Offered for sale is Rosemary, a 53-foot aluminium expedition yacht with an strong pedigree and proven track record in high-latitude and bluewater cruising. Built by renowned French yard Meta and custom designed by Jobert-Nivelt, Rosemary was conceived for strength, autonomy, and global exploration.
Launched in 1999 and featured in the book Wild Seas to Greenland as well as Boating NZ, she has sailed from the Arctic to the tropics -- a rare find for serious offshore adventurers seeking a self-sufficient, go-anywhere vessel. Her robust aluminium hull (11mm plate) and cutter rig make her as capable as she is comfortable.
Currently located in Opua, New Zealand, Rosemary has been meticulously maintained and continuously upgraded by her owners. She is fully offshore-ready, Cat 1 certified, and offered as a truly turn-key liveaboard or expedition platform. A full survey (including hull) was completed in 2021 and is available on request.

Expedition-built aluminium hull with 3,000L fuel capacity for extreme range
