CAZADOR

Pacific Northwest waters demand a different breed of explorer, and Ed Monk Jr.'s naval architecture for this 2018 Nordlund creation answers that call with serious range and capability. CAZADOR's 35-meter frame cuts through the region's challenging conditions while her shallow draft opens access to the countless coves and protected anchorages that define British Columbia's coast, from the remote inlets of Desolation Sound to the wildlife-rich channels of the Inside Passage. Tim Nolan's exterior design prioritizes function over flash, creating deck spaces that work as well for crab pot hauling as they do for sunset cocktails. Mary Flores's interiors accommodate eight guests across thoughtfully planned spaces that feel substantial without excess, while five crew ensure operations run smoothly whether anchored in a secluded bay or navigating active shipping lanes. The result is a yacht built for the kind of extended exploration that Alaska and the Pacific Northwest reward—where the destination changes with the tide.
