Research Nordic Tugs - Nordic Tug 49

Long off-shore cruises. Weekends anchored in shallow bays. Quick trips to the islands. The Nordic Tug 49 has the versatility to take you there. Her renowned Nordic Tugs construction provides the confidence to cruise open waters, yet she draws only 4′ 2″ (1.3m), giving you room to explore shallow waterways. The all-new hull features an advanced split chine design that’s as pleasing at speed as it is at anchor.

The Nordic Tug 49 is superbly appointed with an expansive gourmet galley, teak and holly floors, full-beam master stateroom and an impressive pilothouse that even the most experienced skippers will envy. Every inch of her interior was thoughtfully designed for maximum livability in luxurious style, making her the ideal home on the water that will deliver you in comfort to your next destination.

The boating media agree:

“So while the new Nordic 49 is clearly a Nordic Tug, it’s a Nordic with a difference. If a boater is looking for a vessel for serious cruising or as a very comfortable liveaboard, the new Nordic 49 should make his or her short list.”

-Sea, January 2009

“If you’re in the market for a new power cruiser in this size range and compare its features, performance, American craftsmanship, 10-year hull warranty, and strong dealer network, this tug’s … base price represents real value.”
