Westcoaster 22M Tuna Longliner
Purchased in 2023 by the current owner, the FV Angelica is a fully equiped, turn-key tuna longlining operation, working from the Port of Cairns.
The vessel is mechanically in A1 condition with the vessel just completing a full main engine rebuild in March / April 2025 with genuine Caterpillar components. The main engine has only done 1,000 Hrs since rebuild and has 11 months of warranty remaining on the rebuild from June 2025.
