Custom 16.8m Sailing Motor Yacht "Tropic Rover"

With twin shaft drive diesels, this substantial Motor Yacht is easily manoeuvred and ideal for extended coastal charter work or cruising for pleasure with the security of secondary systems.

Originally constructed to service the Great Barrier Reef Eco Tours industry, this proven vessel has extensively cruised the Australian coastline including the Kimberly Region and the Timor Sea. It was even chartered by the author of the classic film Jaws to study the behaviour of sharks, starred in documentaries, the TV Series "Flipper" and was chartered by National Geographic.

With accommodation for eleven in five cabins along with three bathrooms, this substantial vessel is ideally suited to Expedition cruising for research or to simply satisfy an adventurous spirit. The twin Ford 120Hp mains push her along between 8 and 10 knots when not under sail and a Modra 15Kva generator supports all onboard systems. The 1C survey allows for 20 day passengers and the 1B survey allows for up to 13 Berthed passengers including three crew.

Tropic Rover is a versatile commercial charter vessel or it may suit the new owners to simply take her cruising to remote destinations. Currently berthed in Fremantle and available for handover by a genuine seller who requires an immediate sale. Put some thought into whether this impressive vessel can work for you in business or play.
