46' Salthouse Brothers NZ Venus Bluewater Cruiser

Salthouse Venus 46 Bluewater Cruiser Ketch

PRICE DROPPED!! NOW ONLY ASKING AU$185,000 (will consider any reasonable offers)

This stunning yacht has a sleek hull designed by the Salthouse Brothers, New Zealand and is a very luxurious live aboard/bluewater cruiser.
It is turn key ready to set sail tomorrow! These boats were built strong and we've found her to be very sturdy in any seas which makes her quite a safe vessel for worldwide cruising.

It must be seen in person to be able to appreciate its absolute beauty... With her sleek lines and craftmanship teak interiors as well as spacious cabins (each with their own private ensuite) this yacht is a catch at such a low asking price! They usually go on the market with a minumum of a US$200,000 asking price but we're ready to accept less for a faster sale.

There were only a handful of these luxury cruising yachts built, 17 in total... Which makes her a rare vessel.
The hull was designed by the Salthouse Brothers New Zealand, built in South Korea and then the rest was fully decked out with imported American equipment by the first owner.

She has a very spacious aft master cabin (2 Double berths 1.40m x 1.90m each) with its own private head and separate shower stall; plus there is also ample space in the forward V-Berth stateroom, which also has its own head and shower.
She can accommodate 6 people in comfort; plus the saloon table converts to another double berth for any extra guests. Sleeping 8 people in total.

Important Note: This vessel has been imported into Australia, with all taxes and fees fully paid!

Recent upgrades May 2017:
New 200w Solar Panel installed (now total 500w for charging)
Saloon and chart table cushions re-upholstered
Maintenance done on the in-mast roller furler (new bearings, greased etc. )
New pics have been added to the website venus46forsale. Webs. Com
