37-39 Tug

With over 200 produced, the Nordic 37 Tug (called the 39 Tug in 2013–15) ranks high on anyone’s list of popular midsize cruisers. For many, this is the perfect boat for the retired couple—easy to handle, fuel efficient and roomy enough for extended cruising. She rides on a solid fiberglass semi-displacement hull with moderate beam and a full, prop-protecting keel. The raised pilothouse floorplan of the 37 Tug was originally arranged with two staterooms forward including an island berth in the master stateroom and over/under berths in the guest cabin. In 2003, an alternate single-stateroom layout greatly enlarged the master stateroom while also adding more floor space in the shower. In both configurations, the Nordic’s full-beam salon is open to both the pilothouse and cockpit. In the salon, the well laid out galley features a full-size refrigerator, and an L-shaped leather settee to port converts to a double berth at night. Additional features include hardwood interior flooring, cockpit storage lazarette, transom door, and bow thruster. Note the fake smokestack. A flybridge option became available in 2004. A single 330hp Cummins diesel will cruise at 12–14 knots.
