Nordhavn 40 II Offshore Trawler passage making powerboat for sale in San Diego, California by Ian Van Tuyl the listing agent. 1-619-507-4416 or ivtyachtsales@gmail.com

Castella is hull #60, well into the Nordhavn 40 II series and is perhaps the most capable 40-foot passage making powerboat ever designed. She has many of the basic system configurations, port light style, and other developments that followed hull #21, the Nordhavn 40 that circumnavigated in the 2001 “Around-the-World” voyage. She has the well-proven Nordhavn dry stack exhaust system and gravity feed fuel system, producing one of the most reliable engine systems fitted on any yacht. Castella was purchased, maintained, and continually improved by her original owners.

Castella has spent her life exploring Southeast Alaska, Southern California, and has been as far south as Huatulco, Mexico. She has paravane stabilizers providing simple, effective stabilization when needed, and increased fuel efficiency when stowed. The owners report a deployment time of approximately 3 minutes, and a retrieval time of 5 minutes. An added benefit of the paravane system is that it is also effective at anchor.

Castella's interior: Enter the salon through a gasket, dogged, aluminum door. There is a dinette settee and table to starboard and an opposing settee to port. The galley is at the port forward end of the salon, and has granite countertops. Just forward there are steps up to the pilothouse and down to the passageway access to the head and sleeping cabins. The head, with separate stall shower is to starboard and the guest stateroom is to port. Engine room access is through the guest cabin, although there is a mechanic’s and egress hatch in the salon. At the forward end of the passageway is the master stateroom. The master has a centerline double bed. The engine room of the Nordhavn 40 II series is legendary for its space and systems organization.
