130’ (39.62m) Classic Yacht NORTHWIND for Sale

The iconic 130′ (39.62m) classic motor yacht NORTHWIND is now available for sale with Northrop & Johnson Yacht Salesperson Rolf Smith. The price for this stunning piece of yachting history is available upon request.

Initially built in 1930 by Manitowoc Shipbuilding Co., NORTHWIND is a stunning example of vintage craftsmanship blended with modern luxury. She is designed by Cox & Stevens, one of the most prestigious naval architecture firms of its time, and features a steel hull and superstructure, ensuring durability and exceptional seaworthiness. NORTHWIND has undergone multiple refits, most recently between 2017 and 2022, enhancing her mechanical, electrical, and navigation systems while preserving her classic charm.

An authentic piece of maritime history, NORTHWIND has a storied past. She was once owned by His Majesty’s Government during World War II and later restored to the U.S. Registry in 1988 by a Special Act of Congress. Throughout her nearly 95 years, she has hosted notable figures of her era, making her an extraordinary collector’s item for classic yacht enthusiasts.

Powered by twin Paxman 12-cylinder diesel engines (360 HP each), NORTHWIND reaches a top speed of 12 knots and comfortably cruises at 10 knots. With an impressive 3,000-nautical-mile range, she is ideal for long-distance cruising and transatlantic voyages. Her five staterooms accommodate up to 10 guests, supported by a dedicated crew of ten for a luxurious onboard experience.

Currently U.S.-flagged and docked at Marina Del Rey, California, NORTHWIND represents a rare opportunity to own a timeless classic with modern performance.
