Departing Cairns in October 2021, Moscato explored the coast down to the Whitsundays but unfortunately due to a relationship breakdown, dreams of an Australian circumnavigation and international travel were not fulfilled. Moscato returned to Cairns and has been a liveaboard home in Yorkeys Knob since that time, with the odd trip out to the local islands but is ready to find her new owner to take on new adventures.

The photos in this listing are from February 2022. Moscato is currently undergoing maintenance to bring her back to the condition in the photos, addressing a few years of weathering, resealing windows, completing a bathroom renovation, water tank reconditioning and fresh antifoul ready for her next adventure.

Moscato will be ready for out of water inspection on 30th October. This presents an ideal opportunity for a buyer to have an out of water survey completed whilst already hauled out.
