BLACK MAGIC - Nordic Tugs FOR SALE

37' Semi-Displacement Pilothouse Cruiser — Vancouver Island, BC

Gracefully combining Nordic Tug pedigree with purposeful coastal capability, this 2001, 37-foot pilothouse cruiser is a well-equipped and carefully maintained example of what Pacific Northwest mariners prize most: efficiency, comfort, and unwavering confidence at sea. Moored on Vancouver Island with moorage available, she’s poised for weekends away or seasons of exploration along British Columbia’s spectacular coastline.

Her semi-displacement hull delivers a sweet-spot cruise around 10 knots and the ability to stretch to approximately 17 knots when the itinerary calls, all driven by a single Cummins inboard diesel renowned for reliability, economy, and simple service. The robust fiberglass build and thoughtful deck ergonomics inspire surefooted movement fore and aft, while substantial rails and a secure cockpit make line handling and quiet evenings at anchor a pleasure.

Inside, the atmosphere is bright and warmly inviting, with generous windows that frame the scenery and flood the salon with natural light. The layout is designed for real cruising: a practical galley that encourages proper meals, abundant stowage for extended voyages, and a quiet, private stateroom complemented by an enclosed head with shower. The elevated pilothouse is the heart of the boat—commanding sightlines, comfortable companion seating, and a helm that’s configured for long, relaxed passages. Thoughtful systems and sound attenuation help keep conversation easy under way, while the abundant tankage—approximately 320 gallons of diesel and 144 gallons of fresh water—supports longer legs between stops and comfortable time off the grid.

Whether your ambitions lean toward serene Gulf Island anchorages, remote Desolation Sound inlets, or comfortable liveaboard life, this yacht rises to the moment with the assurance of a proven hull form and the simplicity and economy of single-diesel cruising. She presents as a well-cared-for vessel throughout, reflecting conscientious ownership and the easy grace of a yacht meant to be used and enjoyed.

37 Nordic Tug

With more than 200 built, the Nordic Tug 37 stands among the most sought-after midsize cruisers. For many owners it is the ideal boat for an active retirement, combining easy handling, notable fuel efficiency and the volume to make extended cruising genuinely comfortable. She is founded on a solid-fiberglass, semi-displacement hull with a moderate beam and a full keel that shields the propeller. The raised-pilothouse layout places two staterooms forward, featuring an island berth in the master and over/under berths in the guest cabin, while the full-beam salon flows openly to both the pilothouse and cockpit. In the salon, a thoughtfully arranged galley includes a full-size refrigerator, and the portside L-shaped leather settee converts to a double berth after dark. Finishing details elevate the experience, from hardwood interior flooring to a capacious cockpit lazarette, plus a transom door and the confidence of a bow thruster.
