Main description

A celebrated Westcoaster 70 and a formidable sports fisher, MEGISTI SPIRIT was crafted in 2008 and has had just three owners since new. Built by Westcoaster Boats in Perth in 2008, she is a robust game boat engineered for serious offshore performance, with a GRP hull and superstructure that have earned a reputation for strength, durability, and assured handling in the challenging conditions of Far North Queensland and Papua New Guinea waters. Twin Volvo Penta TAMD 163P-A diesel engines rated at 770 hp, turning VeemStar propellers, deliver an efficient 17-knot cruise and a 21-knot top speed, while three included propeller sets allow you to tailor the setup for fuel-sipping long-range passages or high-speed offshore runs—ideal for committed game fishing. A 6,000-litre fuel capacity underpins exceptional range and self-sufficiency for extended cruising.

Meticulously maintained above and below the waterline, MEGISTI SPIRIT received fresh antifouling in 2024, and a diver-based cleaning program keeps the hull in prime condition. Key systems are regularly serviced and fully operational, including bow and stern thrusters, trim tabs, rudders, propellers, shafts, cutless bearings, shaft seals, through-hulls, seacocks, underwater transducers, and lights. The engine room is intelligently arranged for practical access to the main engines, generators, and supporting systems, with living areas thoughtfully isolated from mechanical spaces.

Accommodation blends comfort and functionality, sleeping eight guests across four cabins, including a master suite with a private ensuite. The interior has been carefully refitted and maintained, showcasing high-gloss timber, velour and leather linings, carpeted cabins, and vinyl in wet areas. A generous main deck saloon and galley foster relaxed onboard living, while the upper wheelhouse affords excellent operational control and visibility.

Purpose-built for both blue-water angling and elegant entertaining, the exterior layout is equally versatile. The foredeck features secure cradles for two jet skis or a tender, served by a dedicated crane/davit. A teak aft deck hosts a custom-built game fishing chair that can be swapped for a twelve-seat teak table for social occasions, complemented by a bar, BBQ, icemaker, bar fridge, and deck refrigeration. Offshore capability is further enhanced by stainless steel outriggers, a side gantry for weighing fish, deck wash systems, shore power connections, and remote anchoring controls. Wide side decks with stainless steel handrails, multiple Lewmar hatches, and aluminium-framed scuttles ensure safe, practical movement throughout.

MEGISTI SPIRIT seamlessly unites offshore performance, fishing capability, and guest comfort. Ready for long-range cruising, serious game fishing, or hosting in style, she offers a proven and reliable platform for exploring Far North Queensland and beyond.
