M/Y Salvatore Ii

A 2009 Nordhavn 86-footer refreshed in 2025 and ready to run.

"Salvatore Ii" is a 2009 Nordhavn 86' expedition yacht offered for sale at $6,700,000, lying Sydney, New South Wales. Explorer yachts are bought for what they can actually do, and the gap between the marketing word and a genuinely expedition-capable vessel is wide - range at load, redundancy, and classification have to be verified, not believed.

Power is twin Series 60's, 600 hp each, showing 5,000 hours. She cruises around 10 knots and tops out near 12 knots, carrying 26,498 gallons of fuel.

Accommodations run to 5 staterooms for 9 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 2.

Highlights

That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

What does it cost to run a 86-foot expedition yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 86-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.

Where can I see "Salvatore Ii"?

How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.

How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 10 knots, top speed about 12 knots and 26,498 gallons of fuel with twin Series 60's, 600 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
