Flying Turtle is the perfect first-owner's houseboat, beautifully presented and well maintained, offering a comfortable and highly manageable size, with a warm cottage-style charm full of character. The triple pontoon design delivers excellent stability and freeboard, making it ideal for relaxed cruising and extended stays on the water.

Stepping aboard, you are immediately welcomed by the as-new hardwood timber decking, solid safety gating, and spacious shaded fore and aft entertaining decks. Convenient forward starboard sponson deck wastewater points add practicality, while the inviting outdoor spaces set the tone for enjoyable river living.

Inside, the open-plan deckhouse is bright, functional, and welcoming. The starboard helm is equipped with Honda and VDO instrumentation, a Lowrance depth finder, and a Teleflex steering system. Opposite, the well-appointed portside galley kitchen includes an Artusi cooktop, De'Longhi coffee machine, toaster oven, and a new Haier 433L fridge/freezer, complemented by generous bench and cupboard space along with a neat dining extension. A comfortable sofa bed and lounge area provides additional accommodation for guests when required.

Accommodation comprises two bedrooms and a starboard stern bathroom. The main bedroom features a double bed, while the second bedroom offers bunk accommodation, both with built-in cupboards. The bathroom includes a tiled shower, vanity, shave cabinet, and macerating flush toilet.

The stern deck houses the vessel's impressive 240V off-grid power system, fitted in 2022 with modern MPS Mictronix technology. Features include a Victron Multi Plus 3000 inverter, Lithium 48V 5.1KWH high-power LTP battery module, Victron MPPT150 smart solar controller, and six 400W solar panels, providing reliable and efficient "Off-Grid" living capability. A perfectly positioned timber entertaining bar completes the space, allowing uninterrupted river views while relaxing with family and friends.

Additional key features include Bosch Hydro Power 10H instant gas hot water, Rinnai Cozyglow gas heating, Hella refrigerated air conditioning, Weber BBQ kettle, Jumbuck four-burner BBQ, campfire keg, 640L waste storage, 320L grey water storage, EPA Storm plastic grey water filter system, plus a lawn mower and water pump for maintaining a beach lawned area.

Propulsion is provided by a 2004 Honda 40HP four-stroke outboard motor with only 645 hours of use, fully serviced in February 2025. The 200L under-chassis fuel tank provides a comfortable cruising range for extended river adventures.

Flying Turtle was last inspected out of water on 14/01/2025 at the Mannum Slipway, where it passed insurance risk assessment and received all required pontoon maintenance. The vessel is fully compliant with electrical, gas, and EPA wastewater requirements, offering peace of mind for its next owner.
