A distinguished example of New Zealand craftsmanship, this Kennedy 46 — designed by the respected collaboration of Kennedy and Bill Upfold — presents as a refined and capable offshore cruiser measuring 15.1 metres. Power comes from twin Volvo TAMD60C turbocharged diesel engines, each producing 250hp, with the port engine logging 3,580 hours and starboard at 3,417 hours as of February 2026. Both engines were freshly serviced in February 2026, underlining the meticulous maintenance ethic that defines this vessel's six-year documented service history.
The Elite Style hardtop adds a commanding presence on the water while providing all-weather protection for serious passage-making. Below decks, accommodation is genuinely generous: four singles forward and a private double aft cabin complete with its own ensuite — a convenience also accessible directly from the cockpit, perfect for entertaining guests. The dual heads configuration enhances liveability for extended cruising.
The teak-over-ply deck delivers timeless aesthetic appeal, and recent cosmetic investment is evident throughout — exterior repaint in March 2024, new carpet and interior polish completed February 2026, and new house batteries installed March 2025. This vessel is move-aboard ready, comprehensively maintained, and represents exceptional value in the New Zealand luxury cruiser market at NZD $395,000.
