2017 Nordic Tugs 40

“JUNCO” is a well-maintained and nicely equipped 2017 Nordic Tug 40 that presents as a strong example of the model. She reflects consistent care and ownership, and a June 2025 survey places her in above-average condition—making her a compelling option for buyers seeking a capable, owner-operated cruising vessel.

She is powered by a Volvo Penta D6-370 with approximately 600 hours, delivering efficient cruising in the 8–13 knot range and top speeds in the mid-teens. Notable equipment includes variable speed bow and stern thrusters, diesel hydronic heating, Garmin electronics, an inverter/charger system, and a low-hour Northern Lights generator.

With her semi-displacement hull, generous interior volume, and practical pilothouse configuration, the Nordic Tug 40 is particularly well suited for Pacific Northwest and extended coastal cruising.

One of only a handful of the 40’ models built, she features many thoughtful upgrades and improvements from her predecessor, the Nordic Tug 37, this “JUNCO” offers an improved, more modern, and very well maintained opportunity for anyone considering a vessel in this class.
