Dear sailors,
for personal reasons we have decided to sell our boat Motomar 44 Aft Cabin „Nonoah“.
The boat is currently in the north of Norway, in Lofoten, where it has a permanent place in the port of Laukvik and continuously fulfils the contracted sailing program throughout northern Norway.
It is adapted to several types of use:
ski & sail – March and April, Lofoten
summer cruises: hiking, kayaking, diving, snorkelling … – June – August, Lofoten
whale watching and snorkelling with Orcas and Humpback whales – November and January (Skjervoy, Finnmark)
dive safari for wreck diving – Lofoten, Vestfjord and Hardangerfjord
long-distance voyages with high level of independence out of shore support
The boat is on sale from full commercial use with equipment and design with a high standard for use in the Arctic, with possibility of taking over commercial assets and infrastructure.
To do all this safely and comfortably, it has the following parameters and equipment:

Speed, consumption:
the cruise takes place throughout our use in displacement mode at speed of 6,5 – 7 kn7*
consumption in this mode is in the range of 2,6 – 3,0 l/NM (15,6 – 16,5 l / hour at 6-7 kn and standard conditions)
- In the case of a 7 kn displacement cruise, the engine RPM is approx. 1.100 rpm, propellers 1:3,2 = approx. 300 rpm
Consumption at speed over displacement hull speed (approx. over 7,5 kn) is many times higher, has never been tested
Diesel heating consumption in winter is averages 1,2 litres/hour to heat the entire boat. There is always only one source (12 kW) in operation, which works in an energy-saving mode at about 40% of the output)
History of use:
- The boat was bought by us in 2018 in Italy, significantly retrofitted and gradually cruised to Norway
- Estimated operating hours at the time of purchase according to the seller’s data = 1,800 Mth – cannot be proven with certainty
In our use cruised 8.400 NM for 1.400 Mth
Realistic estimate of operating time for the entire life of the boat = 5.000 Mth (according to available information on history and assessment of the technical condition)
Sales mode, price, terms:
The boat is currently in full deployment in the negotiated cruising program and its use will be in some extent continuing
It is possible during this time to come to visit the boat, make a test cruise and possibly start negotiating the sale
- As soon as an agreement with a potential buyer is looming, we will stop further booking of the cruises and set a date for a possible takeover. Since our guests book their cruises in advance, it is necessary to count on a period of several months for the termination of our activities
- The boat will be until the end of the 2024 for whale watching in northern Norway, then (probably at the end of July 2025) we will start cruising south to Hardangerfjord.
- It is also possible to pass on a considerable number of contacts and links to anchorage opportunities outside tourist ports and public infrastructure in the Lofoten and Vesteralen areas, as well as in Skjervoy
- The boat is registered in the SDIR Norwegian Commercial Vessel Registry under the foreign (non–Norwegian) flag and meets the requirements for commercial use in Norway. If you are interested in further commercial use, these links can also be passed on as well as the established system
The price of the boat will depend on the required scope – from a mere stand-alone boat to the handover of a complete commercial project. The basic price for the boat is 80,000 EUR (incl. VAT, cannot be deducted).
