COMMENTS
Lady Karita is a true NZ classic launch designed and built by Sam Ford in 1943. She was extensively refurbished by the previous owner from 2015–2023. The vessel was in MNZ Passenger Survey operating out of Havelock for a local tourist lodge until 2015. A rare find with a beautifully crafted interior. Turns heads wherever she goes!
