Nord Star 36+
That a 36-footer of Nord Star’s caliber has a certain weight is not really surprising. Only required as it weighs 8 tons and can be equipped with up to 2 x Volvo Penta D6-440 DPI (2×440 hp). But here we are talking about something more. Something that causes the boating press as owners to refer to its safe properties even when the sea is at its most agitated. If it is then due to the well-turned hull, the strategically designed rungs and/or just the fact that the hull as well as beams and engine compartment are exceptionally well insulated, we do not dig deeper here and now. Most importantly, the Nord Star 36+ is exactly the balanced mix of “raw rough ice” and “luxury houseboat” that has made the brand famous. With this safe all-weather boat also comes the option of having it with a flybridge that gives a new perspective on boating – literally. Perhaps most of all, the 36+ excels with its well-proportioned spaces, both externally and internally. Just take the wide and well-proportioned cargo areas and the lowered side tires. Or by all means take the large doors into the cabin, which make it a breeze to move around on board – regardless of whether you are out with a large group or whether you have to manage maneuvering and loading on your own. Speaking of maneuvering, the 36+ also has an extra ace up its sleeve as, thanks to dual motors, joystick steering and Sky Hook, it is child’s play to handle both at high speeds and in tight harbours. Last but not least, the boat boasts an interior that few, if any, other cabin boats of the same size can compare with. Something that, in a somewhat magical way, has managed to conjure up the large exterior spaces in spite of.
With built-in strength
With or without flybridge? With the Nord Star 36+ also comes the opportunity to get the boat with a solid flybridge where no shortcuts have been taken to achieve maximum comfort. Complete with a large L-shaped sofa, substantial seats and an ergonomically thought-out and royally placed driver’s seat in the middle. Comfortable accommodation The Nord Star 36+ is a no-frills full-fledged houseboat with its large, bright and airy saloon and its two separate sleeping cabins with room for a total of five adults. Tough exterior The Nordstar 36+ gets a lot of praise for its tough, not to say rather cocky, appearance as well as its line play that harmonizes with the boat’s cheeky attitude in general.
