Boden 34

Meet Sooty Tern, a classic Australian-built Boden 34 that punches well above her weight. Built from solid steel and designed for real-world cruising, this well-loved flybridge motor cruiser is ready to take her next owners on countless weekends and adventures along some of the most beautiful waterways in the country.

There is generous space onboard for a 34-footer, shaded by a canvas cover and finished with a wide full-transom bench that doubles as a sun lounger. It's a space that genuinely delivers, especially with the onboard Weber BBQ.

At the heart of the boat is a mid-mounted Ford Mermaid 200hp diesel engine with just 210 hours on the clock.

Up on the flybridge, panoramic views make every passage a pleasure with excellent sightlines for docking.

Below decks the layout is sensible and comfortable. The forward cabin sleeps four across two sets of bunks, with the lower berths being generously wide singles.

Safety gear includes 10 life jackets, flares, anchor and winch, bilge pump, navigation lights and radio. Three batteries and a mid-ship generator keep everything running reliably.

Antifouled in 2026 with recent new batteries, toilet and stern gland, Sooty Tern offers a genuinely affordable and capable package that is very hard to beat.
