FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC AND AROUND THE WORLD 

Bringing together Nordhavn owners from all corners of the Seven Seas

Welcome to the Nordhavn Owners Group (NOG)—a free, non-commercial forum dedicated to owners, captains, and former owners of Nordhavn yachts. With about 1,000 members and over two decades online, NOG is a trusted hub for sharing knowledge, solving problems, and building camaraderie among the Nordhavn community. 

Our members include hundreds of seasoned Nordhavn owners and over 20 respected marine industry experts who generously offer insights on everything from seamanship and navigation to maintenance, repairs, and living aboard. Whether you're crossing oceans or coastal cruising or just getting started, you'll find answers, advice, and friendship here.

NOG is apolitical and is moderated with one guiding principle: “What’s best for Nordhavn owners?” We encourage thoughtful posts that benefit the community and ask members to keep posts concise—especially for those with limited bandwidth.

Members can search our extensive Files and Photos archives, access the ABYC Standards and Technical Reports, and use our member database to connect and share cruising plans. Participation is optional, but engaging with the group enhances your Nordhavn experience.

To join, you must own a Nordhavn or have a signed contract (not just a letter of intent or LOI) to build a new Nordhavn. Email NOG+subscribe@groups.io with your name, email, Nordhavn model, hull number, boat name, and homeport. For verification, include the seller or broker’s email and other contact info.

NOG is not open to prospective Nordhavn buyers. For those dreaming of owning a Nordhavn, please visit the Nordhavn Dreamers Group which is sponsored by Pacific Asian Enterprises.

NOG is privately owned, unaffiliated with Pacific Asian Enterprises, and exists solely to support Nordhavn owners. Your use the group implies agreement to our Guidelines, Rules, and Terms of Service.

PLEASE TRIM YOUR POSTS! NOG goes to owners, some with limited bandwidth. Please do not copy long previous messages as part of your post, and please leave off legal boilerplate and long or business signature blocks, especially those with photos or images.

GROUP DATABASE. NOG includes a database of members and boats, and it's a good tool for telling other members who you are and where you're headed. Creating a database record is easy. And please go back, check your data, and update it regularly. To check the database, click on this link. For detailed instructions, see Using the Nordhavn Owners Group Database at Groups.io in NOG's Files.
