Crafted by Southern Ocean Boat Builders, the Southern Ocean 40′ Luxury Composite Cruiser combines timeless styling, modern luxury, premium composite construction, and exceptional coastal cruising capability. Designed for owners seeking more than a day boat, this elegant 40-foot monohull balances comfort, performance, and understated sophistication. Equally suited to entertaining, extended cruising, family adventures, or luxury charter operations, every detail has been carefully considered.
The deep navy hull creates a confident presence, complemented by a cloud-white cabin and superstructure. Rich teak decking, handcrafted timber finishes, polished stainless-steel hardware, and expansive outdoor living spaces reflect the craftsmanship expected of a premium New Zealand-built vessel. The spacious aft cockpit is designed for effortless entertaining and relaxation, with generous seating, integrated swim-platform access, and seamless flow into the helm and main cabin. Wide side decks, a spacious teak foredeck, and hardtop protection allow safe, comfortable movement around the boat in varied cruising conditions.
Crafted for New Zealand. Built for Generations.
Proudly designed and built in New Zealand by experienced craftsmen whose lives have been shaped by the sea, the Southern Ocean 40 reflects generations of practical boating knowledge. Every hull is built with a commitment to quality, durability, and craftsmanship suited to New Zealand’s demanding marine environment.
Designed for everything from exposed coastal passages to sheltered bays, estuaries, and island anchorages, its robust composite construction provides strength without compromising performance. A shallow 0.52-metre draft also allows access to shallow harbours, river mouths, bars, and inlets that deeper-draft cruisers cannot explore as easily.
More than a luxury cruiser, the Southern Ocean 40 is an investment in a boating lifestyle. Built using premium materials and proven construction techniques, it is designed to provide decades of dependable service and become part of a family’s story, creating memories across generations.
Southern Ocean Boat Builders have earned a reputation for beautifully crafted luxury composite vessels renowned for their strength, durability, and meticulous attention to detail. The Southern Ocean 40 continues that tradition, combining refined design, practical functionality, and proven construction in a cruiser built to be enjoyed for decades.
