If you're looking for a peaceful river lifestyle on your own liveaboard or for that perfect holiday getaway, this modern, well-designed houseboat offers everything you need and includes top-quality fixtures and fittings.
Launched in 2005, Exquisite was built by renown Murray Downs boat builder Action Craft, who specialize in construction of commercial aluminium vessels. Drawing on their extensive experience in boat building and quality workmanship, Exquisite is designed to withstand the elements and features aluminium construction for the roof, walls, and pontoons providing long-lasting durability and making this boat ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance vessel.
Taking advantage of these thoughtful construction elements, Exquisite offers a worry-free experience with many years of low maintenance houseboating (there is no timber or steel on the vessel that would require ongoing painting).
From the moment you step aboard, the spaciousness and thoughtful layout of Exquisite are immediately apparent. The forward helm area features two comfortable seating spaces with couches, while the generous rear living area is bright, airy and designed to make the most of the natural light and the rear living design takes advantage of the surrounding river views.
The open-plan rear living combines the lounge, dining and kitchen areas, creating a welcoming space that is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The stylish, well-appointed kitchen offers excellent storage and quality stainless-steel appliances, including a full gas stove, large Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher and in built microwave.
The family-sized dining area provides plenty of room to enjoy meals together, while the lounge offers a comfortable place to unwind. Durable vinyl and carpeted flooring, quality blinds throughout and two evaporative split-load air conditioners add to the comfort and practicality of this living space.
Accommodation aboard Exquisite is a traditional design with four generously sized, carpeted bedrooms, each featuring a queen-sized bed, built-in robes and the added comfort of ducted evaporative air conditioning. Two well-appointed, full-sized bathrooms provide added convenience, with each bathroom featuring a shower, vanity and marine toilet - making Exquisite well suited to extended stays and entertaining family and friends.
Upstairs, the expansive upper deck complete with spa pool provides an exceptional space to relax and entertain. Fully carpeted and protected by a sturdy Bondor hardtop, this versatile area can be enjoyed in all weather conditions, while the solar panels positioned on top add to the boat's practicality. This area is also fitted with a small galley including storage cabinet, convenient outdoor sink, fridge and washing machine. The top deck is accessed via a well designed set of stairs with handrails (no ladders here!)
The equipment provided on the vessel is where Exquisite stands out!
Following a $40,000 upgrade in January this year, the electrical systems feature- 100 a/h 4.8KW Lithium Battery Bank, Cerbo -S systems controller, Victron Multiplus Inverter and charge, controllers, Galvanic Isolator, double pole wiring and SA compliant circuit breakers and safety switches (RCD's). All of this technology for the liveaboard or long distance holidaymaker means that you can enjoy extended time on the river without need for or reliance upon shore based power.
Perfect for the long term permanent liveaboard!
