FV Claudarah - 18.6m Offshore Longline Vessel | Proven, Upgraded & Ready to Fish

If you're looking for a serious offshore commercial fishing vessel with the hard work already done, FV Claudarah delivers a proven, turn-key solution. This 18.6m fibreglass tuna and cray boat, built by Westcoaster in Fremantle, combines offshore capability, modern upgrades, and a fully equipped fishing setup--ready to go straight to work.

At its core, Claudarah is a purpose-built longline vessel, fitted with an Amero winch and complete gear package designed for efficient offshore operations. The vessel has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a new John Deere main engine installed in 2023, a reconditioned gearbox, and a completed shaft survey--giving operators confidence in reliability and performance from day one.

With approximately 9 tonnes of refrigeration capacity across deck and freezer systems, the vessel is well suited to extended offshore trips, allowing you to maximise catch volume and time at sea. The electronics package includes Furuno sounder, radar, and GPS, supported by Starlink satellite communications--ensuring accurate navigation, fish detection, and connectivity in remote waters.

Crew comfort has also been well considered, with air-conditioned accommodation and a functional galley supporting longer voyages without compromising on safety or livability. This makes Claudarah not just capable, but practical for sustained commercial use.

Lease licence options are available, providing a streamlined pathway into commercial fishing without the need to hold an existing licence. This flexibility makes the vessel accessible to both established operators and those entering the offshore fishery.

This matters because vessels with a full longline setup, modern engine replacement, and strong refrigeration capacity are increasingly difficult to secure without significant additional investment. Claudarah offers a ready-to-work commercial package that reduces downtime, limits upfront costs, and allows you to focus on productivity.

FV Claudarah is a fully equipped 18.6m offshore longline fishing vessel with recent major upgrades, strong refrigeration capacity, and licence options available, offering a proven, ready-to-operate solution for serious commercial operators.
