The 2017 Salthouse Southstar 37 is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely New Zealand-built performance cruiser from one of the country's most respected boat building dynasties. Salthouse Boat Builders has been producing world-class vessels from their Auckland yard for decades, and the Southstar 37 represents the pinnacle of their craft — a 12-metre monohull that balances offshore capability with refined onboard comfort. Stretching 12 metres on the waterline with a generous 3.91m beam, this vessel carries herself with purpose.
The remarkably shallow 0.5m draft opens up anchorages and estuaries that deeper-keeled boats simply cannot access, making her an ideal candidate for exploring New Zealand's intricate coastal waterways from the Bay of Islands to the Marlborough Sounds. Below decks, a well-appointed single cabin layout prioritises quality over quantity — the fit-out typical of Salthouse builds is precise, durable and built to last. Currently listed as Under Contract, this speaks volumes about demand for genuine Kiwi-built quality at this level.
If you've been searching for a capable, handcrafted New Zealand cruiser with serious pedigree, the Salthouse Southstar 37 deserves your full attention. Contact the team at 36 Degrees for further details.
