Custom designed and constructed to replicate 19th century Pearl Lugger's of the era, the "Willie" was launched in 1985 by the then owner operator who conducted charters throughout the Broome tourist season and around local West Australian waters during the summer months. For an extended period, extensive overseas cruising was carried out with many exotic Asian destinations visited. For the last decade the vessel has been in the hands of an experienced commercial operator and received a new lease on life in 2018 which included new mast's and rigging, new 22.5Kva ONAN Generator, complete rewiring and extensive out of water servicing. The robust Gardner 8LXB uses only 10 liters per hour at 8 knots and is probably the most highly regarded engine ever produced for reliability and longevity. With a current survey for up to 30 passengers, there is an immediate opportunity to return this vessel to work and generate an income and lifestyle for the next owner. There is also extensive accommodation in three cabins with seven single bunks and a double in the master suite. The large deck space is an appealing "Chill Zone" with plenty of seating, day beds and a central bar for hosting celebrations, either privately, or for corporate charters. This is an iconic vessel that is ready for an established operator looking to compliment their existing business, ideal for an energetic operator looking to get established in the industry, or simply a lifestyle choice for those who want to spend a lifetime on the water exploring wherever the seasons take you.
