Aquastar Ocean Star 118 à vendre

Remarks :
1998 Aquastar Ocean Star 118 for sale in Kent now £74,950
This 1998 Aquastar Ocean Star 118 presents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of these highly respected and versatile motor cruisers, renowned for their exceptional sea-keeping abilities, solid construction, and comfortable liveaboard accommodation.
Powered by twin Caterpillar 3116 six-cylinder 300hp turbo diesel engines, this example has seen only light use in recent years and was last ashore in 2021. The spacious interior offers comfortable accommodation for extended cruising or full-time living aboard, while the raised upper helm position provides excellent visibility and confident handling in all conditions.
The current owner is reluctantly offering the vessel for sale due to retirement from boating. With its generous living space, proven offshore capability, and the added benefit of a current mooring potentially being available by separate arrangement, this Aquastar would make an ideal cruising boat or comfortable liveaboard home afloat.
A well-equipped and impressively built vessel that offers tremendous value and versatility. Early viewing is highly recommended.
