2024 NW 55 Cruising Yacht — Where the Passage Becomes the Destination

Imagine easing out of the harbor at first light, the NW 55’s steady hum carrying you into the emerald channels of the San Juan Islands. Orcas surface off the bow. Bald eagles trace the shoreline. With confident range and ocean-calm stability, the NW 55 turns the Salish Sea into your private cruising ground.

Designed for serious passagemaking and refined comfort, the 2024 NW 55 invites you to cruise farther—unhurried and in complete control. From island-hopping through Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor to anchoring beneath star-filled skies in Desolation Sound, this yacht is built to make every mile effortless and every stop unforgettable.

Wide side deck and a secure pilothouse inspire confidence in changing conditions, while generous windows flood the interior with light and ever-changing coastal scenery. Inside, the salon becomes a warm refuge after a day underway—perfect for sharing stories, planning tomorrow’s anchorage, or simply watching the sunset paint the mountains. Spacious staterooms and a thoughtfully equipped galley make extended cruising not just possible, but luxurious.

Whether threading tidal passes, gliding through glassy inlets, or dropping the hook in a quiet cove, the NW 55 delivers the freedom to roam—from the sheltered beauty of the San Juans to the dramatic fjords and warm summer waters of Desolation Sound.
