The 2015 Salthouse Corsair Cabriolet 49 is one of New Zealand's most distinguished luxury power catamarans — a 15-metre, twin-hull cruiser that blends serious offshore capability with refined onboard living. Built by Salthouse, a name synonymous with premium Kiwi craftsmanship since the 1950s, this vessel represents the pinnacle of what New Zealand boatbuilding achieves when innovation meets tradition. Designed by Next Generation Boats, the Corsair Cabriolet 49 carries its 4.12-metre beam with confidence, delivering the exceptional stability that only a multihull platform can provide.
A shallow draft of just one metre opens up anchorages and waterways that monohulls simply cannot access — a genuine advantage cruising the Marlborough Sounds and beyond. Below decks, two well-appointed cabins offer comfortable overnight and extended passage accommodation, making this vessel equally at home on a weekend getaway or a longer bluewater voyage. The cabriolet design brings an open, airy character to the deck layout, letting crew and guests enjoy the surroundings without compromise.
Located in Picton at the gateway to some of New Zealand's most spectacular cruising grounds, this Salthouse is ready for its next chapter. At NZD $890,000, opportunities to acquire a vessel of this pedigree, provenance and capability are genuinely rare. Inspection will not disappoint.
