Overview

Sunseeker 62 is a turn-key, commercially surveyed charter vessel with a five-year track record of strong returns and an impeccable reputation among Sydney charter agents and clients.

At 17.97 m, she occupies a sweet spot in the market: large enough to host 33 guests in genuine luxury, yet compact enough to deliver materially lower berthing, crewing and operating costs than the 23 m vessels she competes against on charter day.

Survey, antifoul, the new AMSA Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate and the transferable NSW Liquor Licence are all in place — meaning the next owner steps straight into a fully compliant, revenue-producing operation.

Commercial Opportunity

Sunseeker 62 sits in a category of her own. Her size, capacity and price point allow the owner to be selective about clientele — for example, the current operating policy declines all-male charters — while still capturing strong, repeat demand from Sydney's premium charter market.

Revenue: The Liquor Licence Advantage

The fully transferable liquor licence is one of the vessel's most valuable commercial assets. Average bar spend runs at approximately $100 per person per charter.

Worked example: a 20-pax, 4-hour charter generates roughly $2,000 in additional bar revenue on top of the standard vessel hire (typically $3,500–$4,500 for a 4-hour booking, excluding food and drinks). In practice, the liquor licence lifts top-line revenue by approximately 50%.

Catering: Built-in Upside for an Owner-Operator

Catering is currently handled through a third-party provider operating on a 30% margin. When the current owners first acquired Sunseeker, they ran catering in-house and saw materially higher profit margins. An owner-operator willing to bring catering back onboard has a clear, immediate path to lifting profitability without changing the underlying business.

Operational Cost Advantage

At 18 m, Sunseeker captures berthing, wharf and crewing economics that larger competing vessels simply cannot:

Berthing: approx. $3,000/month, versus approx. $6,000/month for a 23 m vessel

Crewing: only 2 crew required to operate

Commercial wharf bookings: lower fees across the board

Reduced fuel burn at cruise

Forward Bookings & Season

The majority of charters fall between November and February. Forward bookings will be apportioned based on the date of purchase, giving the buyer immediate revenue from day one of ownership during the peak summer season.

Reputation

Five years of owner-operated charters have built an impeccable reputation with Sydney's leading charter agents and a loyal repeat-client base. That goodwill transfers with the vessel and will continue to deliver returns for years to come.
