Classic and timeless are the hallmarks of Te Whara V, defined by her traditional bulwarks, port-lights set into the lower coamings, and a sweeping sheer line.
Designed and built for a discerning third-time client who had a clear vision, Te Whara V embodies a no-nonsense, capable cruising motor yacht, purpose-built for extended passages around New Zealand’s coastline in comfort and safety. Every piece of equipment was meticulously selected for its longevity and reliability, exemplified by the twin Scania de-rated engines—a testament to this philosophy.
The motor yacht’s teak timber interior, skillfully crafted by the experts at Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders, aligns perfectly with its traditional, classic theme, showcasing an exceptional level of craftsmanship.
The collaboration between the experienced client, designer, and boatbuilder resulted in a vessel that stands out as an enduring masterpiece. As one magazine review aptly noted: “Not just a boat, but a legend, a history, and a collaboration.”
