Back on the Market!

The sale may have fallen through, but your chance to own the stunning Aqua Vida Catamaran is back and better than ever! This luxurious Australian-registered vessel is in "get on and leave" condition--nothing needs to be done except fueling up and stocking the pantry. It is for sale by the owner, and there are no brokerage fees.

She is fully equipped for live-aboard cruising (we use her every other weekend and for longer trips when time allows).
Pristine condition, and she has extensive recent upgrades (all receipts will be provided).

Remarks
Boat is in excellent condition, ready to step aboard and leave. We have upgraded the yacht (approximately $100k) over the past two years, and she presents in outstanding condition for her age.
The boat has a brand new Panda 5kVA Generator, which links to the newly installed LiPO battery and solar system, allowing for complete off-grid sustainability.

She will be out of the water from 17 - 22 October at the Boatworks, Coomera, for annual maintenance--an ideal opportunity to inspect her.
