Carter 72 Custom Flybridge Cruiser - Live-aboard passagemaker - Berth available

'White Mischief' was bought by her current owners in 2023 as an interim vessel for local cruising between the Abrolhos Islands and Geographe Bay. Their new vessel has now arrived, so she is on the market and ready for her next owners to enjoy.

What first attracted them was the open-plan living and the number of entertaining spaces. Hydraulic bow and stern thrusters sealed the deal, making a big boat easy to handle.

Built in New Zealand by Carter Yachts, 'White Mischief' is a solid vessel designed for charter and long-range cruising. More recently, her previous owner is understood to have lived aboard while exploring the Kimberley and other parts of Australia's north coast.

She has the numbers to back that up:
Twin Iveco engines of about 700 hp each
Cruises at 10 knots, with 17 knots on tap
About 7,000 L of fuel and 3,000 L of water
Stella Marine desalinator
Shallow 1.4 m draft, so she can reach anchorages many vessels her size can't

The current owners are experienced boaties, and they have spent considerable money making her more reliable and easier to use. That money has gone in where it counts, and her next owners get the benefit.

Her layout is all about practical long-range cruising. She has an enclosed wheelhouse, a yacht-fisher-style cockpit and two tender davit systems. It's easy to picture yourself aboard, cruising Ningaloo, the Kimberley or beyond in comfort.

There are two well-equipped helm stations:

Flybridge: a wheelhouse so large it could almost be another cabin, with three new Raymarine multifunction displays.
Lower helm: full beam, with duplicate screens. Electronic throttle controls run to both port and starboard positions. Sliding doors on each side give ventilation and, more importantly, direct access to the side decks for visibility and easy berthing.

The main saloon is bright and spacious. The galley sits forward to port and includes a Miele electric oven, a four-hob electric cooktop, a Samsung microwave, a dishwasher and a Breville coffee machine. It's a very social layout, where everyone gathers once the sun goes down to share stories of the day's adventures.

Steps lead down from the saloon to a storage room and full laundry, with a 7 kg washer and a dryer. From there you go straight into a very large engine room, the heart of the vessel.

The raised lower wheelhouse sits between the saloon and the accommodation and gives excellent forward visibility. A few steps down, three cabins sleep six:

Master (port): king bed and private ensuite
Guest (starboard): king bed, with direct access to the shared bathroom/day head
Forward cabin: tournament-style single bunks and a wash basin

Look past the cosmetics and you'll find 'White Mischief' has good bones, with the money already spent where it matters most.

She is berthed in Fremantle and available to view now. Berth available.
