You’re father is a real Badass for fighting in those battles I thank him for his service 💪

This yacht spoiled me. Ever since I watched the walk through, no other appeals as much to me at any price. The layout, woodwork to die for and interior decor have done me in. After watching lots of yachting videos, I love explorer yachts the most. They look so ready for adventure on the outside and Nordhavns especially are like heaven on the inside. I really am in awe of the people who can visualize and build such beautiful, complex and functional creations. So much talent and fine taste.

I watched this delivery video when it came out about 8 years ago. It's the only one on KZread that I come back to and watch every few years, making it my most-watched KZread vid. Love Nordhavn and what they build for purpose.

Beautiful experience being on the sea in the Norhavn 120. A healthy respect also for the ABS/Ordinaries who kept her safe for the journey.

What a marvelous boat and wonderful journey, thank you let us share.

I'm back to watch this video again. I love this ocean crossing. It's a dream of mine. I know how difficult it can be, but boy, this is what an adventure is like. Thanks again for posting!

look up the article on how garbage this boat was when they delivered it

It must feel acomplishing. Not only to build something so Grand, but then to navigate it through the different element's without any major problems. That really speaks of the craftsmanship, & engineering that you guys put into the yachts that you build. I stand amazed. Congradulations or a job well done!

9 months passed and I am watching this video from beginning to end , once again . I can definitely say now, my favorite video in the whole of KZread .

The part in pacific ocean is awesome

What an amazing experience! I'd love to do the whole thing around Vancouver and Alaska. What beauty!

Wonderful video and extremely talented people involved with the entire process.

I was in Adak back in 1963 on the USS Salmon SS-573 we stopped for diesel fuel when it was a USN Naval air station then we went on patrol to monitor Russian launched missiles ... we were ten (10) miles off of Kamchatka when President Kennedy died we thought we were going to war for sure. Then we had to go back to Adak to get more fuel to return to San Diego. The trip took ten days to get there to Adak and we hit force 9 weather with fifty foot high waves. Never forget it watching your video brought all of those memories back.

Years ago I was a commercial diver based out of Duncan BC on Vancouver Island, I made the trip north to Alaska many many times with our live aboard and dive barge. It was always hurry up and get to the job site , on every trip I would say to my self “ to do this on a nice yacht and lots of time would be a dream come true “ Unfortunately I have to work to live.

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME, video! Must have been a lifetime achievement to take your family across the Pacific! So fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!!! ✌🏻

Wonderful running commentary, I enjoyed your trip as well. Thanks. It's nice to see how a trip on a boat that size would be. We've all seen boats like that and wondered what it is like. I found your explanation of navigating, with amounts of fuel, water and all the other things you needed very interesting. Great photography too, Thanks again.

Beautiful yacht. And most importantly, very capable too. Appeared to handle the big seas / swells well and proved itself as a well designed offshore cruiser. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Wonderful job on both the boat and the video. I would have enjoyed even more video and commentary. Thanks for sharing it!

Phenomenal. Thanks for inviting is along like this.

MANY THANKS for showing us a beautiful ship and a 'real' cruise experience!

Totally awesome. Made my day watching this.

looks lovely, I am now a yachtbuilder after I left Cummins in 1974, no yacht now as I suffered a stroke and zero energy to build, although I have finished the dwgs

That would be the trip of a lifetime. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and that magnificent vessel.

Such a great adventure video! Thanks for taking the time to film the journey and posting it.

We do have a 35feet Trawler in our family, but I will never be able to own a boat such as this one or, I suppose, none of Nordhavn boats in range ...but , I never watched a video longer than 5/6 minutes on KZread , and for this one, I wished it never ended, and when the end came, I felt like "i was with you" on the boat, for the whole duration of the trip! The editing, the musics, the camera angles etc, were really amazingly well done . Yes, If I would win the lottery...I know for SURE, I would buy a Nordhavn .

Very good considering you crossed the Pacific Ocean. Love all the glass with full views outside. Thanks.

Outstanding job Doug! Beautifully shot and edited, giving us a real sense of what it was like to be aboard. Must be great to meet cool people along the way and invite them aboard for a few drinks and a meal, and get in some exploration too! Note to self: must..get..120 ft..yacht ; )

Amazing video. Well edited and an extreme amount of eye candy for someone just getting into yachting.

What a fabulous, exhilarating, adventure!! Beautiful filmed!

Great film. Fascinating story. Beautiful yacht.

This was a very informative and professionaly produced video on taking a new yacht from the factory to final delivery in Vancouver. The owners's boat house was very impressive.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the voyage. I especially enjoyed your stop over on Adak. I hadn't seen that beautiful place since I was stationed there in '87 and '88. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Great job from the Nordhavn team (kudos to Doug for the capture and kudos to the engineering and PM staff).

Seen this video a few times now. Always a pleasure. Perfecty filmed and edited.

This boat is currently at the shelter island marina San Diego California! Beautiful November 11, 2018

Thank you for a really well done ,informative ,once in a lifetime trip of dreams ,I actually,with your help, sailed the yacht trip of DREAMS !

....Great job of keeping a long trip interesting. Felt like I was crew. First time for everything, my use of the word...Delightful...Thank You...A.C.Feuerhelm

Great story. I agree the COG seemed high, but there must be magic happening with such a low draft. Very curious about the stabilizer systems as a beam sea would tend to pitch that shape. Perhaps thats why you had to head further north. Beautiful boat, beautiful finish, and love the state of the art nav and engineering. Wow!!

What a beautiful boat! It must feel amazing to be the owners of such a gorgeous vessel. Although the only part of the design that I do not care for is the sectional partition rails aft. However that is my own personal preference, and not a deal breaker in the least. As I am aware that many boat owners also love this design. Ex-Navy

The "owner" of this boat you see in the video won't be enjoying it. He tried to swerve paying the proper import taxes on the thing and when he got caught, tried to dodge paying for the yacht altogether so he couldn't be held legally liable for the import duty and the potential criminal charges. The man tried to destroy the company that built the boat, failed, and had to sell it.

When you were in Adac did you refuel and if you did how much fuel and cost per gal.

Guy I worked with wanted a boat. He and I went to a boat show and I tried to hold him back but the super salesmen kept giving him beers and before I realized it, he had signed 5 papers of intent to buy on 5 boats between 30 feet and 40 feet. He ended up getting a Rinker 34. His decision maker was that it has a built in blender for margaritas and a stall shower. I just walked away. He was in it for $170,000. FULL PRICE and no freebees. He let the super salesman handle the financing. 20 year loan, and he could JUST handle the monthly payments. Then he got hit with mortgage insurance, sales tax, boat property tax, boat insurance, slip fees, monthly maintenance. Then he called me and wanted me to move his boat from the sales dock to the dock slip he had gotten. I wondered why he didn't do it and he said he tried but crashed it into another boat. Turns out he had NEVER driven a boat before and now he had a 34 footer with two HUGE engines. He eventually sold the boat three years later for about $90,000 and less than 50 hours on the engines. He had to remortgage his house to cover the loss, and go back to work out of retirement. Last I heard he had bought a big motorhome.
