2007 Najad Yachts N380 Aphrodite

For many years, cruiser design has taken its inspiration from racing. This caused us to think ”Why not take a completely different tack?”

That is, build new yachts that evoke the aesthetic of yesteryear but that take full advantage of modern-day technology. Which is exactly what we did. We created a com-
pletely new range of Aphrodite yachts, for people who appreciate classic beauty and are looking for something out of the ordinary.

The legacy from the legendary yachts built on the Swedish island of Orust is plain to see. The hull’s soft sweeping forms are a pleasure to the eye. A deck of teak is just as obvious a choice as a super structure of mahogany. Old-fashioned fresh air vents and a wooden steering wheel are details that make for an attractive overall look. A solid construction in every respect ensures a smooth and stable passage through the water. Rig and hardware are first rate.

Down in the cabin you’ll find quality craftsmanship, executed with extreme attention to detail. A classically designed mahogany interior. Cosy but light, with unsurpassed comfort.
Lighting fittings and hardware of brass have just the right feel. Dimensions are generous and the layout is particularly well considered. It’s a place where you’ll be happy to spend time.

Aphrodite are yachts for a small and exclusive set of sailors, a select group of boat lovers who value tradition and history.

Over the past 37 years Najad has gone through many developments, but one thing always has been clear to us: No customer is the same. Therefore we at Najad strongly believe and have specialized ourselves in the concept of Semi Custom Build.

For you as our customer this means that from the very first contact with a member of our sales team, throughout the process of order, specification, build, delivery and after sales, everything in our organization is focused on meeting your personal wishes.
Personalization already starts with the offer we makeyou. We do not believe in standard option- and pricelists. Our sales people will discuss in detail with you how and where you will use your boat and what you expect from your Najad. Based on your wishes you will receive a fully detailed customized offer.

After ordering your own Najad one of our project managers will take over from our sales team. Often you already have met your project manager during the ordering process for discussing the possibilities of certain wishes. Your project manager is your link to the entire Najad organization. He or she will guide you along each step of
detailed specification, build and delivery of your boat. If special drawings or calculations are required our experienced team of engineers will take care of this.

Each boat we build is a special project for us at Najad. Meeting customer’s wishes requires a high level of development in design and technology within our organization. Our designers and engineering specialists will see to it that your personal ideas are integrated in the Najad concept in the very best way. Without compromising on safety or beauty and always meeting our own strict quality demands and those of Germanischer Lloyd.
