Nearly forty years after redefining ocean cruising with the original Nordhavn 46, Pacific Asian Enterprises proudly announces the launch of its modern successor: the Nordhavn 46 MK II. This new model honors the legacy of the original while embracing the latest advancements in design, engineering, and comfort. First introduced in the 1989 and produced for fourteen years in 82 units, the Nordhavn 46 pioneered the concept of a full-displacement, go-anywhere explorer cruiser for adventurous couples, doing more ocean crossings and circumnavigations than any other explorer cruiser. Now the Nordhavn 46 MK II builds on that reputation, delivering a next-generation passage-maker with smarter systems, enhanced performance, and a contemporary design tailored for today’s long-range cruisers. Key advancements in the Nordhavn 46 MK II include: twin Nanni 140hp engines for increased reliability and safety, refined hull design using Nordhavn in-house advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics, quieter ride and stronger hull thanks to modern materials, increased range with over 30% more fuel capacity, an upgraded electrical system with lithium-ion batteries and proportional thruster controls, spacious layout featuring near standing room engine room and modern interior styling with two cabins and two heads, and a full equipment specification including washer/dryer, air conditioning, diesel heat, and stabilizers. The 46 Mk.II sleeker exterior reflects the evolution of the Nordhavn line while still retaining its iconic DNA. Built at PAE’s South Coast facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the 46 MK II will follow the proven batch build model of the Nordhavn 41 and 51, ensuring a streamlined process and more cost-effective pricing, with the first hull due to complete in Spring 2026.
