“We’d love a boat for the two of us to cruise Australia, spend months at anchor and eventually explore Southeast Asia…”
Your conversation will help build a search around you — not around what a broker wants to sell.A boat search that starts with you.
We want a boat for two people to cruise Australia and eventually Southeast Asia. Budget about A$600,000.
Great. Are you imagining mostly coastal cruising and anchoring, or serious offshore passages as well?
Mostly anchoring and exploring. But it needs to get us safely between cruising areas. My partner also hates sitting in full sun.
Got it. I’ll prioritise good shade, comfortable outdoor living and capable passagemaking. What else is non-negotiable?
Stabilizers, a separate pilothouse and a proper tender.
Perfect. I’ll treat those as must-haves, search for suitable boats and explain why each one does — or doesn’t — belong on your shortlist.
Your dream. Your search. Your decision.
