This delivery involved relocating an immaculate Maritimo 52 from the Gold Coast across the Tasman Sea to Opua, New Zealand.
Tasman crossings on motor yachts require careful weather routing and fuel planning, particularly when timing departures around frontal systems moving across the southern Tasman. Departing from Gold Coast, conditions for most of the passage remained manageable and allowed steady progress toward Opua.
The Maritimo 52 handled the crossing extremely well. Motor yachts in this category are highly regarded for offshore coastal cruising with comfortable motion, practical long-range capability, and efficient passagemaking at sensible cruising speeds. Fuel bladders and a reliable transfer system enable higher fuel burn giving higher avearge nautical miles a day and decreasing the sea time.
At Yacht Delivery Solutions, offshore motor yacht deliveries between Australia and New Zealand form a regular part of our trans-Tasman relocation operations.
