Undeniable design pedigree from the pen of legendary NZ designer Alan Warwick and constructed in Tauranga to the highest standards by Donald Boatbuilders Shimea offers the perfect blend of large, sumptuous internal spaces and sheltered outdoor lounging/recreational areas.
With a long history of extremely dedicated maintenance and improvement her overall condition needs to be viewed to be appreciated.
The raised cockpit floor flows seamlessly through to the saloon on the same level creating excellent flow and connection between spaces whilst the cleverly designed cockpit seating opens to reveal cavernous storage underneath and behind.
High quality materials and finishes combined with naturally light open living spaces give an apartment like feel to the main saloon/galley area and the deep, plush leather settees have to be amongst the most comfortable around (both for lounging and as extra sleeping accommodation).
Two private cabins offer berths for 5 ( 2 x double, 1 x single) and ample storage. On opposite sides of the companionway are separate head and shower rooms.
Heading up top the flybridge has a large floor area and creates both a sheltered, comfortable helm area and a versatile second social area which can be fully enclosed or open on all sides to let the breeze flow through.
Robust, rigid construction matched to iconic Warwick hull design provides a soft, stable ride with a seamless transition from displacement to planing speeds and excellent economy.
Shimea is a truly unique and well proven example of NZ design and build excellence offered in outstanding condition at an attractive price. Do not hesitate to contact our sales team to arrange a viewing in Westhaven.
