1985 Halmatic Talisman 50

Description

An incredibly seaworthy semi-displacement hull "Great Skua" takes her lines from pilot boats used throughout the world akin to the Nelson and Seaward, who both fitted out their own versions of this hull. Powered by twin 335Hp Caterpillars that benefit from a 2023 full rebuild, not only is this vessel safe and fast she is also luxurious, in 2020 she had her decks renewed by Seadecks. Sleeping six in a well-appointed accommodation that has been fully reupholstered, with new carpets and mattresses, this vessel really wants for nothing.
