All you need in a Liveaboard Cruising Catamaran for under 200k. Hurry this won't last at this price!!

After over a year cruising the east coast between Sydney and Lizard Island it is time for us to offer this affordable live-aboard Catamaran to the new lucky owners.

This Inspiration, launched in 1998, is one of only a few boats built having a different layout than earlier models. It has been predominately built out of foam sandwhich, both hulls and decks. This production boat was built to full survey by the original owners. In 2019 it was upgraded by the previous owners. Sugar scoops have been professionally lengthened to add swim steps.
