1999 Custom Austral Yachts Wavepiercer | 81ft

Rarely does such a unique yacht like this Wavepiercer, Spirit, become available for sale, and at this price. If you are looking for a safe open water Cruising Motor Yacht, look no further.

This yacht designed by Craig Loomes, built in New Zealand by Austral Yachts, boasts a powerful superstructure, and a 26' beam. 

Distinctive in its appearance, Spirit has two wave-piercing hulls which reduces buoyancy in the forward portions. When a wave is encountered, the lack of buoyancy means the hulls pierce through the water rather than riding over the top, resulting in a smoother ride, and diminishing the fuel consumption and the mechanical stress on the vessel, while also reducing the yacht’s wave-making resistance. 

This 82' Wavepiercer offers exceptional handling, economical performance, and is a true open water cruiser. 

Since its conception in 1999, Spirit has cruised the Australian Great Barrier Reef, the Pacific and Indian Ocean, to Med. Spent some time on the French Riviera, crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean, and Florida, in 2007, where it was repowered, before crossing the Panama Canal. After spending a few years in Panama and Costa Rica, she was shipped to Dubai in 2010.

Accommodations include a master suite of majestic proportions, a large VIP suite with queen sized double berth, and a guest cabin incorporating twin size beds. All cabins are equipped with ensuite bathroom facilities.

The sprawling upper deck, which includes a large Jacuzzi tub, surrounded by lounges and a contemporary tower, is a luxurious addition for Spirit’s guests.

A spiral staircase leads down into the bridge deck, with an expansive sky lounge, and separate wheel house. 

The afterdeck, with its large overhang, is weather-safe.

The cockpit incorporates a large barbecue area, and access to the main saloon.

Spirit is in pristine condition. She has gone through a total refit in 2011/2012 and is constantly upgraded by her very knowledgeable owner, who is now ready to let her go for USD 1,590,000 only.
