TS467 East Coast Timber Trawler Package

TS467 - FV Serenity - 19.8m Timber Carvel Trawler | 81 HU, Major Refits & Flexible Package Options

If you're looking for a large, proven commercial fishing vessel with significant refit work already completed, FV Serenity delivers a high-capacity, work-ready platform with strong operational flexibility. At 19.8 metres and 81 hull units, this is a serious vessel suited to operators focused on scale, durability, and long-term performance.

Serenity is a timber carvel-built vessel currently operating under a 3B Certificate of Operation, offering compliance and immediate usability. The vessel has undergone extensive refits in recent years, significantly reducing future capital expenditure and positioning it for continued commercial service.

A major 2019 refit saw the hull stripped back to bare timber below the waterline, fully refastened, recaulked, and sealed, along with replacement of front sponsons and keel cooling blocks--delivering structural integrity and longevity. Further upgrades in 2021 enhanced both deck capability and operational systems, including new stainless steel side winches, gallows, A-frame, and stays, all built for strength and reliability in demanding conditions.

Fishing efficiency has been further improved with the addition of a new try gear frame, electric try winch, and lazy line winches, while a new stainless steel console and a complete hydraulic system upgrade--including hoses and boom rams--ensure smooth and dependable operation across all deck functions.

The vessel was freshly slipped in October 2024, reinforcing its maintained condition and readiness for immediate deployment.

Flexible purchase options allow you to structure the package to suit your operation. The vessel is available on its own for $180,000 plus GST, not including fishing equipment and deck gear. A full package including Primary Licence and T1 is also available, with additional entitlements--6,008 Central Zone TEUs and 711 Southern Inshore TEUs--available by negotiation.

This matters because vessels of this size with major structural refits and upgraded systems are increasingly difficult to secure. Serenity offers a turnkey or scalable solution, allowing you to step straight into operations or expand with additional quota as required.

FV Serenity is a 19.8m timber carvel commercial fishing vessel with 81 hull units, extensive recent refits, and flexible licence and quota options, offering a high-capacity, ready-to-work solution for commercial operators.
