1966 Mason Sports Clipper 23

There are boats that transport you across the water—and then there are boats that transport you through time. Raroa is one of those rare boats.

Designed by legendary New Zealand boatbuilder Tony Mason, the Mason Sports Clipper 23 represented the very pinnacle of trailer boating when she was introduced in the 1960s. Elegant, beautifully proportioned and remarkably sophisticated for her era, the Clipper 23 quickly earned a reputation as one of New Zealand’s most desirable trailerable cruisers.

Today, fully restored and further enhanced with approximately $50,000 of improvements, Raroa presents an exceptional opportunity to own a genuine piece of New Zealand boating history.

She combines the character and craftsmanship of a 1960s classic with modern mechanical reliability, including a brand-new Chevrolet Blueprinted 383 405hp marine engine installed in 2025.

For the collector, classic-boat enthusiast, syndicate or simply someone who appreciates beautiful boats, Raroa is something very special.
