The 2015 Salthouse Corsair Cabriolet 49 represents the pinnacle of New Zealand custom boat building — a sophisticated 15-metre multihull crafted by Salthouse, one of the country's most respected and storied marine manufacturers. Designed by Next Generation Boats, this impressive vessel combines cutting-edge design philosophy with the build quality that has made Salthouse a benchmark in Australasian boating circles. Stretching 15 metres with a beam of 4.12 metres and a remarkably shallow draft of just 1.0 metre, the Corsair Cabriolet 49 is perfectly engineered for the breathtaking waterways of the Marlborough Sounds and beyond.
The multihull configuration delivers exceptional stability and spacious deck areas rarely found in similarly sized monohulls, while the cabriolet layout offers an open, airy saloon experience synonymous with luxury cruising. Below decks, two well-appointed cabins provide comfortable accommodation for owners and guests, making extended coastal passages or weekend getaways equally inviting. The shallow draft opens up anchorages inaccessible to deeper vessels — a significant advantage in New Zealand's island-dotted waters.
Currently located in Picton — the gateway to the Sounds — this vessel is ready to explore one of the world's great cruising destinations. Priced at NZD $890,000, the Salthouse Corsair Cabriolet 49 is a rare opportunity to acquire a prestige New Zealand-built multihull. Inspection is strongly encouraged.
