The Bayswater berth is available for rent or sale with 8 years to run – with right of renewal.
If you’re committed to a liveaboard dream, DREAMTIME is the opportunity.
Her current owner has lived aboard her for 10 years and has recently renovated the interior into a stylish home. Dreamtime has a modern kitchen with all facilities, two cabins (one double and one single) with separate shower and toilet, and large entertaining areas inside and outside. Utilities are powered by gas, solar and electricity.
Included is all household furniture, wall mounted television, two European designer chairs with footstools: tables, fridge, stove, extractor fan, toilet etc.
There are deck spaces fore and aft, and up top there’s a large sundeck and covered area with a davit and space for the tender and bicycles.
Dreamtime gets along well, cruising at 4-5 knots and a top of 8-10 knots with her twin Honda 60 hp, 4 stroke outboards, and fresh antifoul. Hefty anchor and winch keep you secure in your favourite anchorage.
Built in aluminium by Alloy Boats of Tauranga, Dreamtime is a catamaran with two pontoons, that is with two tubular hulls with pointed bow and strong bridge deck. She has full length beltings and a mini keel on each pontoon allowing the boat to take the ground. A recent survey (February 2022) cites the vessel as being in very good overall condition and well-constructed. This survey and documents are available to serious viewers. Dreamtime has previously been in NZ Ship Management survey for charter operation.
