A two-owner vessel from new, with a unique and well-documented cruising history. The current owners collected the vessel from Michigan in 2010 with just 400 hours on the mains. She was immaculate, thanks to her early years of freshwater boating and being laid up in a climate controlled shed for winter. After navigating through the Great Lakes, they cruised extensively down the US East Coast, to the Bahamas and around the Caribbean, before shipping to Australia. Since arriving in her home port of Fremantle in 2010,"Zookeeper" has been an outstanding platform for family boating at Rottnest, cruising to Quindalup and has completed several Abrolhos trips. This is a motor yacht that has been used properly and boatman maintained throughout its life.
