Buehler Trimaran for sale in Langkawi, with SYS Yacht Sales.

Seaspray Yacht sales is proud to present: Sunbird III; A Truly Special 1989 Custom Buehler Trimaran. Ready to go.

This isn't just a boat listing; it's a recommendation for a one-of-a-kind, hand-built Buehler trimaran that's been a beloved and capable expedition base. She's done the big trips--a full lap around Australia and extensive exploration in Southeast Asia--and she's set up as a proper, self-sufficient liveaboard.

The best part about a trimaran like this? The sublime stability at anchor and the incredibly shallow 1-meter draft that opens up anchorages most boats have to skip. The deck space feels more like a patio.

Her current owners have poured their love into making her independent and comfortable:

Power & Water Sorted: A robust 1.6KW solar array runs everything through a large lithium battery bank. Need water? The custom watermaker keeps the tanks full.

Comfortable Liveaboard: It's a proper home with two cabins (sleeps four), a full U-shaped galley with a standing fridge/freezer, and even a washing machine. They've also got Starlink setup for connectivity.

Seriously Equipped: She comes with everything for serious cruising: high-quality ground tackle, recent stainless rigging (2019), a dinghy ready to deploy, and a full sail inventory. The Yanmar engine has recently finished a professional rebuild, which is a huge plus for the next owner.

The honest details:

Design/Builder: Custom Buehler design / built by Ian Manson (1989)

Location: Rebak Island Marina, Langkawi, Malaysia

Size: 43ft long, with that iconic, roomy 25.5ft trimaran beam.

Key Updates: Rigging replaced in 2019, large lithium banks installed 2-3 years ago, engine rebuild recently complete. She's a vessel ready for final commissioning and your personal touch.

Sunbird III is a rare find--a legitimate, ocean-tested cruiser without the "project boat" anxiety. She's ideal for a couple or a small family who values strength, space, and smart systems over shiny, unnecessary glamour.

I have the full documentation, a detailed spec list, and plenty of photos. If a unique, capable, and honest cruising home speaks to you, let's chat.

She's lying at Rebak Island Marina & Resort, Langkawi, and is ready for your inspection.
