Builder Nordhavn Yachts

Company history

The history of Nordhavn brand of the American company Pacific Asian Enterprises has developed very consistently. The future founding fathers Jim Leishman and Dan Streech started in 1973 as regular brokers working in the California Yacht Center. Later they started their own company and started boating from Taiwan.

The partners have established links in the Asian market, and gradually they have a project of a new cruising yacht with a trawler look in the North European style. This is how the Nordhavn brand was born in 1989. Perhaps the world fame would have come to the company earlier, but in 1990 a 10% luxury tax was introduced in the USA and until its abolition the shipyard had not sold a single boat to the home country. On the other hand, Nordhavn managed to start successful future cooperation with foreign buyers.
