A spacious, safe, blue water sailing catamaran in outstanding condition, exceptionally well set up for immediate long-range cruising enjoyment.
OCEANEER is a fully set up, genuinely cruised, expedition boat, that is ready to get you on the water now! She had an extensive refit in 2020 with high quality components, has been constantly maintained and upgraded, and has cruised for extended periods in very remote locations. OCEANEER'S huge amount of solar, battery capacity, services and storage means there is no need to be without creature comforts when onboard. With one of the largest "galley up" configurations available in a vessel of this size, washing machine, separate dryer, water heater and watermaker you can have all the comforts of home while cruising or entertaining. The extensive dry goods and cold storage space has allowed the current owners, a family of four, to provision for over two months of extended remote cruising at a time.
Voyage Yachts, often referred to as a 'sailor's boat', are renowned for striking the right balance of sailing performance, high headroom, and liveability. OCEANEER is a pleasure to sail, and will perform in both light and heavier winds with the current sail inventory. Sail handling is simple and safe for a short handed crew, with all the working lines taken back to the cockpit winches/clutches, and easy access to the boom.
OCEANEER has spent the past two years cruising the Queensland coast and has recently returned from remote West Papua, Indonesia (Read a travel blog at https://forecast. Predictwind. Com/tracking/display/SV_Oceaneer/ ). She has just been hauled out, routine maintenance performed, and is on the hardstand at the Gold Coast ready for a new adventure! OCEANEER is available to view by appointment.

Electronics / Navigation
ALL ELECTRONICS NEW 2020 (except Vesper AIS)
- Chartplotter - B&G Zeus 3 16' - Able to accept custom AT5 high resolution satilite image files and use them for navigation. This is a valuable feature in locations where the navigation charts are lacking or nonexistent, including remote Australia.

- B&G Triton² displays x 2
- B&G Triton² Autopilot NAC-3
- B&G Pilot Controller keypad
- WR10 Wireless Remote
