The Origin Story: Northwest 45

Revisit the unique history of Northwest Yachts in one of our first published videos, featuring conversations with owner and developer, Peter Whiting, and an insightful conversation with their vessel designer, Steve Seaton. Look back at where the brand started with Hull 1, a Northwest 45 - the first model that launched our journey into custom yacht building. At Northwest Yachts, we don't believe in "cookie cutter" models. Each Steve Seaton-designed vessel is a masterpiece tailored to its owner's individual requirements. From size and layout to styling, hull configuration, and construction materials, every aspect is carefully considered to create a boat that's uniquely yours. Our semi-displacement, FRP-constructed, Expedition Trawler series are perfect for various cruising conditions - be it open ocean, coastal, near coastal, or inside passage. These versatile yachts offer the flexibility to cruise at economical displacement speeds or, when needed, accelerate up to 12 knots, depending on engine selection. Join us on this video journey to explore the craftsmanship, design philosophy, and personal touch that goes into every Northwest Motor Yacht. Hear firsthand from Peter & Jan Whiting about their experience, and gain insights from Steve Seaton on the innovative design process that makes each Northwest Yacht a bespoke creation. Northwest Yachts currently offers models ranging from 52 ft to 58 ft LOA. The newest addition, the Northwest 55, is expected to splash in Anacortes, Washington in Fall 2024. Northwest 55-04 is already sold, but orders are open for the next build! Experience the Northwest difference - where your dream yacht becomes a reality, tailored just for you.
