Marine Survey & Offshore Support Refit Opportunity

*Proven commercial pedigree. Substantial recent investment. Ready for her next chapter. *

Purpose-built for Western Australia's rock-lobster industry, this Xtreme Marine 80 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a late-model, high-capacity offshore performer with proven commercial credentials.

Designed by Southerly Designs and constructed by Xtreme Marine, this vessel was launched in 2015 and was reportedly the largest lobster-fishing vessel built in Australia at the time. She was engineered for extended offshore operations, substantial carrying capacity and dependable performance in demanding conditions.

Following her fishing service and extensive refit, the vessel has been transformed for luxury charter and expedition operations. This has considerably upgraded the vessel's accommodation, amenities, systems and presentation while retaining the robust commercial foundations upon which she was built. The estimated replacement cost of a fully optioned Southerly Designs vessel of this size is now approximately $8 million.

Her current aft-deck installations were designed to be unbolted and removed, potentially allowing the expansive working deck to be redeveloped around a future owner's operational requirements.

*A Clear Pathway to Offshore Operations*

Oceaneer Marine Brokers has collaborated with respected Western Australian boatbuilder and commercial-vessel specialist Dongara Marine to explore the vessel's redevelopment for alternative commercial operations.

Dongara Marine has prepared a proposed scope of works and indicative costings, giving prospective purchasers a clearer understanding of the pathway from her current configuration to a purpose-designed commercial working platform.

Depending on the purchaser's intended operation, the vessel may be considered for:
-Offshore personnel transfer
-Fast utility and logistics support
-Survey and environmental operations
-Offshore project support
-Equipment and light-cargo transport
-Dive or subsea-support operations
-Standby and general marine support
-Aquaculture or research activities

Few vessels combine this late-model construction, commercial pedigree, offshore performance, deck area, fuel capacity and extensively upgraded onboard facilities.

For an operator seeking a substantial offshore platform without commencing with an ageing workboat or funding an entirely new build, this vessel represents a compelling opportunity.

*Important Image and Equipment Notice*
