Nordic Tugs emerged from a time of oil shortages in the 1970s. Inspired by the fuel-efficiency and sturdy design of traditional tugboats, Jerry Husted and Lynn Senour created a new type of powerboat. The first Nordic Tug, introduced in 1980, was a 26-foot vessel with a classic tugboat profile and a semi-displacement hull designed for efficiency.
The Nordic Tug’s success was immediate. Its combination of classic aesthetics, fuel efficiency, and comfortable living quarters resonated with boaters seeking a more relaxed and sustainable cruising experience. The company quickly expanded its product line, introducing larger models and refining its designs to meet evolving customer preferences.
Today, Nordic Tugs remains a respected name in the boating industry, known for its commitment to quality, durability, and timeless design. The company’s vessels continue to be popular among those who appreciate the simplicity and efficiency of traditional tugboats, combined with modern amenities and comfort.
