Overview
About this vessel
Freedom Ecotours Pty Ltd and Freedom 3 Pty Ltd (together "the Business") operate the highly regarded "Freedom Whale Watch" service from the Great Sandy Straits Marina, Urangan, Hervey Bay. The Business offers premium, small-group (maximum 48-50 passengers) full-day humpback whale watching experiences in the calm waters of Platypus Bay, together with private charters and summer season cruises.
Freedom III is a 58 foot Power Catamaran, designed for and owned by the documentary filmmaker Ben Cropp. Purpose-built for comfort and stability, it features three decks and a water-level platform. Fitted with Iveco engines, Twin Disc transmission, Simrad electronics, and full passenger amenities, the vessel is suitable for day cruises, sunset experiences, private charters, and overnight stays.
The operation is the only Google 5-star rated whale watching cruise in Hervey Bay and holds Ecotourism Australia accreditation. It benefits from strong demand, excellent guest reviews (3,500+ five-star reviews across platforms), and a well-established brand, website (freedomwhalewatch.com.au), and booking systems.
The current owner is selling due to a planned relocation to the Sydney region to be closer to family.
The sale includes the two companies, the vessel Freedom III (58 foot power catamaran), the passenger transfer bus, all relevant permits and licences, plant and equipment, and digital assets.
