Just subscribed. My wife and I are considering taking the plunge and buying a Super Maramu. Any thing we should know about that would likely disuade us? Id be interested in seeing some videos going over the process and fees associated with pulling in and out of Countries and parking your boat or any registration fees etc
Hey William. We believe that the Amel SM is one of the best off-shore cruisers for short-handed sailing, that has ever been built. We feel lucky to have one. As far as fees & costs go, this will depend heavily upon where you are based and where you go. It varies massively.
Google is your friend for this. See gcwa.qld.gov.au/portfolio-item/anchoring-and-mooring-in-gold-coast-waterways/ Managed by Gold Coast Waterways Authority.
I am thinking of buying 45 feet 1982 built yacht n refitting best on my own, trying to minimize cost( bit of oxymoron ha ha). Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@davylee88 Best advice I can give you under those circumstances would be (providing the hull is sound & a proven design) would be to find one with the big ticket items already done. ie. reliable & maintained engine, good sails & standing rigging in good nick. When refitting, there are so many things to think about but if you are going to live aboard, install largest fuel & water tanks you can! 👍.
Some older boats are actually better built than many newer ones & this will often be reflected in the price. Jaygo is 26yrs old & boats like this are not cheap. Good luck with your search.
As a Gold Coast resident ex sailboat owner and now trailer power boat owner this is our neighbourhood! Love it!
Very busy place. Dee loves it too.
I can’t stand the place, full of wannabe Floridians.
@TheEnzedone. It is definitely a love it or hate it place lol.

Hi great video, do you need permit n fees if you live off the seaway? How big is your boat ? Thanks
Only fee is boat rego. There are anchoring time limits & restrictions on the broadwater though, especially south of Wavebreak island. Jaygo is 53’.

@@sailingjaygo thank you very much . Best advice so far.
No worries.
I have seen quite a lot of boats similar age and size. Price doesn't seem to low.

Swans have no strength in their bills to hurt when they bite.
