Crafted in New Zealand by Pilton Bloomheart and designed by Frank Pelin, La Liberté represents classic Kiwi boatbuilding at its best. Constructed in DD kauri with GOP decks, this 1996 Pelin Liberty has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded—ready for easy coastal cruising or extended adventures.

Powered by a reliable 250 hp Cummins (Vetus) diesel, she cruises efficiently between 8–11 knots, burning only 9 L/hr. Her solid hull and generous 3.9 m beam provide a stable, comfortable ride, while her recently serviced systems and new bow thruster (Sept 2025) make close-quarters handling a breeze.

Inside, La Liberté offers a warm and welcoming layout with two cabins and up to six berths—ideal for family cruising or weekends away. The galley is practical and well-equipped, featuring a 4-burner stove, microwave, and fridge/freezer setup. Her spacious saloon opens to a functional cockpit with bimini and seating for relaxed evenings at anchor.
