Nordic Yachts Northwest

There’s a proud heritage here, a story of quality and efficiency. Nordic Tugs are simply more stable, more efficient, and safer than most trawlers. We think Nordic Tugs are tops for Quality and Craftsmanship – way beyond most manufacturers, please let us give you a personalized factory tour and show you the quality difference!

Our dealership is growing, and we are now a full service dealership with our own maintenance, detailing, Certified Pre-Owned, and marketing departments. Having clean boats displayed well, professionally photographed, detailed by our in house staff, and priced to sell within a 3 to 6 months has really attributed to this dealerships recent success. While we try to be simple on the outside, we understand that the industry has changed. In order to combat the challenging economic environment, Nordic Yachts Northwest has become an “operational dealership.” That means that not only do we sell new and Pre-Owned Nordic Tugs and Aspen Power Catamarans via our brokerage, we also combine the Gateway Yachts program as well as offer full charter and boat management services! This changes the business dynamic as our dealership benefits from having new boats to show without the traditional inventory expense.

Stop by anytime to visit the dealership!

If you want to visit the Nordic Tug Factory, give us a call and we will arrange a time to take you on a tour. You can see the building process of both Nordic Tugs and Aspen Power Catamarans! It’s a great experience; we highly encourage you to check it out.

Nordic Tugs

Nordic Tugs, The Original Tug-Style, Cruising Trawler!

Life is adventure worth sharing

There is an old proverb that says “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” We believe that is equally true in life and in boating. A Nordic Tug cruiser is designed for those who have and will go far together. We invite you to share in our community and to learn about our boats and boat owners through their shared adventures.  May you find the inspiration to create some stories of your own.

With a decades-long heritage of experience and tradition to draw upon, Nordic Tugs designs seaworthy trawlers with uncompromising craftsmanship, comfort and distinct styling. Nordic Tugs instill immense pride in ownership and allow their owners to explore, experience and discover a world beyond the breakwater…

Does your out-of-state Tug need an AIS Prevention Permit?

A few Tuggers operating in The Puget Sound and Salish Sea May need to obtain AIS Prevention permits.

New for 2018 – Washington State Aquatic Invasive Species Permit for Out-of-State Boaters–Who Needs the AIS Prevention Permit?

Operators of recreational vessels not registered in Washington, seaplane operators, and commercial transporters of watercraft are required to purchase an AIS Prevention Permit. Operators should carry the permit on the vessel at all times. Permits can be obtained online or at any Fish and Wildlife license dealer. Online purchased permits are mailed, and you can print a temporary permit which is good for 10 days. Permits are valid for one year from date of activation.

The following are exempt from the required permit:

•Operators of most out-of-state watercraft and floatplanes, as well as commercial transporters of watercraft, are now required to purchase an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Prevention Permit from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW). The $24 permit ($20 permit + $4 fee) can be purchased online or at any WDFW license sales location throughout the state. Watercraft registered in the State of Washington automatically pay an annual fee as part of their registration and therefore do not need to separately purchase a permit; a valid Washington State registration sticker is proof of payment.

•Vessels registered in Washington (recreational vessels with a valid WA State registration);
•Small watercraft (from Washington or out-of-state) that do not require state or country registration such as canoes and kayaks;
•Watercraft registered as “tenders” to larger boats;
•Vessels registered in Idaho or Oregon, when being used in shared state waters (private recreational unless otherwise registered);
•S. and foreign commercial vessels (with valid commercial marine documentation as a vessel of the U.S. or a foreign country);
•Private and commercial vessels being transported overland by a commercial transporter (a permit is required by the commercial transporter only);
•Military vessels owned by the U.S. government; and
•Vessels owned by any federal, tribal, state, or local government agency or other public entities, and used primarily for governmental purposes.
