Owners would like to highlight the flexibility of this unique vessel.  She is a low draft vessel combined with a low air draft, making her exceptionally useful for river cruising where  there are low bridges and shallow channels.  In addition because of her beam she is an excellent sea boat and the Owners have used her in the open waters of Port Phillip Bay where beam seas would make the ride uncomfortable on many vessels. The vessel is not equipped with a fixed galley as this would take up space which is better used for passengers.  When used for catered functions it is easy to set up temporary catering facilities.  Owner feel that the flexibility that the vessel offers will make her a very useful addition to any tourist fleet.

 

Potential buyers should note that due to her seakeeping capabilities she could be relocated to anywhere in Australia on her own bottom with a possibility that she could sail to New Zealand.
