Built by Salthouse, this 53-foot sportfisher is a genuine New Zealand offshore fishing boat. At 16.2 metres with a 4.75-metre beam and 1.35-metre draft, she carries the solid, purposeful lines Salthouse hulls are known for, built to handle serious offshore conditions off the Bay of Plenty and beyond. Below decks, three cabins give comfortable accommodation for extended trips, crew changes or multi-day charters, as practical for family cruising as for hard-core gamefishing.
Launched in 1990, she reflects Salthouse's long-standing reputation for strong construction and able hull design. Her size and layout suit anglers chasing marlin, tuna and broadbill in the grounds off Tauranga, White Island and the wider Bay of Plenty, while the cabin layout keeps crew comfortable between bites. Now listed at a reduced NZD $325,000, this is a well-proven Salthouse sportfisher at a sharper price.
Buyers after a capable offshore platform with proven bloodlines should take a look. Inspection is available in Tauranga.
