Norseman N480

The Norseman yachts consist of classic sedans and contemporary pilothouse yachts. The classic sedans range from 45' to 56' in length. Currently we offer 3 models: N450, N480 and N560. The new pilot house models range from 65' to 95' in length. These new yachts have beautiful lines and graceful curves while cleverly maximizing the utilization of available interior space; even on the sky lounge models, the enclosed hardtop on the fly bridge is part of the design element rather than an ugly add-on on an existing fly bridge model. We verified our design with computer simulation and with a scaled model in the test tank at B.C. lab. Our design team also spec. out correct engines, generators, windlass, and pumps, electrical & mechanical components that meet the requirements of our vessels from proven and reputable manufacture. We also perform accurate engineering studies which include detailed weight calculations that account for weight & location of all components that engineered into the vessel. Our passion in creating fine yachts is reflected in every aspect of your Norseman. From the past sailing yachts to the new pilot house motor yachts, they all serve as convincing evidence of Norseman's pursuit of excellence in design and construction and our desire and determination to continue our heritage & passion in creating the finest yachts.
