The Coupe series by Nordkapp
A look behind the concept
Our Coupe series blends comfort and sportiness with intelligent, user-centric solutions—perfect for adventures in any season.
For those who refuse to let changing seasons dictate their time on the water, the wheelhouse boat is an excellent choice. With an enclosed helm and cabin area, these boats provide sanctuary from the Mediterranean sun and the late-autumn rains of the Nordics. Ideal for commuting, leisurely cruises, and ambitious voyages, they offer a comfortable, secure environment in all weather.
The story of the Coupe series
A desire sparked for a liveaboard boat with the unmistakable Nordkapp touch. The launch of the Coupe 905 in 2019 marked Nordkapp's entry into the world of wheelhouse boats, instantly becoming our flagship model.
Designer Espen Thorup crafted an entirely new hull for the 905, and the boat became praised for its exceptional sea handling, elegance, and signature functionality.
Catering to those searching for a refined boating experience, the Coupe 905 set the standard for the entire series. In 2022, the series evolved again in response to Mercury's unveiling of the 600 HP Verado V12 engine.
Embracing the challenge, we reinforced the 905's hull to harness the immense torque. The result was the Coupe 905 V12, one of the first vessels powered by the new engine.
We introduced the Coupe 830 in 2023, as demand grew for a broader range of wheelhouse boats. An immediate success, it became one of our most celebrated launches to date.
By 2024, the series expanded further with the Coupe 780—a commuter-focused design offering a more streamlined and accessible option yet retaining the style and versatility of its larger siblings.
Insights from lead designer Espen Thorup
The vision for the Coupe series was to create a versatile range of boats that embody the Scandinavian emphasis on functionality while appealing to a global audience. Balancing this ambition with Nordkapp's DNA presented a unique challenge, requiring the team to develop a distinct identity for the series without compromising the brand's core principles.
When asked about his favourite features, Thorup explains that the Coupe's uniqueness doesn't stem from a single element but from the harmony of its functions working together. "In a multipurpose concept like a coupe-style boat, every detail must be given the space and attention it needs to meet the demands of its users," he says.
Looking to the future, Thorup envisions the Coupe series evolving through continuous feedback from owners and dealers. This approach will refine the design language and open the door to new opportunities with each project.
He highlights the importance of balancing a comprehensive feature set tailored to the boat's size while leveraging insights from existing models. Each new addition, he insists, must push the boundaries of what the series can offer.
Nordkapp Coupe 905 V12
When ultimate performance is paramount, the Coupe 905 V12 stands unrivalled. As the crown jewel of the series, it boasts the world's most powerful outboard engine with 600 HP.
The reinforced hull, custom-built to manage the immense torque, sets this vessel apart from the standard Coupe 905.
Thanks to the engine's independent, steerable gearcase, the 905 V12 also offers a more spacious bathing platform. Bold aesthetics, tinted windows, and black railings accentuate its sporty and edgy appearance, befitting a vessel aptly nicknamed "The Beast".
