History

Nordship 360 deck saloon

The beginning of a yard

The Danish yard Nordship Yachts ApS was founded in 1978 under the name Buchwald Yachtværft. The founder of the company Lars Buchwald started by making accomodation and as sup-contractor for several well-known Danish ship yards. During the years we have gathered a great knowledge from building/developing racing yachts, producing one-off projects and the making of several boats for sailing around the globe.

Birth of Nordship

In 1988 Lars Buchwald acquired the rights for the Nordship boat program, which was the start to a extensive development program, where all the experience from previous constructions was used in the process of developing the new Nordship models. The Nordship Program is today dominating the production of the yard in such a degree that the name was changed to Nordship Yachts ApS.

The first deck-saloon

In the early 90s the first deck-saloon yachts was introduced, and today the Nordship model program does only consist of Deck Saloon Yachts produced individually to meet the specific clients wishes.

40 years of knowledge

In 2008 the yard could celebrate its 30 years jubilee and moved to the current address in Lunderskov. This was celebrated with a reception for our business connections and a gala party for Nordship owners from the most of Europe. Nordship Yachts which celebrate 40 years in the Boat Industri in 2018 is today considered as one of the leading manufactures of Deck Saloon Yachts.
