The 28-metre Lantana motor yacht Nordic Star has been listed for sale with Elizabeth Swain and Graham Rutherford of Northrop & Johnson.
Originally delivered in 1969 by the American shipyard to a design by Jack Hargrave, Nordic Star is an economical cruiser and a long-range pilothouse motor yacht. She has benefitted from meaningful investment over the years, including a major refit in 2015 where she also went through all the necessary safety upgrades to obtain a Coastwise Certificate of Inspection for up to 50 passengers, making her ideal for entertaining. She received a full paint job in 2025 that took her down to bare metal.
Her 2015 refit saw interiors completely gutted and replaced with satin-finished teak joinery, a teak and holly sole and all-new soft goods. Panoramic windows illuminate the main saloon, which freely flows from the lounge to the formal dining space, while a short hallway leads guests to the well-equipped galley. The lounge includes a wine cooler, day head, Yamaha audio system and Samsung flat-screen TV.
Nordic Star offers accommodation for six guests in three well-appointed cabins. The full-beam master suite is located amidships for added comfort to the owners with an ensuite that includes a marble countertop vanity and a separate enclosed stall shower with updated fixtures.
Further accommodation comprises two twins situated aft, each with their own en suite bathroom facilities as well.
Her aft deck is the perfect place to host guests as well as dine al fresco. The area is large with two built-in lounges and two teak hi-lo tables. In 2025, the aft deck was fitted with a weather-protected isinglass enclosure so it can be enjoyed on cooler days.
The wide walk-around side decks lead to a spacious foredeck with built-in seating. Up a level, the flybridge serves as a secondary helm station and features additional bench seating. Lastly, an aluminium swim platform completes the stern.
Twin Caterpillar D343T diesel engines allow a gentle cruising speed of 10 knots and a range of 3,000 nautical miles. The yacht for sale is also fitted with Naiad fin stabilisers for added comfort underway.
Lying in San Diego, CA, USA, Nordic Star is asking $1,750,000.
