Overview
About this vessel
Arkadia is a Kiwi-designed and built Don Senior sportfishing cruiser, and she's unreal value for money. Cranston Boat Builders built her, and Blue Fix Shipyard in Opua refitted her in 2021, so she presents like a new boat.
She has an immaculate teak cockpit, a bright modern interior, walk-around decks, stairs to a redesigned flybridge with aft controls, a cockpit head and excellent rod storage. She's a well-thought-out Kiwi game boat that's ready to fish.
Twin Cummins QSB engines were fitted during the refit and wound down by 20%, so they run well within their capacity. She cruises at 20.5 knots and tops out at 29 knots. The Don Senior hull is known for a dry ride and economical running, and a full repaint has left her with an immaculate gloss finish. She's built tough, low maintenance and suited to everything from game fishing to family cruising.
The refit included upgraded electronics, hydraulic steering, a large hot water capacity, new tanks, 660W of solar, a freshly serviced windlass and a near-new tender. Nothing has been overlooked and everything is documented.
For a turnkey, fully refitted game boat, Arkadia is hard to beat at this price.
