Catamaran – put back into charter or use her as a pleasure boat

NZ$280,000 plus GST if applicable

This professionally built ex charter catamaran has been lightly used and well maintained all its life. Now in private ownership at Stewart Island. Purchase her either as a pleasure boat or put her back to work with a fresh charter survey (vessel has NZMSA planning approval). Owned by a professional ship owner, this vessel is now surplus. Would make a great vessel for Stewart Island, Marlborough Sounds or Bay of Islands. An inspection will not disappoint. Please note, that there is a slipway suitable at Stewart Island enabling buyers to carry out an out of water inspection without going to the mainland – use of slip may require a few days notice though.
