Overview
About this vessel
Ocean Enigma
A 25m Australian-built commercial charter and expedition vessel presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire a proven, highly versatile vessel that is currently operating successfully in the Whitsundays and ready to continue earning from day one.
What really sets Ocean Enigma apart is the breadth of her AMSA commercial survey capability: 1B - 20 passengers + 5 crew; 1C - 70 passengers + 5 crew; 1D - 100 passengers + 4 crew; 2B - 12 passengers + 5 crew. That versatility opens the door to an unusually broad range of commercial operations from offshore and multi-day dive charters to luxury private cruising, corporate functions, weddings, large-group events, island transfers and extended charter operations.
Ocean Enigma is fully crewed and currently operating successfully within an established Whitsundays charter operation, offering private charters from Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island. Existing operations include Whitehaven Beach excursions, Outer Great Barrier Reef trips, diving and snorkelling experiences, corporate and private functions and large-group charters.
Built in Western Australia, Ocean Enigma was designed to operate comfortably in Australian waters and combines serious commercial capability with the comfort expected from a premium charter vessel. Her substantial aft deck is particularly well suited to diving and snorkelling operations, while generous upper-deck and internal spaces allow her to comfortably transition into corporate entertaining, celebrations and larger private functions. She offers air-conditioned comfort throughout, a fully equipped galley and multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.
Accommodation comprises four cabins -- three doubles plus a bunk cabin -- with three bathrooms, providing genuine multi-day capability for approximately 8-10 overnight guests.
Ocean Enigma's commercial potential extends well beyond conventional day charter. Her large aft working deck provides an excellent platform for scuba diving, snorkelling and expedition operations, and can accommodate a large tender for guest transfers to beaches, dive locations and remote anchorages. With a reported 18-knot cruising speed and approximately 28-knot maximum speed, she combines the passenger capacity of a considerably larger vessel with the ability to move efficiently between destinations.
Perhaps the strongest selling point is simply the number of different ways Ocean Enigma can earn. She can operate as a high-capacity day charter vessel one day, host a corporate function or celebration the next, undertake specialist dive or reef operations, and then transition into smaller-group extended or offshore charter work. That combination of AMSA survey categories, passenger capacity, accommodation, dive capability, speed and existing commercial operation is difficult to replicate without significant capital expenditure, survey work and time.
The vessel remains fully operational and crewed and is offered as a genuine turnkey opportunity.
