Wooden Ships Comments on this 58′ Motor Yacht

Built as a private yacht in 1968 on the lines of a traditional fishing boat, commissioned by Frederick Parks of Baston Deepsea Fisheries.  The hull and decks were built by the BIM Shipyard in Killybeg, County Donegap, she was then fitted out in Malahide with various cabins as seen today.

She has spent the last 20+ years working as a commercial dive charter vessel, offering residential diving holidays with comfortable accommodation with the ability to reach more inaccessible areas of coast and sea that smaller day boats access.

Although her commercial ticket has lapsed, she was coded to Category 2 for 10 passenegrs + 2 crew.  The fundamentals of this are still in place and her licence could be reinstated relatively easily if a new owner so wished. This would require some new life saving equipment and updated engine room fire system.  The fact she has been coded for the last 20 years means she has been regularly surveyed and kept up in good condition as required by the MCA.

With a total of 13 berths in 4 cabins, 3 heads compartments, large galley and comfortable deck saloon, she is an ideal platform for a commercial boat or a private expedition yacht for extended cruising in remote places.  Twin Volvo Penta diesels give reliable and economic propulsion, with 240v power from inverters or the 18kva generator.

A fine big motor yacht in seemingly good structural condition with the potential to fulfil a multitude of roles in the future
