Owner Experience Review

Owners consistently run the 5700 ExpeditionfromNORTHERN MARINEas an owner-operator platform, with the single John Deere main delivering quiet, confident operation. Sea-trial notes cite "seakindly manners and maneuverability," and the ride is widely described as stable and dry thanks to high bulwarks, a bulbous bow, and stabilizers. Typical displacement performance is about 8–9 kt at cruise with roughly 10+ kt at the top.

Real-world use spans extended family cruising to multi-day/overseas passages, with many boats carrying a RIB on the boat deck with a davit for shore runs. Interiors support long stays aboard: common plans offer two or three cabins—often a midship king master with forward guest stateroom(s)—plus a pilothouse observation lounge with a pilot berth for watchkeeping. Later hulls are noted for a full-beam salon with generous headroom and high-quality joinery (reviewers point to book-matched walnut), and the galley sits by the salon with a convertible settee/dining area.

Engine-room ergonomics get positive marks, with reports of roughly 6'6" standing headroom and easy inspection access. Owners and brokers frequently document refreshes—electronics, A/C compressors, batteries, and genset work—and older boats should be inspected for window/window‑seal leaks in heavy rain or rough seas. An owner post notes "Raven" has logged over 12,000 miles and 1,600 hours, underscoring the model’s real-world passagemaking profile.

Pros and Cons

• Designed for owner-operator long-range cruising with single-engine passage-making, typically cruising around 8–9 kt and reaching ~10+ kt.
• Stable, dry ride and confident handling credited to high bulwarks, bulbous bow, stabilizers, and a quiet-running John Deere main.
• Liveaboard-friendly interiors with two- or three-cabin layouts, a pilothouse lounge with pilot berth, and on later hulls a full-beam salon with quality joinery.
• Reports of window/window‑seal leaks in heavy rain or rough seas on older boats warrant careful inspection.
• Routine genset and electrical upkeep is common, with many owners refreshing electronics, A/C compressors, and batteries.
• Layout and salon beam vary by hull generation, so buyers should verify whether a given boat has the later wide-body/full-beam salon.
