Conquest 60 Charter Vessel "Fortitude"

Fortitude is a 1997 Conquest 60 (18.4m) charter vessel presenting in excellent condition in multiple AMSA survey classes (1C, 1D, 1E, 2B). Built by Sea Chrome Marine to a Len Randell design, this vessel has undergone significant upgrades and maintenance by the current owners and is operationally ready for commercial or private use.

Powered by a single Caterpillar C18 delivering 1000hp, Fortitude cruises comfortably at 16 knots. The large PTO on the main engine drives the hydraulic bow thruster, steering, and windlass, while a Caterpillar C2-2 generator supports all 240V house systems with low running hours (2,288hrs).

With 5,000L fuel capacity and 2,350L water storage, she offers excellent range for extended charters and offshore operations.

The interior features a modern, spacious fitout with air-conditioned cabins accommodating 12 berths across three cabins. The galley is well-appointed with Corian benchtops, 2-burner convection stove, fridge/freezer, and a large gas BBQ on the aft deck.

Entertainment systems have been recently upgraded, including Starlink connectivity, a fold-away smart TV on the aft deck, and a multi-zone Fusion audio system.

Recent upgrades and features include:

- New electronics and navigation gear

- New roofing in lower accommodation

- New stereo and speakers

- New carpet throughout

- Custom wooden aft deck table with concealed storage

- Overhauled refrigeration system for under-deck blast freezer and transom fridge/freezers
