Seahorse Oceaneer 55 Just Listed

.
Nordhavn-Style Steel Expedition Motor Yacht | 3,700NM Range | Rare Brisbane CBD Liveaboard Opportunity

Rarely does a true steel expedition cruiser of this size and capability come to market offering both serious offshore cruising ability and exceptional liveaboard comfort. Currently operating as a full-time liveaboard and berthed in a Brisbane CBD marina, this 2004 Seahorse Oceaneer 55 Motor Yacht presents a unique opportunity to combine the freedom of long-range cruising with the lifestyle of waterfront living in the heart of the city. The existing berth may be available for the new owner (subject to marina approval), a rare advantage in a marina market where liveaboard opportunities are increasingly limited.
Inspired by the design philosophy of respected expedition yachts such as Nordhavn, the Oceaneer series is known for delivering genuine long-range passagemaking capability with robust construction and practical layouts designed for extended cruising without the price tag, thanks to efficient Chinese production. Built with a full steel hull, the vessel offers exceptional strength, durability and confidence for offshore passages while remaining comfortable and spacious for life aboard.
At 55 feet, the Oceaneer offers the interior volume and presence of a significantly larger vessel thanks to her generous beam and intelligent layout. Multiple living spaces, a full-beam galley and private accommodation areas create an environment that works equally well for entertaining guests, extended coastal cruising or full-time liveaboard living.

o Surveyed in September 2025 - Including engineers report, ultrasonic hull report and oil testing
o Slipped in December 2025 - Major servicing of engines
o Slipped in February 2026 - Sandblasting of hull and fresh antifoul
o 55ft steel expedition cruiser with serious bluewater capability
o Nordhavn-style expedition design philosophy without the premium price tag
o Chinese-built steel construction delivering excellent value
o 10,000L fuel tanks providing approx. 3,700NM cruising range at 8 knots
o Feels and presents like a much larger vessel thanks to clever layout
o Domestic spilt system air-conditioning units throughout providing year-around comfort
o Multiple living areas ideal for entertaining or extended cruising
o Full beam galley with excellent storage and practicality
o Aft Owner's Suite with private ensuite and bath

o Under 1,600 hours on both engines
o 9.4kW generator powering the entire vessel when cruising
o Shore power operation while in the marina
o Davit Crane and 4.2M centre console RIB tender with Raymarine chartplotter, VHF radio and bilge pump
o Currently berthed in a Brisbane CBD marina where she can stay as a liveaboard (subject to marina management approval)
o A truly ideal platform for long-range cruising, liveaboard lifestyle or Great Barrier Reef exploration

Power comes from very reliable and economical twin John Deere diesel engines, both with under 1,600 hours, providing dependable performance and efficient cruising. Designed with serious cruising in mind, the vessel offers an impressive range of approximately 3,700 nautical miles at an economical cruising speed of 8 knots, making her well suited to long-distance passagemaking.
