Introducing 'SUMO', a Lipari 41 Evolution built by Fountaine Pajot and renowned for combining generous liveaboard volume with genuine sailing performance.

The galley-up saloon flows seamlessly into the cockpit entertaining space, while the owner's layout offers two generous queen cabins, a large double cabin, a forward single berth plus the ability to convert the saloon table into additional accommodation. The capability of berthing 8+ guests is a huge benefit for bare boat charter or private coastal cruising with friends and family.

She also boasts a beautifully sized ensuite on the master cabin side and another large head and shower on the port side that provides ample comfort and space for guests.

A Highfield RIB with 9.8hp outboard, BBQ, cockpit clears and full inventory round out a vessel that is ready to continue working or slip effortlessly into private ownership.

Opportunities like this rarely land: a proven charter-performing Lipari 41 Evo with $55K in potential forward bookings, prepaid commercial berth and a seamless transition into ownership already set up.

Positioned in the Great Sandy Straits, the gateway to K'gari (Fraser Island), SUMO enjoys one of Australia's most protected and picturesque cruising regions. Calm waters, year-round charter appeal and easy access to the islands make this location a standout for both private use and ongoing commercial return.

Currently operating in charter in Hervey Bay, 'Sumo' is offered with a current great stream of forward bookings included in the sale, giving her new owner instant revenue and a seamless continuation of an established charter program. Add to that prepaid commercial berthing through to November 2026 if the vessel remains in the charter fleet, and you have a rare turnkey opportunity where the heavy lifting has already been done.

Whether you're looking for a smart marine investment, a vessel that helps offset its own running costs, or a cruising catamaran already positioned in one of Australia's best sailing destinations, SUMO offers a compelling, ready-to-go package that very few comparable Lipari's can match.

Income from day one. Location that sells itself. A cruising cat that earns her keep.
