Broker's Remarks
Awesome I is the first of eight power catamarans, originally designed as a stable platform to cruise from New Zealand to Tahiti without fuel stops. Therefore she has the ability to cover great distances efficiently and at comfortable speeds. At an economic cruise speed of 20 knots, she can cover close to 500 miles in a day. Excellent sight lines give her ease of docking and maneuvering in very tight quarters thanks to 360 degree unobstructed visibility from the bridge deck. The current owner frequently travels without additional crew.
Modern Divinycell-cored hulls offer light, stable construction and Kevlar sheathing lends strength and soundness to her design. Never having been chartered, this vessel has had licensed full time captains since she was launched that have maintained her in pristine cosmetic and mechanical conditions. Used primarily for diving and entertaining guests, she has served her owners reliably from the Great Lakes to the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Florida Keys. A truly exceptional, sea-friendly vessel with the versatility to make distant coves a place you can call home.
Boarding Awesome I from either side of her cockpit, there is inviting seating for 8 to 10 adults facing aft toward the main swim platforms with courtesy lighting and sun tarp. Owner and guest alike will appreciate such cockpit features as a walk-in storage room and storage, wet locker, washer-dryer unit, fishing pole holders, bait well, fish cleaning station with stainless steel sink, and large port and starboard deck lockers. A 14.4 cubic ft. Sub Zero top-loading refrigerator with removable segmented storage for beverages eliminates galley congestion. Electricity, phone, and cable outlets, exterior stereo speakers and showers are installed aft on each side of the vessel.
The current owner of AWESOME I has just completed a 2-year refit and mechanical upgrade program.
