the hydraulic lift.

The interior can be entered via a large door in the cockpit, and two sliding doors to either side of the pilothouse. Rich teak joinery accents the interior from stem to stern. The main level is for a large salon with a couch to the left and space on the right for chairs, with cabinetry and a space that's been used for a full car. Then there is a U-shaped galley that's plenty big for several users, with two fridges and a deep freezer in a utility room, a dishwasher, icemaker, convection oven and 4 burner propane stove. Up a few steps is an exceptionally large pilothouse with a "sky lounge" that will seat 4-5 adults, a great Stidd chair for the helm person, and plenty of standing-around room and natural ventilation.

From the Galley you can go down a winding staircase to the landing that leads to the two guest cabins midship (One is a couch convertible to a Queen; the other are bunk beds). Then further forward is guest/day head, cabinetry, and finally the primary cabin forward, which has an island berth, lots of storage, and an ensuite head. Coming back, you can go through the utility room, which features the deep freezer, separate washer and dryers and an electrical panel, and head through a large door for the engine room, which you can fully stand up in. There is also a door from the lazarette into the engine room.

A note about the flooring: The current owners installed new high-end carpet throughout the boat upon purchase in 2010 and in 2020 Amtico vinyl flooring was installed in the galley and pilothouse high-traffic areas. Additionally, sound-deadening carpet padding was used when the carpeting was installed to further reduce engine noise.
