590 Pilothouse

Exterior

The North Pacific 59/590 is designed with a serious yet classy look. With an LOA of 61’4”, a beam of 18’4” and a high plumb bow, the NP59 has a presence that can’t be missed.

The NP59 is built on a semi-displacement hull which provides good stability, meeting CE Class A, for a comfortable and safe cruise. The hull also allows for higher cruise and top speeds when the need arises.

Twin skegs provide protection to the running gear, negating the worry of prop damage in most twin engine applications.

The hull has a beautiful planked look, adding character. It is solid, hand-laid fiberglass. This makes it both very strong and heavy, which adds to the stability. A vinyl ester resin is used in the outer two layers of the hull and superstructure to prevent blistering. Below the waterline is additional protection in the form of an epoxy barrier. The fiberglass stringers are made on a separate mold and then glassed into the hull in a rigid grid design.

The superstructure is made of fiberglass and cored primarily with a lightweight closed cell foam, helping to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity. Rigid PVC is used as coring in areas that require more strength (where the upper helm seat is bolted, for example). Wood is not used as a coring material. The hull and superstructure are a shoebox design and are epoxied and fiberglassed together for a strong and lasting bond.

The plumb bow adds to the great look of the NP59 but is also practical by adding considerably to the waterline and interior space. A longer WL also increases fuel economy at displacement speeds and we have found no negative performance aspects of a plumb bow.

All stainless steel railings are large diameter #316L for safety. They also provide an impressive feel.

Exterior cushions are upholstered with Ultraleather and reticulated foam for comfort and durability. The NP59 comes standard with Sunbrella exterior covers for the seating and helm.

Flybridge

The standard North Pacific 59 configuration includes a spacious flybridge. A low-maintenance hardtop with dimmable overhead lights is standard. The port side has a large L seating area with a dining table. Combined with dual helm seats at the helm, this area is great for entertaining or while underway where everyone can enjoy a great view.

An optional barbeque station with a sink, storage and a fridge can be added.

Aft of the seating area is space for chaise lounges and aft of here is space for a 16’ dinghy. The NP59 comes equipped with a full function UMT hydraulic davit crane making launch and recovery easier.

There is an Aritex sliding stainless steel/glass hatch for accessing the stairway to the cockpit from the flybridge.

Foredeck and Portuguese Bridge

A walk around deck on the starboard side (full walk around available) leads to the portuguese bridge and foredeck. The walk around deck is safe with high walls and railings. You can access the walk around from the cockpit or the starboard side pilothouse door. Forward of the portuguese bridge is a seating area and small table; a great place to enjoy a sunset with a glass of wine.

The impressive Lofrans Titan B windlass is standard on the 59 and comes equipped with 280’ of ½” G4 high test chain and a 121# Rocna anchor. Raised gunwales and high 1.5” railings provide good security when tending to the anchor. The chain locker is split allowing for a full second rode or a great storage space. There are also large storage lockers on the forward side of the portuguese bridge.

Cockpit and Swim Platform

The cockpit is fully covered and spacious. The deck is covered with low maintenance Flexiteek which adds a rich look and reduces the need to clean the deck. Enjoy breakfast or hors d’oeuvres at a large settee at the aft end of the cockpit with a polished teak table.

A heavy custom made Aritex stainless steel and glass sliding door is an impressive entry into the salon from the cockpit.

Access to the cockpit is via transom doors on each side of the seating area. A curved staircase to the cockpit on each side gives the feeling of entering a mega yacht. The deep swim platform is covered with Flexiteek and has comfortable entry points to the dock. Access to the lazarette is through a pantograph style watertight Aritex door.
