From the classifieds: 1988 Lloyd Custom
Want to live on the water like a multimillionaire without having to spend too many of those millions?It’s not often a special meeting place such as the Lloyd Ships-built Corroboree comes up for sale.
Corroboree was designed as an Australian charter coastal cruiser, with the focus on exploring the coastline between its summer home of Sydney and winter home of Brisbane, and idling the days away around the Whitsundays.

The Benetti-designed Corroboree was named Isis II when it was launched in 1988, the same year Australia celebrated its bicentenary.
Made from aluminium, the 33.2-metre Corroboree has even outlived the Brisbane-based shipyard that built it.
A decade after its launch, Isis II changed its name to Coroborree. And in 2015, its owners spent $12 million on an extensive three-year refit using Brisbane-based Ricky Smith Designs for the interior, and adding a lounge and dining area overlooking a newly formed full-beam fishing cockpit and swim/dive platform.
So, what do you get for your $4.5 million?
Corroboree is equipped with five staterooms with ensuites, and can accommodate up to 12 people and six crew in extreme comfort.
If you like your fishing, as well as the customised cockpit the new owners will probably get a look-in on keeping the fully equipped Stabicraft 1650 Fisher uses Corroboree as a mother ship while it explores the surrounding waters.
The motor yacht is equipped with four stabiliser fins to smooth out the journey while underway, as well as a gyroscopic stabiliser to keep things just as smooth while at rest.
If you don’t want to look at the water, Corroboree has a state-of-the-art entertainment system featuring around 3000 movies, not to mention gaming consoles and a high-speed internet connection available almost everywhere it travels, including the Great Barrier Reef.
There’s also an extensive suite of water toys on board. In an earlier life, Corroboree even had a skeet-shooting range.
will cruise along at 10 knots to range up to 2900 nautical miles – you could loop the Australian coastline with only seven fills of the 23,000-litre fuel tanks.
If you need to hustle home, Corroboree’s twin Caterpillar C18 engines will push the speed up to 15 knots.
As a charter boat, Corroboree commanded upwards of $90,000 a week. Based on that rate, if you live aboard the boat for a year, every day spent aboard from that time on will come for free.
Corroboree is for sale through Fraser Yachts Australia.
