A Rare Opportunity to Own a Truly Exceptional Launch, Chancery.
Chancery is an immaculate Kennedy 46, beautifully enhanced with the renowned Upfold designed “Elite” styled hardtop, creating a vessel of rare calibre, pedigree, and presence.
Built by Kennedy Boats to an exceptionally high standard using triple‑diagonal kauri, GRP sheathing and later refined with the addition of the Upfold hard top fitted by Vaudrey – Miller Boat builders, she represents the very best of traditional New Zealand boatbuilding.
Presented in outstanding condition, Chancery has benefitted from meticulous long-term ownership and an uncompromising upgrade programme, with well over $300,000 invested in recent years. A full exterior repaint in 2024, including hull, topsides, flybridge and cockpit surfaces, brings her visually close to a near-new vessel, this was further enhanced in 2021 with an internal paint-out and the finishing touches to the varnished timberwork on the exterior.
Powered by twin 250hp Volvo TAMD60C turbo diesels and serviced annually, she delivers economical and comfortable cruising at 14-15 knots, with her sea‑kindliness that has proven itself on many passages on our Northern East coast, including a Wellington / Marlborough Sound trip a few years back. Underwater exhausts keep her remarkably quiet underway, while twin stations with Morse controls and a Side-power bow thruster give superb manoeuvrability.
Inside, Chancery features warm teak joinery, a generous saloon, functional galley with dinette, and the stylishly designed flybridge accessed internally – a highly desirable Kennedy feature. Accommodation includes four forward berths, an aft owners’ cabin with en-suite, and an additional flybridge berth option.
Chancery comes to the market ready to go boating with all servicing up to date, including Antifoul, Prop Speed, engine servicing and a polish completed in Feb, 2026.
Chancery is truly one of the finest Kennedys afloat – a beautifully presented, fastidiously maintained, premium launch ready for her next discerning owner.
