Bruce Roberts 55' Pilothouse Ketch JUST LISTED
$149,950
At 55 feet in length, Renee offers the sort of space and versatility that is becoming increasingly difficult to find at an accessible price point. Built to the proven Roberts Pilothouse Ketch design and constructed in steel, she provides generous accommodation, expansive living areas and the comfort of a true cruising home. With berthing for six or more, she would suit a family seeking an affordable liveaboard lifestyle, a couple planning extended coastal cruising, or adventurers ready to turn long-held sailing dreams into reality.
Her pilothouse configuration provides excellent visibility and protection from the weather, while the substantial dimensions and displacement deliver the presence and practicality expected of a serious cruising yacht. Whether you're exploring Tasmania's coastline, heading north for the winter or setting your sights on a lap of Australia, Renee offers the volume, storage and capability required for extended time aboard. She is a vessel that encourages owners to slow down, settle in and enjoy the journey rather than simply the destination.
For those chasing a comfortable waterfront lifestyle, planning a family cruising adventure or simply looking for a solid platform to explore Australia's coastline and beyond, Renee presents a compelling opportunity. Inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the scale and potential on offer.
Contact Paul Nanscawen on 0418385866 or Matt 0437 876 775 today for further details or to arrange an inspection.
