About Valetta
Made for Moreton Bay. At home in the Australian internal waterways environment with destinations to explore such as reefs, islands, estuaries and rivers. This 14.5m (47.6 ft) powered catamaran is ready for the new owners to explore. With a shallow draft of only 0.8m (2.6ft), a spacious beam of 4.9m (16ft), and a displacement of 8tons. She is a stable, low draft vessel powered with twin economical and proven, 25hp Hi-Thrust Yamaha 4-stroke outboard motors with low fuel consumption. Easy to maneuver, and a perfect size for marina berths, without the hefty cost penalties of larger craft.
With 52sqm of living space and 44sqm of outdoor space, the vessel is a marvel of spacious modern house boat design. The strong fiberglass hulls and decks with full-length keels protect the running gear, and allow you to beach her and maintain an upright stable platform. Easy Access hatches for internal hull inspections.
The Ultimate Houseboat, is an excellent family boat for fishing, diving, surfing and all manner of water sports, or simply just exploring. A true live-a-board, rent out your home, live in comfort, or set-up as an office, so many options, compared to other boat types, such as mono hulls, due to the stability, low draft and extensive living space of this fine vessel.
As new, after a 2022 $190,000 refit. Impeccably maintained, by the boat builder owner. Built professionally. Over the last year the vessel has had the refurbishment of all major structural components, styling and new internal equipment. All carried out by the owner professional boat builder and his team, and at great expense. Recently inspected by an independent marine surveyor for her insurance survey. (12/12/2022 survey) Available upon request.
