This Vessel and Licence package is FOR SALE as a “going-concern” or separate sale at a total package price of $295,000 (+GST) or $200,000 (+GST) for the Licence and $95,000 (+GST) for the Vessel.
The 10.3m Skipper Craft (built by Clayton Marine) presents in very good condition and is very well suited to Marine Scale or Charter operations. Currently set-up for operating a 100 Pot Sand Crab Licence the vessel has a 2 tonne insulated hold on the deck and the aft deck area is maximised with space for fishing passengers (Charter) or to carry additional fish bins for commercial fishing applications.
The Vessel moves through the water very well with a cruising speed of 20 to 22 Knots and a top-speed of 30 Knots. The vessel has an AMSA 3C & 2C Survey (next out-of-water survey due in May 2030). The sale of FV Shorely Knot represents excellent value.
