“Nordhavn was the only choice that satisfied
my dream of long-distance cruising
and my wife’s expectations for comfort.”
Jim Lyle, owner of Nordhavn 43
Special Blend
Special Blend at anchor off of Vava’u, Tonga where the Lyle family connect with nature and fall in love with the stress free life their Nordhavn 43 gives them.
Jim and Martha Lyle had been
boaters for 40 years cruising
locally around the waters of
their Florida home.
They decided
to expand their cruising grounds to
include the Bahamas and the Caribbean
until Jim learned about the Nordhavn
40 that P.A.E. had taken around the
world. “It had never occurred to me

things around me and I wanted the

design,
predictability at sea and a
notable track record impressed Jim. Finally,
his childhood fascination with exploring
the South Pacific seemed within reach, but

only choice that satisfied my dream of
long-distance cruising and my wife’s
expectations for comfort.”
Indeed, Martha wanted to take hot showers,
lounge in air-conditioned comfort during
humid climes, enjoy drinks with ice and
kick back in a great-looking salon. “After
cruising for nearly a year, the boat becomes
your home,” said Martha. “I wanted to be
