NORD STAR 49+

Being one of the best established builders of offshore pilothouse cruisers in Finland, Nord Star is well equipped to adapt its boats in line with custom requests - and that was eminently clear at the Southampton Boat Show.

This latest cruiser-tuned version of the flagship 49+ came with the usual three cabins (including a full-beam ensuite owner's cabin) to sleep up to seven people, plus a reduced aft galley to help generate extra space for an expanded dinette in the forward saloon. But it also had a whole range of very specific custom options, including a glass balustrade and inward-facing benches in the cockpit, like those you so often see on luxury motoryachts.
