Overview
About this vessel
The Captain Wave 430 is a 2025 built 43 ft aluminium power cat currently operating as a charter vessel in Hobart. Purpose-built for commercial use, she offers a clean, practical layout for passenger comfort, with a spacious deck and saloon arrangement, three cabins accommodating up to seven guests, and two bathrooms with separate showers.
Powered by twin Mercury SeaPro 300 hp DTS engines with 230 hours each, she is listed with a 10 knot cruise and up to 15 knots. The vessel is in AMSA survey as 1D for 30 passengers and 2C for 12 passengers, making her well suited to operators looking for a ready to go platform.
A key advantage is the remaining new boat warranty on hull structure and engines for a further 30 months, with major systems described as in excellent working order. Equipment listed includes twin Quick Italy BTQ 185 bow thrusters, a Powerstar 8 kW marine genset, Garmin navigation electronics with radar and autopilot, Mercury SmartCraft monitoring, night vision camera, and underwater LED lighting.
Ideal use cases include harbour and coastal sightseeing, day charter operations, whale watching, fishing charters, dive and eco tours, or private cruising with the option to run commercially.
