There are times when a company or individual goes above and beyond what is expected of them. I'm pleased to say that Frank Durksen Jr. of AAA Yacht Finders International Canada falls into this category. After cruising around the Pacific more than 32,000 miles, I decided to choose a professional to sell my boat. Frank went the second mile to see that the boat was in good condition and attractive appearance. His advertising and negotiating skills were put to the test and the sale was brought to a swift conclusion. His experience and knowledge of Nordhavns is a real asset. I will be recommending him to anyone interested in either purchasing or selling a boat. Happy Cruising!
— Lawrence Rick, former owner of Done Dreamin 40’ Nordhavn 2002

WE LOVE NORDHAVN YACHTS
We have first-hand extensive knowledge of Nordhavn trawlers. Our founder, Frank Durksen Sr., saw his first Nordhavn 46 when it stopped at an Anacortes fuel dock on its way to Alaska in 1992. It was truly "love at first sight." He had never seen another boat like it before. Beautiful yet seaworthy, and perfect in every way. "I remember thinking, this is what all boats should look like" said Frank.  Soon after that, Frank became the owner of his own Nordhavn 46' "Hermanita" (1991 #26 a rare twin engine flybridge model now named "Tenacity").  In the years that followed Frank became the unofficial "Northwest Representative" for Nordhavn selling a number of the new boats he had come to love.

 

On building "First Forty": 
When Frank Durksen sr. heard that PAE was designing the Nordhavn 40' he wanted to be the very first owner. Going through the building process in 1999 of his "First Forty," allowed Frank to gain unprecedented knowledge on all phases of the build, from the original tank testing, plug cutting, mold making  through construction, launching, commissioning, and finally enjoying Nordhavn 40 #1. "First Forty" was launched December 24, 1999.

By personally experiencing Nordhavn construction from start to finish, owning Nordhavns, and having sold many used Nordhavns, we KNOW the quality, craftsmanship, and capabilities of these fine trawlers.

We have several of these rugged passagemakers listed for sale as brokerage boats, as well as many buyers looking to own a true classic with timeless appeal.  You can view full detailed listings and photographs on the "Brokerage" section of our website.
