Regretful Sale - Well-Maintained Liveaboard with Extensive Upgrades
A genuinely regretful sale of **Oema**, our much-loved family home for the past two years.
Our family of four has lived aboard Oema for the last two years with plans to cruise and surf through Indonesia. Unfortunately, those plans have been postponed due to family commitments. She is now ready for her next adventure, and we would love to see her go to someone who will make the most of her.
During our time aboard, we have invested heavily in maintenance, upgrades and improvements, with a strong focus on reliability, safety and making her a comfortable liveaboard and cruising boat.
Recent Upgrades & Improvements
* Full bottom refurbishment
* New TruDesign skin fittings and seacocks
* New tri-ducer
* Refurbished rudder stock
* Refurbished propeller shaft
* New Cutlass bearing
* New PSS shaft seal service kit
* Antifouling completed **November 2025**
* New chain plates
* New solar panels
* 400Ah lithium battery bank
* New Victron solar regulators
* Victron DC-DC chargers
* New external GPS
* New AIS
* New fuel filter and fuel lines
* 240V 80L/day watermaker - currently pickled and ready to recommission
* Starlink ready
* Hot water system
* New cockpit clears
* 1800w Inverter
* Plus plenty of other smaller upgrades and improvements completed during our ownership
Oema has been our home, not simply a boat that has been sitting in a marina, so she has been regularly used, maintained and improved throughout our ownership.
The intention was always to prepare her for extended cruising, and a significant amount of work has already been completed to make her ready for that lifestyle.
**A genuine regretful sale. ** We had hoped to continue our cruising plans, but family circumstances have changed. Oema is a capable, well-equipped liveaboard and cruising boat with a long list of recent upgrades, and she is ready for her next chapter.
