Designed by the legendary Bob Salthouse and built in 1998, this 13.03-metre motor sailor represents the pinnacle of New Zealand bluewater cruising craftsmanship. Salthouse is a name synonymous with quality, innovation and offshore capability in Australasian boating circles, and this vessel is a fine example of that enduring legacy. Spanning an impressive beam of 4.54 metres, this monohull offers exceptional stability and interior volume rarely found in vessels of this length.
Three separate cabins provide genuine liveaboard or extended passage-making comfort, making her equally suited to a cruising couple seeking privacy or a family embarking on extended offshore adventures. With a draft of 1.5 metres, she strikes an excellent balance between bluewater performance and access to shallower anchorages — a practical advantage for exploring New Zealand's stunning coastline and beyond. Now offered at a reduced price of NZD $275,000 and located in Wellington, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a distinguished piece of New Zealand boatbuilding history.
Whether you're planning coastal passages, island hopping across the Pacific, or simply seeking a capable and characterful cruising vessel, this Salthouse Motor Sailor deserves serious consideration. Inspection strongly recommended.
