Overview

Presenting a rare opportunity to secure a highly specified, single-owner 2005 Integrity 496CE Coastal Express Cruiser. Renowned for its "little ship" feel, incredible volume, and economical long-range performance, this vessel has been kept in immaculate condition by its original owner. With just 1,600 original hours and a proven track record of comfortable long-distance coastal passages, it represents the ultimate turnkey solution for blue-water cruising.

Currently berthed in the pristine waters of Sydney's Pittwater, this vessel stands out from the crowd with premium upgrades including Wesmar stabilizers and thrusters, a Water Witch watermaker, a dual-helm configuration (including a spacious flybridge), and stern-mounted docking controls that make short-handed berthing absolute child's play.

Engine Room & Mechanical Details

Premium Cummins Power: Powered by a single Cummins QSM11 535hp marine diesel engine. This heavy-duty, highly reliable commercial-grade engine delivers an effortless cruise of 9-11 knots and a top speed of around 16 knots.

Massive Engine Room: Because it is built with the highly efficient single-screw configuration, the white-lined engine room feels incredibly vast, bright, and open. It features excellent lighting, safety grab rails, an engineer's workbench with drawers, and dual-point access (via a solid door in the master stateroom or from the saloon).

Heavy-Duty Genset: Equipped with an Onan 11kW generator, ensuring seamless power to run your air conditioning, galley appliances, and heavy house loads while away from dock power.

Continuous Service Fuel Filters: Features dual fuel filters accessible right from the owner's cabin area. Crucially, the system is designed so that the filters can be serviced without having to shut down the main engine--a massive safety feature during long coastal passages.

Key Features & Attributes

Off-Grid Water Independence: Equipped with a premium Water Witch watermaker, allowing you to extend your stays in remote anchorages indefinitely without ever needing to pull into a marina for fresh water.

Premium Stabilization & Handling: Equipped with Wesmar active fin stabilizers for an incredibly smooth, flat ride in open seas, alongside Wesmar bow and stern thrusters for pinpoint maneuverability.

Effortless Short-Handed Docking: Features a complete set of docking controls at the stern cockpit, allowing you to safely guide the boat into its berth with perfect visibility of the swim platform and finger wharves.

True Dual-Helm Layout: Enjoy long winter passages from the climate-controlled comfort of the main lower pilothouse, or command the vessel from the expansive flybridge helm, complete with an L-shaped lounge and bimini coverage for the perfect social setup while underway.

Off-Grid & Climate Comfort: Fully equipped with reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout all cabins and the saloon, seamlessly supported by a robust solar charging system to keep your house batteries topped up while swinging on an anchor.

Massive Interior Volume: The clever asymmetrical design features a wide starboard walkway, allowing the saloon to extend fully to the port side. This creates an expansive, bright living and entertaining area that rivals much larger vessels.

Enormous Multilevel Accommodation: * Midships Master Stateroom: A luxurious, private retreat accessed via separate stairs from the saloon, complete with a generous ensuite bathroom, sit/stand shower, Corian benchtops, and a concealed washer/dryer.

Forward VIP Stateroom: Features a raised island double bed flooded with natural light from deck hatches, served by its own spacious head.
