Calypso – 52ft Custom Flybridge Motor Cruiser | 1983 |
Sydney Harbour Icon
A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Sydney Harbour history. Calypso is a custom-built 52-foot flybridge motor cruiser (approx. 15.8m) constructed in 1983 specifically for commercial charter operations — and she's ready for her next chapter.
The Vessel
Built to a standard that production boats simply don't match, Calypso was engineered from the outset for high-capacity, high-frequency use on Sydney Harbour. Her layout spans three distinct entertainment levels: an expansive open foredeck perfect for guests to take in the surroundings, a weather-protected main saloon configured for bar and dining service, and a wide flybridge deck topped with a custom canvas bimini. She comfortably accommodates 35–38 guests in cocktail configuration across those levels.
Where She Stands Today
Calypso was taken out of service approximately three years ago to undergo a full refurbishment. Significant structural and mechanical work has already been completed. The engines are in running order. The interior has been stripped and is ready for a new fit-out — giving the incoming owner full creative control over the finish and configuration.
The Opportunity
This is not simply a boat purchase. Calypso comes with the potential to re-enter commercial survey once refurbishment is complete, along with a transferrable liquor licence — an asset that alone carries significant value in the Sydney charter market. For the right buyer, this represents a genuine path back into a proven, in-demand charter niche on one of the world's most iconic waterways.
Serious enquiries only. Offered as-is, with scope to negotiate on inclusions.
