Pre-Purchase Inspection

Description: Roberts 434

This Roberts 434 Deck Saloon has been very well built and maintained by the original owner. They have cruised her extensively both here in Australia and out into the Indian Ocean and Asia Pacific seas. She was built and professionally fitted out in SE QLD for the owners to their specifications. Having lived aboard and sailed many miles over the years, they report she is a very strong yacht with a sea kindly motion. All systems have seen regular maintenance and upgrades over the years. The yacht has also just had her regular anti-foul and is back in the water as of the 11-10-2024.
Large cabins throughout including owners double with ensuite, forward double and separate ensuite for guests or crew.
The second internal helm is a real bonus when the weather turns.
If you have been looking for a well found, strong, steel cruising yacht, we would recommend an inspection.

Accommodation

Entering the yacht through the companionway, you are greeted by a large saloon and helm space. The saloon table is to port and surrounded by comfortable U shaped seating. Room for guests here and easy access from the internal helm station to starboard. The helm is a piece of art with the stainless steel and timber wheel and large helm chair. Great vision to port and starboard and importantly, forward. The AC/DC panel and most electronics are to starboard and aft of the internal helm. Stepping forward and down past the galley (with loads of storage and bench space) you find the guest ensuite to starboard. Her we see the stand alone shower compartment, vanity and storage.
Forward again and the large Pullman style berth opens up. Plenty of lockers and storage below along with a deck hatch for natural lighting and to allow plenty of air movement throughout the yacht.
Back through into the saloon and aft to starboard you enter the rear owners cabin through what can double as a single berth or large storage space. Once in the owners cabin you have a very large berth on centerline and storage aplenty. Forward to port is the owners private ensuite. Throughout the yacht you notice the profession build and care that has been taken fitting her out. Quality timbers have been used for both cabin soles and wall panelling as well as wear sections. Easy access down into the large engine bay is via the saloon floor. There are quality fans throughout the yacht and with the pilothouse windows bringing in vast amounts of light, once the curtains are drawn back, you do have a very light and airy boat.

Remarks

Here we have a well built cruising yacht suitable for southern latitudes or up into the tropics where she will be well known. The sellers had her built for a purpose and they have accomplished all they envisaged during their ownership, including sailing out into the Western Indian Ocean a number of times from SE Asia. Back to land based activities now and they would like to give the next owners the opportunity to head of to some of the more remote anchorages the world has to offer. Located in our marina for ease of inspection.
Please feel free to contact listing broker Rob Devers on Mob: or Email: for further information or to arrange an inspection.
