Watson 72 Expedition Vessel "Big Bud" 140 tonne

The world is your oyster with this 72' Expedition Vessel, a true heavy displacement trawler capable of travelling safely as far as you want to go and as comfortably as possible by virtue of the exceptional design along the lines of Baltic trawlers. Built by Pacific Motor yachts Ltd NZ, Big Bud was built to Bureau Veritas (BV) class and has been maintained to an exceptional standard, with two major refits in 2005 and 2021. With a range of approximately 8,000 miles, her massive 44,200L fuel tanks allow ultimate freedom of travel.
With four exceptional cabins accommodating 8 passengers, it's the details that must be seen on this vessel, including a full beam luxurious master and study complete with stained glass and stunning teak and burwood detailing, and teak and grooved panel ceilings throughout. Offering extensive indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, the flybridge provides the 2nd helm station and bimini cover, and the enclosed wheelhouse is large and well laid out with good all round visibility. The spacious galley is equipped with high end Miele appliances, and offers easy flow and connection through to the saloon.

Powered by a single Cummins N14M 360hp engine plus a Cummins 6BT wing engine for redundancy, and Furuno electronics, she is a proven offshore vessel that has cruised extensively on the eastern seaboard of Australia and the Pacific islands - the engine room for this beauty is a must-see.

Be the second owner of this fabulous robust offshore vessel, and be ready to be wrapped around with comfort and attention to detail, ring the listing broker to come on board to view.
