Description

There are certain boats that simply develop a reputation over time. Not because of flashy marketing campaigns or extravagant features, but because they consistently deliver exactly what owners ask them to do. The Nordic Tug 32+ is one of those boats.

At Ease is a beautifully maintained and extensively upgraded 2003 Nordic Tug 32+ that has recently proven her capabilities in the most meaningful way possible—by successfully completing more than 6,600 miles of America's Great Loop. From the inland rivers of the Midwest to the locks of the Erie Canal, through the St. Lawrence Seaway and around the entirety of Lake Michigan, At Ease has demonstrated exactly why the Nordic Tug 32+ is regarded as one of the finest cruising boats in her class.

For the cruising couple seeking comfort, efficiency, safety, and simplicity, it is difficult to imagine a better platform. Her single Cummins Diamond Series 6BTA 5.9 diesel has accumulated just 2,191 original hours and provides the legendary reliability and fuel economy that have made this engine one of the most respected marine diesels ever built. Bow and stern thrusters make docking and lock operations remarkably simple, while modern electronics, solar charging capability, inverter power, and extensive upgrades allow comfortable cruising far beyond the marina.

The Nordic Tug 32+ represented a major evolution of an already successful design. Introduced in 2002, the "+" model brought significant improvements including a centerline island berth, enlarged head compartment with separate shower, redesigned galley with under-counter refrigeration and freezer, expanded salon space, and an integrated swim platform that increased both overall length and waterline length.

The result is a vessel that feels considerably larger than her dimensions suggest while retaining the efficiency, ease of handling, and rugged seaworthiness that made Nordic Tug famous.

Whether your plans include America's Great Loop, the Great Lakes, the Tennessee River system, the Chesapeake Bay, New England, or simply comfortable weekends aboard, At Ease is equipped and ready for the adventure.

Currently located at Goose Pond Marina in Scottsboro, Alabama.

At Ease offers a practical and comfortable layout designed specifically for extended cruising by a couple while still accommodating occasional guests.

The private master stateroom is located forward and features the highly desirable centerline island berth introduced with the Nordic Tug 32+ redesign. This arrangement provides easy access from both sides of the bed while creating a far more spacious feel than traditional V-berth configurations. The master features a custom mattress with foam topper, three opening screened portlights, an overhead screened hatch, hanging locker storage, and abundant cabinetry.

Immediately aft is the spacious head compartment featuring a Techma electric macerating toilet, vanity with sink, mirror, storage cabinetry, hot and cold pressure water, and a dedicated shower area. An opening screened portlight provides natural ventilation.

Three steps up brings you to the raised pilothouse. One of the signature features of the Nordic Tug design, the pilothouse provides commanding visibility in all directions and direct access to both side decks through sliding port and starboard doors.

Moving aft and down two steps is the salon and galley area. Large Diamond Sea-Glaze windows provide abundant natural light while creating excellent visibility from throughout the interior. A recently reupholstered L-shaped settee converts into additional sleeping accommodations when needed.

From the salon, a hinged door provides access to the cockpit, swim platform, lazarette, and boat deck. Strategically placed handrails throughout the vessel provide safe and secure movement whether underway or at anchor.

The forward master stateroom is one of the most significant improvements made to the Nordic Tug 32+ and offers accommodations typically found aboard much larger vessels. The centerline island berth allows easy access from either side and is complemented by a custom mattress with foam topper. An overhead screened hatch and three opening screened portlights provide outstanding natural light and ventilation. Generous storage is found throughout the cabin in hanging lockers, drawers, and cabinetry, making the space ideal for extended cruising.

The enlarged head compartment aboard the 32+ offers significantly more comfort than earlier models. The space features a Techma electric macerating toilet installed in 2022, vanity with sink, mirrored storage cabinet, separate shower area, hot and cold pressure water, opening screened portlight, and ample storage for toiletries and cruising essentials.

The raised pilothouse is one of the defining characteristics of the Nordic Tug line and one of the reasons owners become so passionate about these boats. At Ease features recently reupholstered helm and companion seating with fold-down footrests, port and starboard sliding access doors, overhead hatch, and exceptional visibility in all directions. The full navigation suite is conveniently arranged at the helm, while direct access to the engine room through the pilothouse sole allows quick daily inspections and maintenance checks. The ability to step directly from the helm to either side deck makes docking and lock operations especially simple.

The salon is warm, bright, and comfortable with excellent visibility and natural light. A recently reupholstered L-shaped convertible settee provides comfortable seating for owners and guests while also offering additional sleeping accommodations when needed. Large Diamond Sea-Glaze windows surround the salon and are equipped with one-way UV tinted window film, Levolor cordless cellular shades, and custom snap-on privacy shades. Storage is located beneath the seating and throughout the salon, creating a functional and inviting living space for extended cruising.

The redesigned galley found aboard the Nordic Tug 32+ is one of the most practical and user-friendly arrangements in this size range. Located to port, the galley is equipped with a Seaward Princess electric two-burner cooktop with oven and broiler, side-by-side Nova Kool refrigerator and freezer, microwave oven, stainless steel sink, pressure hot and cold water system, and a separate filtered drinking water faucet. Abundant storage throughout the galley makes provisioning for extended cruises simple and convenient. A new Kuma six-gallon water heater was installed in October of 2025.

At Ease is exceptionally well equipped for navigation and cruising. At the helm is a Raymarine A-Series 12-inch touchscreen multifunction display featuring GPS chart plotting, depth sounder, radar integration, and rear-view camera capability. Navigation is enhanced by Raymarine Lighthouse software, a Raymarine RMK-9 remote keypad, Raymarine autopilot with p70 color display, and a Raymarine S100 wireless autopilot remote.

Additional electronics include a Raymarine Tridata instrument displaying depth and water temperature, Standard Horizon VHF radio, AIS transceiver with dedicated antenna installed in 2022, Danforth Corsair III compass, navigation lighting, and an AFI dual trumpet electric horn installed in 2019.

Entertainment is provided through a Fusion MS-RA205 stereo system with Sirius capability, auxiliary input, and salon remote control.
