Nordhavn 96 VivieRae Nordhavn
The spirit of an adventurer: Bob Giles, owner of Nordhavn 9614 embodies it like no other. During his boat’s two-year build process, Giles envisioned going to exotic places, doing extreme activities and enjoying ports of call by really getting to know the land, the people, and the culture of the places he’d visit.
It was something he was able to touch upon while cruising on his previous boat, Nordhavn 8601, up and down the East Coast of the U.S., and throughout the Caribbean and the Bahamas. But he had visions of grandeur with his Nordhavn 96 VivieRae, and vowed to fulfill his dreams of exploring the other side of the world.
It started with taking delivery of his boat straight from the South Coast factory in Xiamen, China. VivieRae is one of a half-dozen boats to be commissioned at the factory and leave on its own bottom. After two extensive ABS Certification compliancy seatrials, the keys were given to Giles and the boat was brought to Hong Kong where she was provisioned in advance of her maiden voyage: a 2,800-nm non-stop passage to Bali.
