Renowned for being the 'Land Rover of the seas' Ovni's boast an exceptional reputation for their build quality, Bluewater capability, and comfortable interiors. With their tough aluminium hulls designed to cross the world's toughest oceans, these quality vessel's are often found exploring the most remote and pristine cruising grounds. Their unique lifting keel and rudder configuration also allow the vessels to explore the shallowest creeks and anchorages, and can even be beached. This Ovni 385 is an excellent example of the design and was sailed from France to QLD over a number of years by the original owners. It then benefited from an extensive refit in 2015/2016 including NEW STANDING RIGGING, NEW PREMIUM CRUISING HYDRANET MAINSAIL AND FURLING GENOA, AND NEW B&G ZEUS 2 CHART PLOTTERS AT THE CHART TABLE AND HELM. The vessel was then purchased by the current owner in 2019. With Ovni's few and far between in the Australian market, this vessel now presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a seriously capable and comfortable yacht which can fulfil even your most ambitious sailing aspirations. Whether you want to explore the stunning waters of Southern Tasmania, enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle, or head off on the ultimate adventure, this is a vessel that can do it all with ease!
