Migration is no longer listed for sale by JMYS
Nordhavn 68 Migration is one of the most actively cruised Nordhavns ever built. After launching and commissioning in Florida in 2010, she has lived for blue water adventure. Her original owners are a very experienced offshore powerboating couple who previously cruised a Hatteras 58 LRC and longed for a platform that would extend their cruising range and season.
Hull number 19 in the series allowed for a great collection of ideas and improvements from the earlier builds to be incorporated. The couple spent time with other Nordhavn 68 owners and cruised in excess of 2,000 NM on sister ships to consolidate their ideas. The result was a very detailed order that had many milestone improvements, many of which were integrated into later new builds.
The husband made it a point to visit the yard in Taiwan at least every other month during the build to better understand the construction and placement of equipment and systems for future servicing. This dedication to the process resulted in an exceptional boat, better informed owners and a very close relationship with the yard personnel that is very rare.
For great assistance in getting the equipment selections right and confirming the correctness and quality of the build, Steve D’Antonio was hired due to his technical expertise. Steve has been involved in the legacy of Migration from the days of signing a contract, through construction in to Taiwan, during commissioning in Florida and as an invited aboard guest many times.
Migration was delivered offshore in the Bahamas during the December 2010 holiday season and immediately prepared for adventuresome travel as 2011 rung in the new year.
Migration has lived up to her name and covered the US east coast several times. One particularly memorable trip was when the owners and a small team of engineers from the Ta Shing yard in Taiwan participated as crew on a run from North Carolina to Florida - the first time at sea on one of the boats they build for these skilled craftsmen from the factory. This type of connection between owner and yard has remained close and is one of the reasons Migration is now for sale as a new Nordhavn 68 to bear the same name is completing construction.

![$2,995,000 YACHT TOUR: Nordhavn 68 "Hokulani" in Seattle, WA [MV FREEDOM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kdSbHFM1wms/mqdefault.jpg)
Jeff that’s one of the most beautiful boats you have shown. It’s beautiful! Made really perfect. Good video.
Eli: Thank you very much, she really is an exceptional Nordhavn!
Thank you for the tour. Love touches of the Nordhavn design: galley on the starboard side (head on the port side), berth/head behind the pilot house, and when you can find it twin main engines
Owl: Thank you for watching and your comments
very good pitch, without anoyance. good info properly related and pertinent. thank you.
James: Thank you James!
I can just hear Nick Burnham if he was doing the walkthrough. "Classic Nordhavn" 😂
Alex: You (and Nick) would be right! Really an exceptional Nordhavn. Thanks for your note.
My absolute fav Nord! The new 68’s are killer, but I’d be looking at a 2010 or so, for affordability. I’m so close! Just retired and getting used to being a “pensioner” but an older 68 is doable for me. I’ve just moved to the west coast of Canada but will happily sell my new home for the right Nord 68!
Peace.
Guitars! Thank you, great boats. Please contact me directly 949.355.4950 or email Jeff@JMYS.com to discuss
Thank you for the tour. Great looking yacht. Why does Nordhavn continue to stick with one main engine, the rule for ocean crossing is two.
Owl: Thank you, she is a wonderful Nordhavn 68. More single engine Nordhavns (recreational trawlers) have crossed oceans than all other similar class production models combined (OK, I don't have the actual factual on that, but I would challenge anyone to dispute this). They are reliable, robust and well designed. The back up wing engine is there if needed. Maybe breaking the "rules" changes the standards? Thank you for watching.
They build a well thought out boat. I am not able to but one but I appreciate the design placed in one. Nordhaven sounds like built in Norway or Sweden but understand orgin
Richard: Great boats. This one was built in Taiwan. There is a Nordhavn harbor in Denmark, but the company is based in California.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Nordhavn is a Chinese front. Sold to the devils no?
@@chipdouglaschipdouglas Nordhavn (PAE) is an American design and marketing company who partners with builders to build their boats. The Nordhavn 68 is actually built in Taiwan. Others are built in China and Turkey.
Nice ,I'm in a dream.
TMWNM: Don't wake up, this is a great place to be stuck!
I don't understand why the 57' has a captains quarters behind the bridge, but the 68', 11 foot longer, has only a day bed.
Falney: A lot of choices for the original buyer. I think you may be referring to the 55 with the captain cabin? One of the fun parts of building new is making selections to use the space the way you think is best.
@@JeffMerrillYachts I'm looking at buying a boat. I'd love to buy new then I can make the choice. Money isn't the thing restricting me from doing so, my patience is. :) that and I have no experience. I could buy a second hand boat tomorrow and crash it the next day, or buying a brand new one and crashing it next year.
@@Falney Good thing about buying a Nordhavn is they will take you through the operations of each part of your new ship. At least that's what they said in other videos. Then you can crash it after you supposedly know what you're doing. Anyway if you feel you need it have a crew run your ship for you and you can blame someone else. I myself would want a small enough ship to run it myself. That means about 55 ft length maximum I feel.
@@sparkyguitar0058 from what I understand, 55-65 is pretty much the safe limit for a solo Dock. But I'm not experienced.
I've still not picked a boat. Looked at lots, but not committed yet.
I like the nordhavn boats, but if I was to solo, I think I'd go with a steel Hull that way it will be the Dock and everyone else's boats that will sink and not mine when I inevitably plough bow in to a wooden Dock.
I'm going to hire a captain for the first year.
@@Falney Your 1st comment made me laugh but this 1 I spit up drink up my nose. You should be a comedian. You know you'll be alright. Your smart enough to make the money to afford this floating bathtub your smart enough not to sink it. Also Nordhavn are 6 in thick at the hull line. Would even take a direct hit on the rocks and not sink. You will be able to break docks and other boats. Steel will rip, remember the Titanic !
l'm very liked Nordhawn 68" trawler. But, as a Explorer Yacht Passionist my favorite yatch USA built MOLOKAl STRAlT Explorer Yacht 68"
Akin: Thanks for your comment. There are a lot of great trawlers to choose from and it's always great to see someone with a favorite, nice choice!
👍
Thank you Don!

Thank you Don!
Never heard a saloon called a salon before. Is that unique to boating?
Tsunauticus: I pronounce it salon, but spell it saloon. One of those wonderful boating terms that has different ways of talking about the same thing.
Its an American thing, like aluminium, and color.
@@melvynjerrim8279 ohhh. Interesting! Thanks
Where is the size limit, when you need a crew?
Bert: It's the captain's license that is the requirement. Generally around 70' you need a credential, it depends upon which state, country, etc. Most Nordhavns under 86' are owner operated, but often one or both of the couple do have a captain's license.
@@JeffMerrillYachts what is the range of this boat?
@@rahulkrish9840 I Wondered That
@@rahulkrish9840 the range should be somewhere between 3000 to 3500 nautical miles at 7-8 knots.
Two considerations: legal requirements and owner capabilities/needs. Legal requirements vary country to country, state to state. Where I live basically anything under 24 meters in length can be operated by any competent 15 year old, at least if not sailing abroad. Longer than 24 meters a skipper's licence in needed for everybody actually handling the boat. Nordhavn owners typically do not have a full crew in boats under 80 feet, maybe just an engineer/captain because the maintenance takes a lot of time and and some expertise.
Simply calling a Nordhavn a "boat," somehow seems like an insult. They're more works of art, mechanical marvels, or perhaps floating wonders of the world.
Escape: I hear you, and yacht sounds too elitist. When you know the build, have been aboard and are comfortable it is just a boat. A great boat, but simply a boat
Price
Khalid: We do not have the boat listed for sale now. We don’t publish price on videos as the video is permanent, but the price may change. If you would like to correspond directly, my email is Jeff@JMYS.com, thank you.
Around $4M new, pre-owned like this maybe $2M+
👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Zoza: Thank you!
Jeff always neglects to state the horsepower ratings of the engines and the range
Matt: Not always, the technical (and important details) specifications are too much information for many viewers so we publish that on JMYS.com for those people who are interested.
@@JeffMerrillYachts it is not to much info just to give some of the basic spec’s. Max speed, cruise speed, range etc…..
@@danielponton1075 We do include a summary of the general specifications, we can look into adding some fuel burn calculations, thanks!
You should put up a stat sheet. We can pause and read. Then know and not walk away wondering. Thanks
Why do all these yacht-for-sale video tours require viewers to perform annoying web searches rather than just mentioning the asking price?
Coogan: This boat sold. The price can change, but you don't change the video. If you are curious it doesn't matter, if you are serious you will look up and get the price, more photos, full details, etc.
