Salthouse 65 With new electronics and paint job

SALTHOUSE 65 - "MV KAHALA"

Serious Oceangoing Motor Yacht | Built in New Zealand

If you're searching for a true offshore-capable motor yacht with pedigree, performance, and recent upgrades, MV Kahala demands your attention.

Built in New Zealand, the Salthouse name is synonymous with quality construction and vessels designed to handle real ocean conditions. Renowned for producing serious, long-range motor yachts, Salthouse boats are purpose-built--not mass-produced--and Kahala is a prime example.

Currently lying in Port Lincoln, South Australia, Kahala is set up for liveaboard sports fishing, with her current owner enjoying extended offshore trips targeting the elusive Southern Bluefin Tuna.

Highlights:
New paint
New Kew props
Extensive new electronics package
Proven long-range performance
Full logbooks, service history & documentation from current and previous owners
Previously in NSW Waterways Survey (2B / 1C / 1E)

MV Kahala offers comfortable, practical accommodation for extended cruising or liveaboard use, featuring three cabins and multiple bathrooms. The master V-berth cabin is located forward and includes its own private en-suite. To starboard is a double-bunk cabin, while the port side features a twin-berth cabin, ideal for guests or crew.

In addition, the vessel is equipped with a day/shared bathroom and head, as well as a convenient on-deck bathroom and head, making her well-suited for offshore fishing trips and extended time at sea.

If you want it more luxury-leaning or more rugged sportfishing-focused, I can tweak the tone in seconds.
