This 2014 Whittley 2800 Cruiser, one owner from new and one of the first ever fitted with a Volvo Diesel engine with only 205 Hours is now on the market!
Presented in exceptional condition, this one-owner from factory 2014 Whittley 2800 Cruiser is a standout example of quality Australian boat building, seamlessly combining refined comfort, proven offshore capability, and outstanding mechanical integrity.
Powered by a Volvo diesel engine with just 205 hours, the vessel delivers smooth, efficient, and reliable performance. It has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life, reflecting a high level of care both mechanically and cosmetically and has been recently serviced and fully detailed inside and out.
Importantly, this boat has been dry stacked from day one and has never been antifouled, preserving the hull in excellent original condition a significant and rarely found advantage.
A standout feature is the extra-large swim platform, fitted with full stainless steel railings and a secure gated entry, providing a safe and versatile space ideal for fishing, water access, and entertaining. This great design combined with one of the deepest internal free board makes the boat exceptionally family-friendly, offering peace of mind for children and guests while maximising usable deck space.
The Whittley 2800 is also particularly well suited to taller owners, offering generous headroom throughout, including at the helm/cockpit and within the cabin and galley areas, enhancing comfort and usability both underway and at rest.
Renowned for its solid construction and intelligent design, the Whittley 2800 provides a spacious and comfortable cruising platform with a plethora of table/seating and sleeping options, combined with a huge amount of underfloor storage and cupboards, making it suitable for weekend escapes, extended coastal cruising, or relaxed time on the water with family and friends.
