The 2012 Norseman 500C is a serious bluewater cruising yacht that commands attention at the dock and inspires confidence offshore. Stretching 15.9 metres on a 4.57-metre beam with a modest 1.15-metre draft, this well-proportioned monohull offers an exceptional balance of interior volume and seakeeping ability. Built by Hyshen Ship Building in Taiwan — a yard with a strong reputation for quality offshore passage makers — this vessel reflects the robust construction standards that discerning bluewater sailors demand.
The three-cabin layout provides generous accommodation for extended passagemaking or liveaboard life, with ample space for couples, families or a sailing crew. Taiwan-built yachts of this era are renowned for their structural integrity, quality joinery and fit-out detail, and the Norseman 500C is no exception. Currently located in Auckland, New Zealand, this yacht sits at the gateway to the Pacific and is perfectly positioned for island cruising, offshore passages or extended bluewater voyaging.
Whether you're planning a circumnavigation or seeking a premium coastal cruiser with passagemaking credentials, the Norseman 500C represents a rare opportunity. Priced at NZD $549,000, inspect today and prepare to cast off.
