The Don – 56ft of Proven New Zealand Cruising Capability

Tutukaka Berth also available POA

Launched in 2002 and built with strength, comfort, and practicality in mind, The Donis a substantial 17-metre launch designed for serious coastal cruising while providing the space and amenities expected of a true floating home. With her solid fibreglass hull, thoughtful layout, and dependable twin diesel power, she represents a compelling opportunity for anyone seeking a capable and comfortable cruising vessel in this size range.

Powered by twin Cummins 6BTA 5.9L after-cooled diesel engines producing 370hp each, The Don delivers reliable performance and the confidence that comes with one of the most respected marine engine platforms ever produced. Stainless shafts, four-blade bronze propellers, hydraulic Capilano steering, and a well-engineered drivetrain combine to give smooth and dependable handling from the flybridge helm.

Step inside and you’ll find a spacious interior designed for extended stays aboard. The accommodation layout provides excellent versatility with a generous forward master cabin featuring a walk-around berth, complemented by two guest cabins offering multiple sleeping arrangements. In total, The Don comfortably accommodates family and friends for extended cruising. A well-appointed bathroom with electric toilet, hot shower, and heated towel rail adds to the onboard comfort.

The raised saloon is bright, welcoming, and practical, featuring a large U-shaped leather lounge, chart table with navigation station, and excellent storage throughout. Just aft, the well-equipped U-shaped galley offers everything required for life aboard, including a gas hob, dishwasher, convection microwave, double sink with waste disposer, and generous refrigeration.

Outdoor living is equally well catered for. The Don carries a 3m Seafarer inflatable tender with Yamaha outboard, easily launched and retrieved using the electric crane mounted on the dinghy deck. Wide decks, stainless rails, and multiple hatches and dorade vents ensure both safety and excellent ventilation throughout the vessel.

With her robust build, comfortable accommodation, and reliable twin-engine performance, The Don is ideally suited for extended cruising, entertaining, or even liveaboard life. Vessels of this size and capability are rarely available in such a practical and well-thought-out package.

The Don is ready for her next chapter on the water.
