Skippern Yachts Welcomes Davy & Ørsted Houseboats to the Nordic Waters
Skippern Yachts is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Davy & Ørsted Houseboats, bringing the refinement of Piet Boon–designed, aluminium-built floating homes to discerning clients across Scandinavia. This cooperation makes it easier than ever for clients in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland to explore, buy, and live aboard some of the most tastefully designed houseboats on the market.
A New Chapter in Floating Luxury
Davy & Ørsted (D&Ø) Houseboats represent a bold integration of architecture and marine design. With three main models — the Comfort 65, Elegance 65, and Prestige 100 — these floating homes deliver sophistication and sustainability in one elegant package.
Thanks to their distinctive Dutch design by Studio Piet Boon, each houseboat offers generous living space, natural materials, and a flow between indoor and outdoor living that feels beautifully integrated with the water. The Prestige 100 even features a rooftop sauna and panoramic views from its upper deck.

Crucially, the D&Ø houseboats are not just visually stunning — they are built with sustainability in mind. The construction relies on recycled aluminium, following a cradle-to-cradle philosophy. For propulsion, they use 100% electric motors, offering quiet, clean, and efficient navigation.

Why Skippern Yachts Is the Perfect Nordic Partner
Skippern Yachts, with its deep roots in the Nordic boating world, brings more than just sales capability — they bring understanding, local presence, and a genuine passion for maritime lifestyle. With over 20 years of experience and a presence directly or indirectly in more than 20 countries, Skippern has become a trusted name in yachting and brokerage.
Making D&Ø Houseboats Accessible to the Nordic Market
Through this cooperation, Skippern Yachts is appointed as the commercial agent for D&Ø Houseboats in the Nordic region covering Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. While Skippern operates within this territory, the agreement also allows us — on a non-exclusive basis — to engage clients beyond the region, enabling global reach while prioritising local expertise. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in one of the houseboats and live outside the Nordic region.
This structure ensures that Skippern can provide a dedicated sales organisation and, where appropriate, manage after-sales service throughout the Nordic region. The result? Prospective buyers in Scandinavia now have direct, expert access to D&Ø’s floating architectural masterpieces, supported by a team that understands both the product and the market.
Bringing Floating Homes Close to Nordic Buyers
For Nordic clients who dream of life on the water — but don’t want to compromise on design, quality, or sustainability — this partnership opens new doors. Skippern Yachts’ local presence and maritime know-how combine perfectly with D&Ø’s elegant, eco-conscious houseboats.
Whether you’re looking for a leisure retreat, a remote work sanctuary, or a full-time floating home, Skippern can now connect you with D&Ø’s visionary designs, guide you through the selection process, and support you in making your floating home a reality.
