M. V DREGGEN -- A ONE-OF-A-KIND QUEENSLAND-BUILT MOTOR CRUISER

52ft | 1997 | Hand-Crafted Timber/Composite Hull | Barry Martin / Assegai Marine

Some boats are simply built. Others are created.

Dreggen is one of those rare boats that stands apart from the crowd -- a truly unique 52-foot motor cruiser, hand-built in Queensland in 1997 by Barry Martin, founder of Assegai Marine and a highly respected designer and builder renowned for producing some of Australia's finest game fishing boats.

With her distinctive hand-crafted timber/composite construction, proven pedigree and substantial recent upgrades, Dreggen is a vessel for someone looking for something genuinely different -- a boat with character, history and the capability to take you well beyond the ordinary.

Inside, Dreggen has been designed around comfortable, extended cruising. The spacious saloon provides a welcoming living area, while the well-appointed galley makes life onboard easy whether you're spending a weekend away or embarking on a much longer adventure.

She features two generous cabins with accommodation for four, along with two bathrooms, providing the privacy and comfort expected from a much larger vessel.

For self-sufficient cruising, Dreggen is exceptionally well equipped, with an onboard generator and watermaker, giving you the freedom to stay away from the marina and enjoy extended time on the water.

Navigation and manoeuvring have also been brought right up to date, with a comprehensive suite of new electronics, including:

Twin SIMRAD chart plotters
SIMRAD autopilot
Radar
AIS
Bow thruster
Stern thruster
& Much More
Whether you're navigating the coastline, exploring remote anchorages or simply enjoying long, relaxed days on the water, Dreggen offers an impressive combination of comfort, capability and independence.

Adding another dimension to this unique package is the Pacer yacht with sail wardrobe, along with a Highfield tender. A trailer for the tender is also available as an option.

A TRUE LIVE-ABOARD

Dreggen has the volume, amenities and systems to make life aboard genuinely enjoyable. With two cabins, two bathrooms, a spacious saloon and galley, generator and watermaker, she is ideally suited to those looking to spend extended periods on the water.

Equally, she would make an exceptional platform for comfortable coastal cruising, island adventures and leisurely exploration.

But perhaps the greatest appeal is simply that there isn't another one quite like her.

A Queensland-built vessel with the craftsmanship and heritage of Barry Martin, combined with modern electronics, serious onboard systems and the space to cruise in comfort -- Dreggen is a rare opportunity to own something with genuine individuality and provenance.

Dreggen isn't just a motor cruiser. She's a piece of Queensland boatbuilding history, built for a lifetime on the water.
