Crowther Buccaneer 36 Just Listed

"Shanghaied" is a 1998 Crowther Buccaneer 36 -- a fast, strong, and practical offshore-capable trimaran designed by the legendary Lock Crowther. Crowther trimarans are renowned for their performance, load-carrying ability, and safety at sea.
She has spent the last several seasons exploring from Darwin through the Indonesian archipelago and has proven herself as an incredibly capable liveaboard and adventure platform -- from surf missions and fishing offshore to relaxed family cruising.
The Buccaneer layout provides excellent usable interior space, large secure cockpit, and a clean functional deck layout ideal for both passagemaking and tropical cruising.
Recent Refit & Upgrades (2024)

- Outboard seating arrangement maximizing deck and cockpit space

Set up for remote travel -- she has everything needed to fish, surf, explore, and live fully off-grid.
Use & Comfort
Over the last year she has hosted multiple friends and family, often 7-8 adults onboard for multiday trips -- something few trimarans in this size range can realistically claim.
The layout provides:
Spacious covered cockpit
Functional galley
Comfortable berths
Good storage for boards, dive gear, and toys
She has served as a reliable, adventurous cruising platform and is ready for more.

Those who know Crowther boats will understand the pedigree -- strong, fast, beautifully balanced, and built for ocean miles.
She sails exceptionally well, even loaded, and offers the kind of efficiency, comfort, and speed that modern production multis struggle to match without the complexity or price tag.
Why Selling
Our plans for 2026 and beyond have changed and we'd prefer she goes to someone ready to continue the voyage.

Shanghaied is perfect for:
Someone wanting to begin cruising SE Asia or Australia immediately
A liveaboard wanting low running costs and great performance
A surf/spear/fishing explorer
Someone who appreciates the Crowther legacy
A buyer wanting a capable offshore multihull without the price of a modern catamaran/ Trimaran
