A serious bluewater fishing machine!
“NEO” is a rare opportunity to acquire a custom-built Pachoud Sport Fisher 40, designed and built in 2015 by New Zealand’s renowned Pachoud Yachts — a shipyard celebrated worldwide for its engineering precision and premium epoxy composite construction.
With one owner from new, under 500 hours on the engine, and a comprehensive suite of offshore equipment, NEO is ready to take on the Pacific’s big game fishing grounds without compromise.
At sea, NEO is in her element. The epoxy composite hull delivers a dry, confident ride in Pacific swells, with superb stiffness and structural integrity that inspires trust whether you’re running to the grounds at 23 knots or fighting a marlin in a heavy sea.
The Volvo Penta D4-260 paired with Z-Drive and Duo Prop propulsion delivers outstanding manoeuvrability, efficiency, and performance. With 1,400 litres of fuel and a watermaker on board, NEO has the range to reach the most remote fishing grounds in the Pacific.
The combination of the Fisher Panda generator and the Open Ocean watermaker makes NEO a fully self-sufficient offshore vessel. Extended passages and multi-day fishing trips are no problem — she produces her own water and electricity independently of any marina.
The cockpit layout has been purpose-designed for serious offshore fishing. The tuna tower gives the crew a commanding view for spotting fish, while outriggers, bait tanks, rod holders, and fish gaffs mean you arrive on the grounds fully prepared.
