NAUTIC CUSTOM SPORTFISHER (BUILT TO SURVEY)

Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built 14.5-metre Nautic Custom Sportfisher, designed by the highly regarded Arch McTainsh and constructed to full commercial survey standard - a testament to her build quality, structural integrity, and offshore capability. Twin Yanmar 6LY3A diesels, each delivering 480hp for a combined 960hp, were new in 2006 and now carry approximately 1,400 hours - engines well within their service life and representing outstanding reliability for serious bluewater work. With a top speed of approximately 29 knots, this vessel is built to reach the grounds quickly and handle whatever conditions arise. Below decks, a well-appointed aft galley features generous bench space, ideal for extended offshore passages and multi-day sportfishing expeditions. Ground tackle is no afterthought - a 33kg Rocna anchor paired with a Maxwell winch ensures confident deployment in any anchorage. Based in Auckland and survey-compliant, this vessel opens doors for both private use and commercial charter operation. For the serious offshore fisherman or working skipper seeking a proven, survey-ready platform with genuine performance credentials, this McTainsh-built Sportfisher is a compelling proposition at NZD $549,000.
