Nordkapp Comtesse 830 brings back the Comtesse name as a sunroof weekend cruiser

Nordkapp has introduced the Comtesse 830, bringing back the Comtesse name and starting a new series of sunroof weekend cruisers. Built on the brand’s 830 platform, it pairs an electrically operated soft top with seating for ten and sleeping for up to six. It follows awards for the Enduro 830 and recent nominations for the Airborne 5.4.

Nordkapp says the Comtesse 830 draws on 60 years of Norwegian boat design, adding a roof to the hull and layout of the Noblesse 830 that changes how owners use the boat across the day and the season. At the press of a button, the soft top opens from the windscreen for open-air cruising or closes for shelter from changeable weather or strong sun, and can be stopped at any point to adjust shade and ventilation.

Large side windows keep the view open, the open aft section links the cockpit to the swim platforms, and an aft canopy gives full enclosure with standing height in the aft cockpit.

With a 2.92-metre beam, the Comtesse 830 is wide for its size. The cockpit seats ten on a full-beam sofa, and the swivelling driver’s seat and adjustable passenger backrest bring those at the helm into the conversation when moored. The ten-person capacity has not yet been CE tested.

Below deck, a main double bed is joined by a quarterberth measuring 2 metres by 1.4 metres, while the cockpit sunbed takes one adult or two children, giving room for up to six across three sleeping areas, plus a separate toilet compartment.

The Comtesse 830 shares its non-stepped hull and traditional bow with the Noblesse 830, Coupe 830 and Enduro 830. Nordkapp says the beam gives the space of a bigger boat without the handling of one, and that the hull lets it turn like a narrower, sharper boat while keeping the stability of a wide beam. It handles the same with ten aboard as with one, the company adds.

Designed by Espen Thorup in Norway, the Comtesse 830 bridges the gap between open boats and wheelhouse boats in Nordkapp’s line-up, with the Noblesse 830 remaining for owners who prefer an open weekend cruiser.

The Comtesse 830 premiered on 26 September 2026. Orders open on 1 November 2026, with first delivery expected in January 2027. The starting price with a 300 XXL black engine is €163,300 excluding VAT.
