Overview
The pioneer of the pleasure-tug industry, Nordic Tugs has offered the discerning cruiser high-quality yachts for more than a quarter century.
Handcrafted in the United States of America, Nordic Tugs undergo extensive quality assurance checks and every boat is taken through a full day sea trial to ensure a quality finished product is delivered to each customer.
Every Nordic tug is backed by our exclusive gold standard warranty, which provides one year stem to stern coverage and warrants the hull for a full 10 years against both structural failure and osmotic blistering.
Distinctive styling, quality construction and legendary sea keeping abilities have made Nordic Tugs a modern cruising classic.
Few trawler style yachts available today can match up to the Nordic tug 44, with its remarkable seaworthiness, rugged construction and long list of thoughtful interior and exterior features developed with the cruising boater in mind.
Recent Service Notes
Nordic Explorer, our inventory NT 44 was hulled and had a complete new bottom paint process applied this included sanding off original factory bottom paint, sanding the gel coat, applying two coats of Inter Protect 2000 barrier coat and two coats of Trinidad Pro bottom paint. Prop speed was applied to the running gear.
Bennett trim tabs were added and the entire vessel was compounded and waxed. She’s definitely a better boat today then the day she arrived from the factory.
Pilothouse
The Nordic Tug 44 pilothouse features comfortable lounge areas, full 360 degree views and direct access to the decks from both sides of the vessel. The roomy recessed helm station features a large ship style wheel, chart table with drawers and lots of room for all of the latest electronics.
Salon
Just steps away from the pilot house is a well-appointed salon with teak entertainment center, 20 inch flat panel TV and Bose sound system that adds to the enjoyment of any day - or night. A comfortable settee with under-seat storage that converts to an additional berth, and the well-equipped u-shaped galley features a full size AC/DC refrigerator/freezer, electric range, microwave oven, and trash compactor. Corian counter tops and handcrafted Sapele Mahogany cabinetry are used throughout and a choice of four interior packages are available for owners looking to personalize their interior decor options.
Master Stateroom
The comfortable master stateroom features a queen sized bed with ample storage, including hanging locker and drawer space for extended cruising.
Navigation System
The navigation station is located off the companion way and provides a comfortable seat and chart table with convenient access to all power distribution panels.

Power Station
Powered by a single 600HP CUMMINS electronic control, diesel engine, the Nordic Tugs 44 offers top speed approximately 18.5 knots, with an economical cruising range of reportedly 1900 nautical miles, making her the ideal boat for cruising both inland and coastal waters. Inside and out, the Nordic Tugs 44 offers the freedom, security, and comfort to take you just about anywhere you want to go.
Patented Hull Design
Nordic Tugs are known for their seaworthiness, comfort, stability, and efficiency. These traits are due to her unique hull design. The Company has been designing hulls since 1980 and they have refined semi-displacement hulls that are fast and fuel efficient. This has resulted in an incredible hull that provides a quiet, comfortable ride. With a single diesel engine, Nordic Tugs gives you the fuel economy of a displacement hull, with speeds far greater than a displacement hull can achieve.
Nordic Hull Characteristics
- A fine-entry bow provides a quiet dry ride in adverse weather conditions.
- Her full keel improves tracking and reduces drift when maneuvering.
- Hard chines reduce roll, increase efficiency, and add to the inherently stable ride.
- The molded mid guard adds strength to an already solid hull.
- A flared hull helps keep the boat dry.
- A heavy-duty stainless steel shoe protects the propeller and rudder.
- A round-reverse transom adds strength and helps shed water in a heavy following sea.
