Overview
About this vessel
"NORSEMAN III" is a very well presented early 1980's Channel Craft Motor Cruiser. She is a proven long-range cruiser with great range (3000 litre fuel capacity and 700 litres of water).
Step aboard one of the most respected cruisers ever built in Tasmania. These designs are well known in Tasmanian maritime circles as reliable and dependable sea going vessels which have been used mainly as commercial vessels (Police, Ports, Fishing and the like), and the Norseman III was built to survey and was kept in survey until about 4 years ago (2022), as the owners no longer felt it necessary.
Key Features

This beautifully presented "workhorse" with modern updates makes her an ideal cruiser for extended coastal cruising or comfortable liveaboard life!
"NORSEMAN III" is located at a private wharf at Prince of Wales Bay and is exceptional buying at $289,990.
