Nordship Yachts Nordship 500 DS
About this yacht
The Nordship Yachts Nordship 500 DS, in production since 2022, represents a compelling approach to bluewater cruising. This 14.95-meter deck saloon sailing yacht combines ocean-crossing capability with thoughtful customization, offering owners the freedom to configure their vessel around their specific cruising ambitions. Built with a fiberglass hull and certified to CE Category A standards, the Nordship 500 DS is designed for offshore passages and extended voyages. With a draft of 2.35 meters, she balances performance with accessibility to a range of anchorages. What sets this cruising sailboat apart is its flexibility. The standard configuration accommodates up to ten guests across multiple cabin layouts, with options ranging from two to four double cabins. For couples planning extended bluewater adventures, the layout can be reimagined entirely—trading guest quarters for a workshop, office, or additional living space tailored to life aboard. The deck saloon itself features wraparound windows that flood the interior with natural light while providing excellent visibility in all conditions. The raised seating area creates a comfortable vantage point for passage-making or simply enjoying anchorages in remote locations. Forward of the mast, a flush deck provides a spacious social area ideal for gatherings at anchor. Below, the galley placement is yours to choose. The most popular configuration positions it in the passageway leading to the full-beam owner's suite aft, where dual work surfaces make meal preparation practical during offshore passages. Alternatively, the galley can be located forward or integrated into the saloon level for a more social cooking experience. The space not used for the galley becomes available for custom seating, a navigation station, or a protected watch keeper's position—keeping crew warm and dry while maintaining clear sightlines through those generous windows. The owner's suite occupies the full beam aft, complete with en suite head and separate shower compartment. Forward and amidships cabins can be configured as needed, with options for additional en suite facilities depending on your intended use. On deck, the well-sheltered cockpit comfortably seats eight, making the Nordship 500 DS equally suited to coastal cruising with family and friends or serious offshore passages with a smaller crew. Nordship works closely with each owner to refine the layout, ensuring the finished yacht aligns with how you actually plan to use her—whether that's circumnavigation, seasonal cruising, or something in between.
