Don Senior 14.6 Flybridge

New Zealand Craftsmanship. Generous Cruising Comfort.

Melody is a beautifully presented Don Senior 14.6m flybridge launch, designed and built in New Zealand by Don Senior. Originally constructed by him for his own use, her cedar-cored epoxy composite hull, glass-sheathed inside and out, combines traditional boatbuilding craftsmanship with modern composite strength.
Today, Melody is owned by Kevin, himself a highly respected Devonport boat builder. The continuity of knowledgeable ownership is evident in her condition, comprehensive maintenance records and thoughtful ongoing upgrades.

Key features include:

- Twin 306hp Volvo Penta diesels with 14-16-knot cruising speed
- Electric bow thruster and twin helm stations
- Westerbeke generator, comprehensively refurbished mid-2025
- Spacious enclosed flybridge with sink and drinks fridge
- Two double berths, four single berths and two electric heads
- Generous cockpit with two fridges, barbecue and sink
- Electric foredeck crane
- 2021 Seafarer tender with 15hp Mercury outboard

The bright saloon, practical galley, generous accommodation and three distinct living areas make Melody particularly well suited to extended family cruising, relaxed holidays aboard or entertaining friends. Her semi-displacement hull offers dependable sea-keeping and comfortable performance across New Zealand's varied coastal conditions.

Few launches in this price range combine such distinguished New Zealand provenance, space, cruising capability and evident care. For buyers seeking a substantial and beautifully presented coastal cruiser, Melody is one to evaluate on her merits.
