2027 Northwest 55 Cruising Yacht

New Build | Long-Range, Go-Anywhere Cruiser

The Northwest 55 is designed for owners who want the freedom to cruise without boundaries. With proven offshore capability, comfortable accommodations, and practical systems, she is equally at home exploring coastal waters, island chains, and extended passagemaking routes around the world.

The semi-displacement hull delivers excellent range, efficiency, and a calm, predictable ride in varying conditions. Wide side decks, a secure pilothouse, and thoughtful deck layouts provide confidence underway, whether navigating busy harbors, crossing open water, or running long distances between destinations.

Inside, the Northwest 55 balances function and comfort for life aboard. Large windows bring in natural light and maintain a strong connection to the surroundings, while the salon offers a welcoming space for relaxing, dining, or planning the next leg of the journey. The galley is fully equipped for extended cruising, and the staterooms are designed for privacy and comfort over long periods afloat.

An extended cockpit adds valuable outdoor living and storage space, ideal for entertaining, water activities, or carrying cruising gear. The Northwest 55 offers flexible two- or three-stateroom layouts, with the third stateroom configurable as bunks, a single berth, or a dedicated office-well suited for owners who cruise long-term or work remotely.
