Tropic Seas is a 48ft steal motor cruiser built in Cairns by Vince Vlasoff a locally famous crocodile hunter, game fisherman and identity. This vessel is probably the most famous small ship ever to work out of Cairns, first used for crocodile hunting trips to the Cape, the boat was also used to locate and salvage Captain Cooks cannon and also later the anchor, it was also the first marlin boat to operate out of Cairns and many famous people, including actors and movie stars have been on board.
I bought the boat 5 years ago and spent the last 4 years renovating it, and making it more comfortable for long extended trips. I am only the third owner. The vessel is Qld registered and also has Australian registration (#859580) allowing it to travel overseas.
Most of the handling is done from the fly bridge, visibility is excellent especially when navigating the reef or coming along side, all controls are here, including engine, gearbox and off course steering.
The boat has four comfortable bunks in the forecastle with air-conditioner, shower and electric marine toilet; opposite the toilet on Std side is a storage room. The Saloon which incorporates the galley is large and comfortable approx. 4.8m by 3.5m, the galley ha all modern appliances, standard gas oven stove with extractor fan, fridge freezer, (with deep freezer in dive room) and microwave. There is plenty of storage space in the galley, under and behind the built in lounge and on the Stb. side.
There is one double cabin aft of the saloon, this has a spare bunk above, wardrobe and plenty of storage for linen and other bits and pieces, there is also a very handy panty cupboard. To the rear there is a compressor room and dive storage facility; this could easily be converted back into a double cabin. The lazarette is large and used for general storage and spare parts.
The back deck is a big comfortable area some 5.5m by 3.5m and large clear side curtains protect you in the rain, there is a built in bench with sink and draws which also houses the two gas bottles and usually fishing and diving gear.
