Donna Maree: 38ft Jorgensen and Sons Trawler/Pleasure Boat

Donna Maree’s Story

Built by Jorgensen and Sons in 1972, Donna Maree started life as a trawler for Charlie Heberley of Tory Channel, Marlborough Sounds.  Built out of single skin kauri planks and laminated hardwood ribs Donna Maree was made for Cook Strait conditions.  As such, she is solid and capable.

In is unknown who owned the Donna Maree after Heberley but at some point, she was converted into a pleasure launch.  In early 2023 the Donna Maree was listed for sale with a Gardner 6LW diesel engine capable of 8 knots with 5 berths and 2 cabins.  At the time of the sales listing the Donna Maree was berthed in Havelock.
