Tug MIRAGE

1999 Nordic Tug 32 – MIRAGE

MIRAGE is a beautifully kept example of the sought-after Nordic Tug 32—a rugged, fuel-efficient coastal cruiser with timeless tugboat styling and quality American craftsmanship. Built in 1999, MIRAGE reflects the classic Nordic Tug design with a full pilothouse, bold sheer line, and spacious, single-stateroom layout ideal for a cruising couple or solo adventurer.

Powered by a dependable Cummins 6BT 220hp diesel engine, MIRAGE offers an impressive balance of economy and performance, cruising comfortably at 7–8 knots while capable of reaching speeds up to 13 knots when needed. Her keel-cooled engine with dry exhaust—a signature feature of early Nordic Tugs—enhances reliability and simplifies maintenance.

The bright and airy salon features wraparound windows, an L-shaped settee with a convertible dinette, and a well-equipped galley with propane stove, oven, and ample storage. Step up into the pilothouse, where dual side doors provide easy deck access, and enjoy outstanding 360-degree visibility from the helm. Below, the forward cabin includes a generous V-berth with filler, hanging lockers, and an ensuite head with separate stall shower.

Additional highlights include:

• Bow thruster for confident maneuvering
• Full electronics suite with autopilot, GPS, and VHF
• Inverter and shore power with charger
• Spacious cockpit and swim platform for easy boarding
• Newer canvas and exterior upholstery
• Teak interior joinery in excellent condition

MIRAGE has been thoughtfully maintained and is turnkey for her next adventure—whether that’s a quiet weekend at anchor, a summer of exploring the Chesapeake, or the full Great Loop.
