SABRE 17.5M FLYBRIDGE CRUISER WITH ONLY 350 HOURS  

Meticulously constructed by the owner of Sabre Catamarans International for his own retirement, this stunning 17.5m monohull flybridge cruiser is a work of art above and below decks. Designed for extended fast cruising, "Defiance" was constructed to 2B survey with the luxury charter market in mind and has plenty of accommodation with four double beds and four large single bunks in three spacious cabins along with a galley of domestic proportions and two separate toilet compartments and combined shower cubicle. The fully enclosed Fly Bridge is ideal for the long haul in any conditions and can also double as crew accommodation if a commercial application is applied in the future. Under her current and original ownership, it has been utilised as a fast island hopper with its twin 825Hp MTU/Detriot 60 series common rail diesels coupled to five blade Mikado propellers protected by a full length keel for remote coastal exploration. With only 350 hours of running time, the large engine compartment is spotless with all components of a commercial grade and systems designed to be maintained on the move. Onboard systems including airconditioning throughout, are powered by an 11Kva ONAN generator and all additional features such as the stainless steel deck crane, electronics, desalinator and dual anchors are all, once again, of commercial standards for durability and reliability. This vessel represents excellent value with replacement cost in the multi-million dollar range and has been maintained to a very high standard including a complete cooling system overhaul in 2024 along with the hull being Soda Blasted below the water line and a fresh application of primer and anti-foul applied. The appeal of this vessel is the sturdy construction standard from a renowned commercial ferry manufacture coupled with the ability to charge through any conditions at 21 knots and sprint to 30 knots should the moment take you. Highly recommended and a tour through its impressive infrastructure will not disappoint. (Suite Salthouse, Conquest, Westcoaster, Riviera and Caribbean buyers).
