Rivergate Marina and Shipyard have been looking after classic motor yacht KOKOMO II for the past 7 months as they worked on an extensive refit which included an extension to the transom, full exterior repaint and modernisation of the engine room among other upgrades.
Originally built in the late 1980s, KOKOMO II has been carefully maintained by her owner, who is known to enjoy a range of water sports with their family, while cruising around Australia, Fiji and the South Pacific. This love of the water was the original catalyst for the idea to upgrade the transom creating an up-to-date platform for launching toys and swimming.
The owner has been delighted, describing the upgrade as “the perfect addition to an already perfect boat”. The elegant vessel is truly unique and retains the charms of a former era of luxury yachts. She’s now been reunited with her owner who will be showing her off around the harbour and waterways of Pittwater and Hawkesbury River in Sydney in the coming weeks.
Whether you’re new chartering or experienced and looking for a new adventure, the warm waters, vibrant landscapes, and diverse cultures of Australia and South Pacific make for a truly unforgettable charter vacation.
