The Nissen 38 One Off, built by MP Werft, embodies classic yacht building at the highest level. Timeless lines, balanced construction, and uncompromising craftsmanship combine to create a cruising yacht of lasting quality and enduring value.

The hull, deck, and interior fittings are the result of careful material selection and precise workmanship. Every design decision is made with the aim of ensuring substance, safety, and durability in the long term. The shipyard stands for yacht building that is not focused on short-term effects, but on long-term value retention.

Nissen 38 – A yacht with clear origins, a refined presence, and technical integrity – created for discerning owners who recognize and preserve quality.

The Varuna is more than just a sailboat—it is the promise of unique moments. Here, classic elegance meets the performance of modern sailing yachts. Whether at the dock, under sail, or anchored in the bay, the Varuna attracts attention. A highly polished hull and superstructure, high-quality teak deck, shiny railings, winches, sheets, and the extravagant steering wheel from Luffe Yachts Denmark always promise a perfect appearance. And the interior – boatbuilding with passion and perfection in wood and high-quality Alcantara.

The molded construction of cedar and mahogany makes the Nissen 38 particularly stable, light, and watertight. Together with the high-quality rig from Reckmann, the powerful cruising sails from UK Sailmakers, which are as good as new, as well as the high-quality sheets, halyards, and custom-made backstays with Dyna One, the Varuna has sailing characteristics that are almost reminiscent of the legendary Performance Cruiser x99.

Equipped with high-quality technical features, the Nissen 38 offers everything a modern cruising yacht needs for longer and more demanding voyages. Perfectly coordinated and visually harmonious, it blends seamlessly into the classic image of a sailing yacht.

This makes every Nissen special and the „Varuna“ unique.
