Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 Evolution

Currently operating in charter in Hervey Bay, Sumo is offered with a current great stream of forward bookings included in the sale, giving her new owner instant revenue and a seamless continuation of an established charter program. Add to that prepaid commercial berthing through to November 2026 if the vessel remains in the charter fleet, and you have a rare turnkey opportunity where the heavy lifting has already been done.

She has also been fastidiously maintained by her owners, with genuine pride taken in her presentation and upkeep.

Positioned in the Great Sandy Straits, the gateway to K'gari (Fraser Island), Sumo enjoys one of Australia's most protected and picturesque cruising regions. Calm waters, year-round charter appeal and easy access to the islands make this location a standout for both private use and ongoing commercial return.

Built by Fountaine Pajot, the Lipari 41 Evolution is renowned for combining generous liveaboard volume with genuine sailing performance. Sumo's three-cabin owner's version delivers excellent separation and comfort, while the light displacement and efficient sail plan keep her responsive under sail, a balance that continues to make the Lipari a favourite in both private and charter fleets worldwide.

Sumo is well-equipped for extended cruising and charter reliability, including twin Volvo D1-30 diesels, lithium house batteries, 800W of solar, Victron charging BMS, full Garmin electronics suite with radar and AIS, electric winches, and an extensive sail wardrobe including spinnaker and gennaker.

The galley-up saloon flows seamlessly into the cockpit entertaining space, while the owner's layout offers two generous queen cabins, a large double cabin, a forward single berth plus the ability to convert the saloon table into additional accommodation. The capability of berthing 8+ guests is a huge benefit for bare boat charter or private coastal cruising with friends and family.

She also boasts a beautifully sized ensuite on the master cabin side and another large head and shower on the port side that provides ample comfort and space for guests.

A Highfield RIB with 9.8hp outboard, BBQ, cockpit clears and full inventory round out a vessel that is ready to continue working or slip effortlessly into private ownership.
