About this vessel
Purpose built and designed specifically for New Zealand conditions, Judahn is a proven Don Senior 13.8m motor yacht renowned for her solid construction, excellent sea-keeping ability, and practical cruising layout. Don Senior vessels are well respected for their strength and longevity, and Judahn is a fine example of this classic Kiwi design.
In 2014, Judahn underwent an extensive 18-month refit at the highly regarded Spencer Marine, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and long-term ownership confidence.

The vessel was also converted to shaft drive, providing dependable mechanical simplicity and efficient cruising. She cruises comfortably at 18 knots, making her well suited to coastal passages and extended trips alike.
