The 86′ Nordhavn, delivered by Moran Yacht & Ship to her owner in 2008, represents a pinnacle of luxury and engineering in the world of expedition yachts. Known as VOLGA, this vessel embodies the robust design and superior craftsmanship that Nordhavn is celebrated for. The Nordhavn 86 model, with its impressive 24-foot beam and full load displacement of over 400,000 pounds, is designed to offer unparalleled stability and comfort on long ocean passages.
Like other Nordhavn 86 yachts, VOLGA features an aft wheelhouse configuration, which enhances visibility and comfort at sea. This design allows for a spacious foredeck capable of accommodating tenders up to 20 feet. The yacht’s interior is equally impressive, with a saloon and galley stretching 36 feet in length, providing ample space for relaxation and entertainment.
The master cabin, occupying the vessel’s forward section, offers a luxurious retreat with its full-width layout. In addition to the master suite, VOLGA includes three guest staterooms, each with ensuite heads, ensuring privacy and comfort for all aboard. The captain’s cabin and sky lounge, combined with the wheelhouse, span nearly 30 feet, creating a functional and elegant space for navigation and leisure.
Built with a fiberglass hull and finished with a high-gloss Alexseal paint job, VOLGA boasts a sleek appearance and ensures durability and ease of maintenance. The yacht’s advanced systems and sophisticated construction features make it a standout in the megayacht market, reflecting Nordhavn’s commitment to quality and innovation.
In summary, VOLGA is a testament to Nordhavn’s expertise in creating luxurious, reliable, and capable expedition yachts. This vessel continues to offer its owners exceptional experiences on the water, combining elegance with robust performance.
Moran Yacht & Ship negotiated the build contract for VOLGA, wrote the technical specifications and managed the entire build process for the vessel. Our team was by the owner’s side from concept well through completion.
