Nordlund Boat Company. Inc.

Nordlund Boat Company, Inc., founded by John Nordlund in 1957, is a custom yacht builder based in Tacoma, Washington, USA. The company initially focused on wooden commercial fishing vessels before transitioning to fiberglass yacht construction. This shift occurred in the early 1970s, with the first fiberglass yacht delivered in 1973. Nordlund has primarily built custom motor yachts from 65 to over 120 feet in length. The company's construction philosophy emphasizes durable, ocean-going vessels, often incorporating semi-displacement hull forms. Nordlund builds yachts to individual client specifications, resulting in unique designs for each project. Over the decades, the company has remained a family-owned and operated business, with subsequent generations of the Nordlund family involved in its management. Their facilities in Tacoma house various aspects of yacht construction, from hull lamination to interior finishing. Nordlund often works with various naval architects and designers to develop projects based on client requirements. The company's market positioning is primarily within the custom pilothouse motor yacht segment, serving clients seeking personalized, long-range cruising yachts. Nordlund has delivered over 70 custom yachts since its inception.
