Nordhavn has unveiled the new N100, a long-range expedition yacht that builds on the success of the builder’s N96 while adding greater volume, expanded outdoor spaces and enhanced livability.

At 100 feet overall, the N100 represents an evolution of the California builder’s established passagemaking formula. The design retains the seaworthy, ocean-crossing capabilities that have defined the Nordhavn brand, while incorporating practical updates aimed at improving onboard comfort and functionality.

According to Nordhavn, the N100 gains both length and usable volume through the addition of a larger traditional cockpit and fully extended side decks. Those changes are intended to create more generous exterior spaces for entertaining, relaxing and line handling, while also allowing for expanded accommodations and interior common areas.

The yacht’s lineage traces directly to the Nordhavn 96, a model known for combining serious long-range cruising credentials with a highly livable onboard experience. With the N100, the builder appears to be refining that concept for owners seeking even more space without compromising the engineering and safety standards expected of a true expedition yacht.

While additional technical specifications have not yet been released, the N100 is positioned squarely within Nordhavn’s tradition of globe-capable yachts designed for extended independent cruising.
