Bruce Roberts is renowned for designing vessels that combine capability, comfort, and impressive interior volume, and his Waverider series of flybridge cruisers exemplifies this perfectly. These stable and versatile boats have been used for everything from serious offshore fishing and family cruising to comfortable liveaboard lifestyles. "Free Spirit" is a fine example of this design, built in fibreglass with a quality Airex foam core for a hull that is both light and strong. Having been enjoyed as the ultimate on-water apartment by the current owner, it is exceptionally well set up for the next owner to do the same, with the added advantage of the current berth being available for liveaboard use. With low hours on the engines and a history of regular maintenance, "Free Spirit" is equally suited to relaxing in your favourite anchorage or cruising in comfort with family and friends. Offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a vessel of this size, style, and livability at this price point, it represents exceptional value.
Stepping inside, the panoramic visibility, traditional timber trims, and fresh white finishes create a bright and welcoming ambience. To port is a generous settee, with ample storage opposite. Forward is the helm station, providing excellent visibility and fully equipped with a Lowrance chart plotter, Icom VHF radio, and full engine controls and instrumentation. A couple of easy steps down lead to the spacious saloon, with comfortable seating for six. To starboard is the well-appointed galley, featuring a 4-burner gas stove with grill, Panasonic microwave, large upright fridge, stainless steel sink with H/C pressurised water, and plenty of storage. Accommodation is ideal for liveaboard or family stays, with the port settee providing a single berth and the V-berth configured as two singles (currently used for storage). The package is complete with a 2024 composting toilet, compliant with liveaboard holding tank requirements.
Outside, the cockpit is a great space to relax in a deck chair or cast a line in your favourite fishing spot. Easy access leads up to the flybridge, which, while the helm controls have been disconnected, remains a superb vantage point to enjoy the views. Wide side decks provide safe access forward to the bow, where a Muir electric anchor winch controls the Bruce anchor with new 2023 10mm anchor chain.
This vessel is powered by twin Ford Lees 6-cylinder 75HP diesel engines with only 1,170 hours, providing easy and economical cruising at 7 knots.
With its charm, liveaboard comfort, and capable design, "Free Spirit" is a vessel not to be missed. For more information please call Jo Breen on or Jack Allison on .
