Remarks
Sea Pearl is a beautiful and incredibly strong vessel, now 39 years old and still in excellent condition. In February, she was lifted out at the Gold Coast City Marina, where she underwent a full clean hull clean fresh antifoul, and had new anodes installed before being returned to the water. Alongside the impressive list of recent upgrades and modifications, Sea Pearl also comes with a wide range of additional parts and equipment--many of which are brand new and yet to be installed--offering exceptional value and potential for her next owner.
