Take 5 - Nordhavn FOR SALE

Trades Considered and Financing Available

Take 5 was conceived to roam the globe in lavish comfort, with safety and redundancy always paramount. Delivered in 2009 and outfitted with premium components throughout, she showcases a bespoke interior plan that created an exceptionally large and opulent lower-deck VIP by reversing the spiral staircases that rise from the guest cabins to the raised pilothouse. This custom arrangement also unlocked expansive pantry spaces on the main deck beside the galley, underscoring the yacht’s remarkable storage capacity.

Step through the aft salon doors and you’re greeted by bright, airy volumes and an effortless flow that elevates life aboard. Her engineering spaces were designed for true bluewater dependability, featuring the assurance of twin engines and triple generators, plus layered backups across critical systems. The bridge and electronics suite are on par with a serious Expedition Yacht and Passagemaker, with multiple redundancies and a series of updates completed since launch.

Having comfortably cruised both coasts—most extensively along the Eastern Seaboard—this Luxury Motor Yacht and Long-Range Trawler-style Explorer Yacht has proven range, efficiency, and composure at sea. A capable ocean-going Pilothouse Motor Yacht with a Raised Pilothouse design, Take 5 has been meticulously cared for and stands ready for her next adventure.

Salon & galley

The main salon aboard Take 5 is an open, airy expanse with panoramic sightlines and a refined ambiance defined by satin‑varnished teak joinery. A top‑of‑the‑line audio/visual system sets the tone for film nights and sophisticated entertaining, while the loose furniture plan gives a new owner remarkable freedom: the sofa and chairs can be repositioned or customized to suit personal taste. The result is a genuinely open, convivial gathering space that invites conversation and relaxation. Flowing forward, the galley is a gourmet chef’s dream, appointed with premium appliances, abundant counter space for effortless prep, and a wealth of smart storage. Open to the salon, it keeps the chef at the heart of the action, ensuring every moment—from aperitif to dessert—feels connected and social.

Accommodations & laundry room

The owner’s stateroom on Take 5 is a full‑beam sanctuary finished in rich satin‑gloss teak, its generous volume enhanced by meticulously planned storage that outclasses many homes—multiple hanging lockers and several banks of drawers ensure everything has its place. A king‑size berth anchors the space, while opening portlights and overhead hatches welcome natural light and fresh air. Teak‑framed shoji panels on sliding tracks veil the portlights on both port and starboard, delivering complete privacy at a touch. The owner’s head is notably expansive, with abundant storage, a bathtub, a dedicated vanity, and separate shower and toilet areas. For your most important guests, the lower‑deck VIP stateroom is a true retreat, centered on a full walk‑around queen berth, with a hanging locker, drawer storage, and satin‑finished teak bulkheads. Shoji panels again provide privacy over the portlights, while opening portlights and a fresh‑air blower ensure excellent ventilation. The VIP head is uniquely spacious, featuring a large bathtub, a separate shower, and ample room to move with ease. A secondary guest cabin on the lower deck offers a large custom‑size berth, satin‑gloss teak bulkheads, and portlights that bathe the space in natural light; opening portlights and a fresh‑air blower deliver superb airflow. This cabin is also appointed with a private full head with shower, making it a thoroughly comfortable guest haven. Completing the accommodations, Take 5 includes a dedicated laundry room fitted with a front‑loading freezer and extra storage, and this area also provides secure access to the engine room through a watertight door.

Pilothouse

The pilothouse of Take 5 carries an electronics and navigation suite typically reserved for far larger superyachts, delivering seamless safety and comfort. From the two Stidd helm chairs, every essential control on the thoughtfully laid‑out dash falls easily to hand, while guests enjoy a commanding, unobstructed panorama from the elevated settee. A drinks fridge integrated into the settee keeps night‑watch refreshments within reach without leaving the helm. Generous stowage swallows gear and charts, and just aft lie the captain’s cabin and a full head with shower, rounding out a true long‑range command center.

Electronics and navigation equipment

At the heart of the helm, four Seatronix nineteen‑inch touchscreen monitors pair with one Seatronix twenty‑four‑inch touchscreen, supported by a Class B AIS system and two Simrad AP50 autopilot heads in the pilothouse. Precision control comes via Simrad FU50 follow‑up levers at the pilothouse, the wing stations, the flybridge, and the cockpit station, complemented by Simrad R135 rudder‑angle indicators in the pilothouse and on the flybridge. Signaling is authoritative through a Kahlenberg M115C/D horn control panel in the pilothouse with push‑button horn controls at all exterior stations, while a Carlisle & Finch searchlight is directed from both the pilothouse and flybridge. Communications are reinforced by two Icom VHF radios and a Furuno SC‑702 satellite unit. Three Furuno instrument panels reside in the pilothouse, with a powerful Furuno twenty‑five‑kilowatt open‑array radar and a Furuno twelve‑kilowatt open‑array radar added in 2023. Also new in 2023 are the Nobeltec TZ Pro V5 navigation system, a Furuno HUB101, a Nobeltec depth sounder, MapMedia Bahamas and Caribbean vector and raster charts, a Furuno BBDS1 depth sounder, a Furuno GP330B NMEA2000 GPS antenna, and a Furuno F170 color LCD instrument display. Weather and awareness are elevated by an Airmar 220WX NMEA weather‑station antenna and a FLIR M364C dual‑payload 640 thermal camera with two control stations, both added in 2023. Connectivity comes courtesy of a Peplink Balance 20 WAN router serving as Starlink, Pepwave, and Wi‑Fi source selector, plus Iridium Go with external antenna and a Starlink high‑performance antenna, all added in 2023. A Panasonic camera system blankets the yacht with coverage—two cameras in the engine room, two in the lazarette, two in the cockpit, one aft of the pilothouse, one on the starboard side deck, and one on the stack—monitored by a dedicated Dell computer. Further refinements include two VH7 HTS domes, a Nordhavn‑designed porthole open/close monitoring system, Bose Lifestyle systems in both pilothouse and salon, Apple TVs, and a fifteen‑inch monitor on the flybridge dash. All televisions throughout the yacht were renewed in 2023, and the owner’s suite TV now has direct access to the navigation system.

Mechanical systems

Propulsion is entrusted to twin Cummins QSM11 engines rated at 355 hp each, showing 7,376 hours to port and 7,348 hours to starboard, delivering a range of 3,000 miles at 8 kts and 3,900 miles at 7 kts. Twin Disc main‑engine controls are installed at six locations—flybridge, pilothouse, port and starboard wing stations, cockpit wing station, and in the engine room—while dual Racor fuel filters protect the main engines and single Racors serve the wing engine and generators. The ABT TRAC hydraulic system drives a 50 hp bow thruster, a 38 hp stern thruster, a hydraulic anchor‑wash pump, a hydraulic emergency bilge pump, and dual hydraulic Maxwell VWC‑4500 windlasses, and ABT TRAC #370 stabilizers with 16 sq. ft. fins keep the ride composed. An oil‑change system services all engines and generators. Compressed air is supplied off the Kahlenberg horn compressor with quick‑disconnect fittings on the foredeck, in the cockpit, and in the engine room, and a Bauer Junior II dive compressor stands ready for underwater pursuits. Engine‑room and lazarette ventilation fans are controlled from the pilothouse. Fresh water pressure is assured by a Headhunter Mach 5 120 VAC pump with a Headhunter X‑Caliber 24 VDC backup. For autonomy, two Village Marine 800 GPD watermakers with remote panels pair with a Village Marine (Parker) VMS‑12 UV sterilizer for the freshwater system, and domestic hot water comes from a 50‑gallon Torrid heater with upper and lower elements. Safety systems include a Seafire fire‑suppression system and handheld extinguishers placed throughout all cabins and areas. Steering is by Kobelt hydraulic gear, with a stainless‑steel emergency tiller arm stowed in the lazarette, and both main engines run Tidewater shaft seals. Signaling is via the Kahlenberg horn and compressor system. The engine room is air‑conditioned by its own HVAC unit, and a Marquipt 2,500‑pound telescoping davit handles tender operations with ease.

Electrical systems

Electrical power is comprehensive and redundant, beginning with three generators: an Onan 32 kW 240 VAC 60 Hz single‑phase unit showing 7,743 hours, a Northern Lights 25 kW 240 VAC 60 Hz single‑phase unit showing 4,348 hours, and a Northern Lights 20 kW 240 VAC 60 Hz single‑phase unit showing 4,352 hours. Generator control panels are centralized at the main electrical panel in the salon area. Onboard systems operate at 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 120 VAC, and 240 VAC single phase, supported by two Outback 3,500‑watt inverters and one Victron Skylla 100 battery charger feeding Lifeline house batteries. Individual parallel battery switches enable flexible cross‑connects for engines and generators. An ASEA 25 kVA shore‑power converter allows effortless connection to either 50 Hz or 60 Hz shore power, and twin stern shore‑cord connections use Glendinning retrieval systems for tidy handling.

Flybridge

Elevated and purposeful, the flybridge features an FRP hardtop with LED lighting and non‑skid on top, shading a protected electronics dash with cover. Helm ergonomics are assured with main‑engine and wing‑engine controls, ABT Trac controls, bow and stern thruster controls, Simrad autopilot, FFU steering, and a compass, all flanked by two Stidd 500N Slimline helm chairs. An FRP table anchors the inviting U‑shaped settee, with locker storage close at hand. Entertaining is effortless thanks to a Gaggenau fifteen‑inch electric BBQ concealed beneath a hinged protective FRP console lid, while a generous sundeck aft of the flybridge and non‑skid decking throughout underline outdoor living at its finest.

Mid-deck and Portuguese bridge

Mid‑deck freedom meets expedition practicality under LED lighting, with two six‑man liferafts and a Lifesling III mounted on the rails. Port and starboard control stations put main‑engine controls, thruster controls, engine start/stop buttons, and FUU steering at your fingertips, while locker storage lines both sides of the Portuguese bridge. A dedicated gasoline storage tank with electric pump and nozzle streamlines fueling of tenders and toys.

Foredeck

Purpose‑built and practical, the foredeck carries non‑skid decking and six Lewmar deck hatches that flood the master cabin and head with light. An alcove provides connections for compressed air and fresh water, and a pair of eighteen‑inch Freeman hatches grant direct access to the anchor‑chain lockers. Ground tackle is truly expedition‑grade: two Maxwell 4500 hydraulic windlasses feed 400 feet of half‑inch galvanized high‑test anchor chain per side, renewed in 2021, to two 300‑pound galvanized Aritex plow anchors. A Marquipt folding ladder simplifies boarding the tender alongside, and a Marquipt 2,500‑pound telescoping davit stands ready for robust handling.

Cockpit & swimstep

In the cockpit, non‑skid decking sets a confident footing around a Maxwell 2500 electric capstan and a dedicated control station with main‑engine controls, thruster controls, horn, engine start/stop buttons, and underwater‑lights control. A Gaggenau fifteen‑inch electric BBQ hides neatly beneath a hinged protective FRP console lid, while an alcove offers quick connections for compressed air and fresh water. The varnished teak cap‑rail, an aft settee with teak table, and fitted covers complete a space equally suited to passage‑making or leisurely alfresco dining. On the swimstep, shore‑power cords for house and HVAC are each handled by Glendinning retrieval systems, an alcove with locker door conceals a fresh‑water hot‑and‑cold shower, the extended platform invites effortless water access, and underwater lights in the transom set the scene after sunset.
