Nordhavn 55 "Moana Kuewa"

DESCRIPTION:
“MV Moana Kuewa” (Tahitian for “Ocean Wanderer”) is truly one of the best examples of a well maintained vessel we have had the pleasure of listing for sale. Her owner, Captain Christine Bauman has maintained complete control of the building process, which has stamped this vessel with her exacting standards, from the early planning stages, through numerous factory inspections during the build process. These factory visits ensured complete familiarization with the vessel from the keel to the flybridge stack, and with the assistance of her highly skilled crew, the vessel has been meticulously maintained to absolutely the highest standards. MV Moana Kuewa presents in AS NEW condition. “MV Moana Kuewa” has been fitted for World cruising without regard to cost, and is equipped with a comprehensive set of the very best of boat systems & the latest Navigation aids, most of which have been duplicated & and are capable of being replaced whilst the vessel is still underway, so avoiding unnecessary Port delays. From the moment you step aboard you will be impressed with the specially chosen Cherry wood timber fit out, complemented by the tastefully chosen fittings & appointments which we believe place “MV Moana Kuewa” in the “best of breed” category. And guaranteed to impress the most discerning Nordhavn 55 buyer.
Pressing family commitments for her owner and crew now mean that “MV Moana Kuewa” is very reluctantly offered for sale.
Why not take time for a leisurely browse through this vessel’s impressive Inventory & photo Gallery & see for yourself why “MV Moana Kuewa” is such a special Nordhavn 55.
