If you're searching for a proven, long-range global cruising vessel, SHER KHAN stands in a class of her own.
Designed for serious offshore passage-making, this Australian-built aluminium expedition catamaran combines range, efficiency, and safety in a way very few vessels can match. Built by Aluminium Boats Australia and designed by Stuart Frazier Marine (Incat), she delivers exceptional stability, fuel economy, and comfort for extended ocean cruising or luxury charter operations.
With an impressive 8.1m beam, SHER KHAN offers outstanding volume and seakeeping, while her wave-piercing hull ensures a smooth and efficient ride. Capable of approximately 10,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, she is a genuine go-anywhere platform. Safety is a standout feature, with multiple watertight compartments across both hulls, providing serious offshore reassurance rarely seen in vessels of this size.
Powered by highly regarded Gardner 8LXB diesels, she cruises economically at around 32-36L per hour, making her one of the most efficient long-range yachts available.
Accommodation includes four spacious ensuite staterooms, including a private upper-deck owner's cabin. The main deck offers a bright, open-plan saloon, dining area, and galley with warm finishes and excellent natural light - ideal for extended live-aboard comfort.
Outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and adventure. The aft deck comfortably seats ten, with easy access to twin swim and fishing platforms. Dedicated dive and fishing areas include a Bauer commercial compressor, storage systems, and extensive equipment, making her perfectly suited to expedition cruising.
The vessel is exceptionally well-equipped with a Boston Whaler 210 (150hp Mercury) and a Highfield GRP RIB (25hp Yamaha), both easily deployed via an alloy davit system and bow crane.
Purpose-built for reliability, SHER KHAN features keel cooling, full keel protection, and redundant power systems, all designed to simplify operation and enhance long-term durability.
Lovingly maintained and upgraded by her current owner, she presents as a true turnkey expedition vessel, ready to depart immediately.
