Overview
About this vessel
This is a vessel that launch owners and ex-sail boaters can easily adjust to and sit back in some elegance and comfort. Manaaki is a 2012 Norseman 500 C that has provided many memorable days on the water to her current owners and is now ready to be sold and provide the same for you.
A fast trawler with a semi-displacement hull, she is powered by twin Cummins QSC 480hp diesel engines, delivering a cruise speed of 12-15 knots (the economy of a trawler) and top speeds up to 23 knots (the speed of a cruiser). This offers the best of both worlds, especially for long-range extended passage making at low speeds.
Along with her impressive powerhouse, Manaaki is equipped with an array of other features.
The open flybridge configuration provides an attractive space with great perspective for crew to join the captain when underway. With the tender stowed above, the cockpit and hydraulic boarding platform remain clear at all times — ideal when entertaining near the saloon.
Berthing capacity is across three well-sized cabins, with two separate internal electric heads with showers as well as an external cockpit shower. The hot water cylinder was replaced at the start of 2025, running both as electric and heat exchange.
Manaaki currently sits in Westhaven and has options around her berth also available to the next owner. She presents as an attractive trawler, whether on the water or moored in your favourite bay.
