Nord West Yachts – Swedish Motor Yacht Craftsmanship
Founded in 1985 on Vindön, Orust, Sweden by Benny Martinsson, Nord West Yachts built a reputation for high craftsmanship motor yachts from 27 to 56â¯ft. They combined robust semi displacement and planing hulls with sleek styling, comfortable layouts, and excellent sea keeping.
The firm ceased production in 2013 after financial strain caused by a strong Swedish krona, though the brand was acquired by Storebro soon after. Despite plans to revive it, no new Nord West yachts have reached production since.
