2012 ESPRESSO 40 - BILL UPFOLD ELITE

The 2012 Espresso 40 Bill Upfold Elite represents one of New Zealand's most respected custom launch builds, combining world-class craftsmanship with serious offshore cruising capability. At 12.2 metres in length with a generous 3.6-metre beam, this vessel offers the kind of spacious, stable platform that discerning owners demand. The shallow 0.8-metre draft opens up cruising grounds that deeper-drafted vessels simply cannot access, making her ideal for exploring the Hauraki Gulf and beyond. Built to the exacting standards synonymous with the Bill Upfold Elite name, this Espresso 40 delivers a premium interior fit-out with exceptional attention to detail throughout. The shaft drive configuration ensures reliable, efficient power delivery, while the substantial 610-litre fuel capacity provides impressive range for extended coastal passages or island-hopping adventures without the anxiety of range limitations. As a premium New Zealand-built cruising launch, she reflects the kind of local boatbuilding expertise and owner-focused specification that sets Kiwi-built vessels apart on the world stage. Whether entertaining guests on the Waitemata Harbour or heading offshore for extended cruising, this Espresso 40 delivers the performance, comfort and confidence her owner deserves. Currently located in Auckland and priced at $590,000 NZD, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special vessel.
