Nordhavn N86

A true example of global passagemaking pedigree, Salvatore II embodies Nordhavn’s renowned craftsmanship, long-range capability, and rugged elegance. Purpose-built for extended cruising in comfort and safety, this impressive 86-foot expedition motor yacht has just completed a major 2025 refit that refreshed her inside and out, presenting in exceptional condition and ready to embark on her next adventure.

Stepping aboard, the teak-laid swim platform immediately sets the tone for quality and attention to detail. Polished stainless-steel railings frame the space and integrate 8 rod holders, with an additional 10 neatly positioned along the transom for dedicated anglers. Teak steps on both port and starboard sides lead up to the expansive cockpit, where the teak continues seamlessly underfoot. An aft fixed settee wraps a handsome timber dining table and is complemented by director’s chairs, creating an inviting setting for alfresco meals or sunset aperitifs, all shaded on demand by a removable awning. To port, a built-in BBQ and sink make outdoor entertaining effortless, while a convenient day head, set off the starboard side deck, is perfectly placed for quick use after a swim so there’s no need to head inside. Wide teak side decks on both sides lead safely forward, ensuring surefooted movement around the yacht.

Through sliding glass doors, the saloon greets you with generous volume and warmth. Panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting beautiful joinery and elegant furnishings. A large chaise-style sofa is set to port, with additional armchairs opposite around a refined coffee table, and a large Samsung TV immediately to starboard stands ready for movie nights or relaxed entertainment at anchor. Forward, the formal dining area comfortably seats eight, while opposite a sociable bar anchors the space with shelving for spirits and glassware and a substantial refrigeration suite comprising two Vintec wine fridges and two Dometic beverage fridges. Direct side-deck access here allows guests to drift effortlessly between indoors and out.

Forward of the dining area, the galley aboard Salvatore II is a chef’s domain designed for both performance and conversation. A breakfast bar with three stools invites casual bites and convivial moments, while premium appliances elevate every culinary task: an upright Sub-Zero fridge/freezer with built-in ice maker, a Sub-Zero freezer with a second built-in ice maker, a Miele induction cooktop, dual Miele ovens, and a Miele dishwasher. Thoughtfully laid out with plentiful counter space and abundant storage, the galley achieves the ideal balance of practicality and social connection to the main deck.

Guest accommodation is arranged to maximize comfort and privacy. To port of the galley, a staircase descends to a versatile guest cabin featuring a three-quarter double bed, a Samsung TV, and a vessel monitoring system—equally suitable as a captain’s cabin if desired—complete with a private ensuite and separate shower. To starboard of the galley, a second staircase leads to the principal guest area, where a spacious mid-level VIP suite offers a queen bed, generous storage, and a private ensuite. Continuing to the lower accommodation deck, two additional guest cabins await, each configurable as either twin singles or a double and each with its own private ensuite. All guest cabins are equipped with Samsung TVs to ensure seamless entertainment throughout. Forward of these cabins lies a dedicated utility room with separate washer and dryer, a sink, ample storage, and hanging space—an invaluable asset for extended voyaging.

From the galley, an internal staircase leads up to the commanding pilothouse. Twin Stidd helm chairs face a professionally equipped navigation console centered on supersized Furuno multifunction displays and a comprehensive Furuno electronics suite. Port and starboard pilothouse doors provide immediate deck access for docking or fresh air, while an inviting L-shaped seating area with a table aft of the helm forms a relaxed observation or social zone. For assured comfort in any sea state, Salvatore II is equipped with ABT TRAC Zero Speed Fin Stabilisers and American bow and stern thrusters, delivering composed handling underway and reassuring stability at anchor.

Directly aft of the pilothouse, the owner’s stateroom creates a private sanctuary. Entering, the ensuite to port features dual sinks and a large separate shower. The full-beam suite centers on a king-size island bed framed by finely crafted timberwork and bathed in natural light, with a drop-down Samsung TV seamlessly integrated for in-cabin entertainment. Perhaps most special of all, a private terrace extends aft from the suite, complete with a removable shade awning and two sun lounges—an intimate retreat for morning coffee, quiet reading, or simply taking in the sea’s panoramic sweep.

Forward of the pilothouse, two wing control stations enable precise maneuvering with excellent sightlines down either side of the yacht. A comfortable bench seat creates a scenic perch, and steps lead down to the teak-laid foredeck. Here, a MarQuipt davit handles tender operations with ease, while the robust ground tackle—dual plough-type anchors serviced by Maxwell windlasses—stands ready for secure holding in diverse anchorages.

Returning inside, an internal staircase from the pilothouse ascends to the flybridge, where twin Stidd helm chairs with footrests are complemented by a Furuno navigation suite. Three-sided clears provide protection while preserving open views, and central bench seating with a hi/lo table converts easily into a daybed. The teak-laid deck lends a luxurious tactile feel, while a sink and additional rod holders make this elevated space equally suited to relaxation, entertaining, or light sportfishing.

Crew quarters are accessed from the cockpit via a door to port near the saloon entrance. This well-designed domain features a compact kitchenette with a bar fridge, a Sharp microwave, and a sink. Two cabins provide privacy and comfort for extended passages: one with a double berth and a Hisense TV, and a second with a single berth. A head with shower ensures dedicated facilities for the team. Aft of the crew area, the spacious lazarette—also accessible via a hatch through the cockpit sole—offers generous storage for water toys, fenders, lines, and other cruising essentials, keeping decks clear and organized. Both the lazarette and engine room doors are stainless steel, underscoring Salvatore II’s uncompromising build quality.

Beyond lies the heart of the yacht: a meticulously maintained engine room housing twin MTU Series 60 engines rated at 600 hp each, twin Onan 40 kW generators, and Parker Village Marine and Stella Marine water makers. The space is clean, well-lit, and intelligently arranged for access, complete with a workbench above the generators and room to move—hallmarks of Nordhavn’s thoughtful engineering.

Salvatore II stands as a remarkable long-range motor yacht that blends expedition capability with refined luxury. With her 2025 refit, generous accommodation plan, and robust systems, she delivers true go-anywhere confidence without compromising comfort or style—a vessel that invites you to explore the world’s oceans in elegance, safety, and total peace of mind.
