The Hallberg-Rassy 54 needs no introduction among serious bluewater sailors. Built in 2008 at the legendary Swedish yard in Ellös, this 16.74-metre centre-cockpit sloop represents the pinnacle of offshore cruising design — a yacht engineered for couples and families who intend to go anywhere, in any conditions, in absolute confidence. With a beam of 4.70 metres and a draft of 2.30 metres, the HR54 delivers exceptional stability and seakeeping.
Below, three separate cabins offer genuine privacy — an aft owner's stateroom, a forward guest cabin, and a crew or third cabin — all finished to Hallberg-Rassy's benchmark Scandinavian standard. Teak joinery, meticulous build quality, and thoughtful ergonomics define every interior surface. The centre cockpit layout provides a secure, protected helm position well suited to offshore passages, with the aft cabin creating a natural sound and privacy barrier between the owner's quarters and guests forward.
Hallberg-Rassy's trademark bowsprit, double-spreader rig, and high-volume hull form make ocean miles efficient and genuinely enjoyable. Currently based in Opua — New Zealand's northern gateway for Pacific cruising — this vessel is positioned for immediate offshore adventure. At NZD $1,199,000, ownership of one of the most sought-after bluewater yachts on the market rarely comes better placed.
