The spacious cockpit is designed for easy living and entertaining, protected by a solid hardtop with full covers for comfort in all conditions.

Inside, the layout is open and functional with excellent accommodation. There are four cabins -- two doubles and two twin-single cabins -- complemented by three bathrooms, each with its own toilet and shower, providing excellent privacy and convenience when cruising with family or guests.
The starboard galley is well equipped and thoughtfully arranged with generous bench space and storage, including a double sink, induction cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. Two dinette areas, one inside and one in the cockpit, provide flexible dining and relaxation options regardless of weather or location.
Powered by twin Perkins naturally aspirated diesel engines with shaft drives, a simple and reliable setup. Each engine has its own start battery, and the house power system includes a 600Ah Enerdrive lithium bank, solar panels, and a 300W inverter. Comfort systems include air conditioning and a Stellanator AC80 watermaker producing around 70 litres per hour, making longer stays away from marinas easy.
On deck, features include a marlin board, swim platforms, and a Southern Stainless BBQ -- perfect for relaxed time at anchor. For shore access, she comes with an OC Cruising Tender (3.6m) powered by a 25hp Honda electric-start outboard.
Overall, this IMP55 is a large-volume, Australian-built blue water cruising catamaran with the space, practicality, and onboard systems to cruise confidently and enjoy life on the water.
