On The Water : Outer Reef 580
Passage Maker|July/August 2017

Throughout my time working with boats, people have asked me to assign a definition to the word “yacht,” and I’ve always struggled to find a one-size fits-all definition.

On The Water : Outer Reef 580

Is the demarcation line between a yacht and a boat strictly monetary, or does a certain quality of interior finish matter? Perhaps a boat over 60 feet is a yacht; under, a boat. But we’ve all seen 60-footers that couldn’t possibly qualify, and plenty under 60 that feel yacht-like. Regardless of the line, most often my response was, “you’ll know it when you see it.” And with the Outer Reef 580 Classic motoryacht, that line is a distant memory.

Outer Reef Yachts—from the recently released Trident series to the Classic line that extends upwards of 100 feet in length— maintain the look, feel, performance, and finish that combine to be unequivocal in the category of luxury motoryachts. The 580 is the smallest in the product offering, but is packed with features that would appeal to the long-range cruising enthusiast, or the live-aboard seeking luxury accommodations.

Nord2AK: Nordhavn's 2016 Rendezvous

The seeds were planted in 2012. We had been cruising for several weeks in the remote waters of northern British Columbia, where it isn’t unusual to go for several days without seeing another boat. Then surprisingly, two other Nordhavns sailed into Sea Otter Cove where we were anchored on the west side of Vancouver Island.
