"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.












Greg Gaus spent more than 20 years as a professional captain and reads an explorer the way a delivery skipper does: real range at loaded displacement, systems redundancy, and classification records before anything else. 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.












‘Salvatore II’ is an outstanding example of long-range expedition yachting, combining Nordhavn’s renowned ocean-crossing pedigree with refined onboard luxury. Recently refreshed with a significant refit, this 86-foot passagemaker presents in exceptional condition and is purpose-built for extended cruising in comfort and safety.Listing description · YATCO MLS
