At 22.9m the Miss-Deb-a-Del is a well proven multi-purpose fishing vessel well suited to high value fishing operations. The vessel was purchased from the West Australian Spanish Mackerel Fishery by the current owner and has successfully operated in the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery and the NSW / Commonwealth Dropline fisheries on the eastern seaboard for the past 8 years.
The vessel runs 2 x Cummins QSM 11’s at an efficient 30 to 40L per hour (including the genset) and has De-Salination and freshwater ice making capacity of 1 Tonne per day. There is a 2 Tonne Bait Freezer, approximately 9 tonne hold capacity in the deck tanks and 6 tonne capacity in a refrigerated fish room below deck. The vessel is set-up for producing high-quality product over extended trips.
The Vessel is in AMSA 3B survey with a crew of 8. The wheelhouse and accommodation on Miss Deb-a-Del is a step away from the norm in terms of quality and comfort at-sea. The vessel is worth inspecting to view the features and layout of the wheelhouse and accommodation alone.
The sale of the Miss Deb-a-Del covers a lot of bases and the vessel is a turn-key operation in the ETBF or would make an excellent mothership for long-range charter or line fishing operations with minimal alteration required.
