YOLO

$70,000.00Price

You Only Live Once –  YOLO is the perfect reminder to make the most of your time on the water. This brilliantly designed Trailerable houseboat and river cruiser offers the freedom to explore Australia's waterways, enjoy a permanent riverside retreat, or simply store it at home between adventures. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, a live-aboard lifestyle, or a versatile recreational vessel, YOLO delivers comfort, practicality, outstanding value, and can be launched or relocated wherever suitable boat ramps are available.  .

 

Designed for easy access and stress-free cruising, boarding is effortless thanks to the unique punt-style opening bow and stern sections, allowing the vessel to pull right up to the riverbank. Comfortable bow seating with removable cushions provides the perfect place to relax, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the scenery while underway or at anchor.

 

Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the surprisingly spacious and well-appointed interior. The starboard helm station is equipped with Hydrive hydraulic steering, Uniden UHF radio, Lowrance depth finder, GME GPS navigation system, plus reverse and side-view cameras for added confidence while manoeuvring. The galley features a three-way Dometic fridge/freezer, Dometic three-burner stove and ample storage for extended cruising. Opposite, a comfortable four-person dinette converts into an additional bed when required, allowing overnight stays for family or friends.

 

Year-round comfort is assured with a 5kW diesel heater and Dometic roof-mounted air conditioning system, while onboard entertainment includes a Pioneer stereo and 12V Kogan TV/DVD player. The bathroom is fitted with a vanity, shower and marine toilet connected to a vacuum cassette holding tank, offering a practical and compliant setup. A substantial 500-litre grey water holding tank is also integrated into the vessel.

 

The walk-around bedroom provides a comfortable double berth, extensive under-bed storage, hanging space and cupboards, creating a genuinely liveable accommodation area. A second TV point is also fitted within the bedroom.

 

At the stern, the rear deck provides access to the swim platform and houses the vessel's key service systems, including two concealed house batteries maintained by roof-mounted solar charging, a 240V MTM 4400i 3.2kVA generator, instant gas hot water service and 100 litres of freshwater storage. Numerous cleats positioned throughout the vessel allow for secure mooring in a variety of locations. YOLO is registered to carry up to eight people, making it ideal for entertaining with family and friends.

 

A major advantage of YOLO is its transportability. As the largest boat that can be legally transported on Australian roads without requiring a permit, it offers exceptional flexibility. The vessel weighs approximately 2.5 tonnes fully loaded and sits on a galvanised tandem trailer fitted with dual electric brakes safety.

 

Propulsion is provided by a Mercury 60HP Command Thrust EFI four-stroke outboard, fitted in July 2022 and showing only 358 hours of use. The motor was professionally installed by Murraylands Marine and most recently fully serviced by BEN from Slipstream Marine on 4 June 2025, with only 41 hours completed since servicing. A built-in 140-litre fuel tank provides excellent cruising range, while an as-new backup two-stroke outboard is also included and conveniently stored beneath the main bed.

 

Offered as a genuine walk-in, walk-out opportunity, YOLO is fully Gas and EPA compliant and successfully passed its most recent out-of-water Insurance Risk Assessment on 23 May 2025. This fully self-contained river cruiser presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a versatile, comfortable and economical houseboat lifestyle.

 

The current Lower Murray River Region mooring may be available to the successful purchaser for recreational use, subject to application and approval.
