Seaquest 15m Charter Boat + 2 Tenders Just Listed

"King Tide" is a 15.5 metre Dennis Walsh-designed aluminium monohull presented in full AMSA 1B survey and equipped for extended offshore charter operations. Built by Seaquest and extensively refitted by the current owner for tourism, the vessel offers reliable long-range capability and a practical layout suited to fishing safaris, eco tourism, dive operations, research charters, and remote expedition work.

With strong operational history in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, King Tide has demonstrated consistent performance, passenger comfort, and offshore reliability in marine tourism.

Powered by a 1000hp MTU 12V183 main engine, King Tide cruises efficiently at 13 knots and sprints to 21kts, with fuel capacity exceeding 7000 litres, providing significant operational range for remote itineraries. A 20kVA Isuzu/Zenith genset, desalination system (up to 180 L/hr), comprehensive Raymarine navigation and bridge package, TMQ autopilot and Starlink connectivity further support safe and reliable commercial operations.

The vessel's accommodation is arranged across three separate sleeping areas with a mix of double and single berths, all with air conditioning and privacy curtaining. The galley and saloon are configured for charter efficiency, while the upper deck provides shaded alfresco space with BBQ facilities, refrigeration and seating suitable for passenger dining or operational briefings. A drop down fishing/dive platform improves water access and overall deck design supports both passenger comfort and crew functionality.

AMSA Survey Certification:
o 1B - 12 berthed passengers + 2 crew
o 1C - 23 passengers + 2 crew
o 1E - 44 passengers + 2 crew

King Tide underwent a significant refit by the current owner in 2008 and maintains a strong operational track record across remote coastal programs including Buccaneer and Bonaparte Archipelagos and offshore diving operations.

The vessel is offered as is, where is, with the owner motivated for a timely sale. Minor maintenance works are required to return King Tide to full operational capacity; these have been factored into the asking price. The Vendor is prepared to work collaboratively with the buyer to support the completion of these works. Independent valuations are avilable on request and confirm the vessel is priced competitively with clear intent to sell.
