Shoestring is one of the coolest liveaboards you might find. Great ambiance that always gets praised. 

She has a seriously spacious interior with huge galley, aft cabin and saloon. There is plenty of storage throughout. She’s cozy in winter thanks to a Little Cracker fireplace. The aft cabin measures 2.25m across at the head and a 1.25m at the foot, and it’s 2m long. Huge! 1.85m headroom in the saloon. The cockpit is nearly 9sqm with plenty of seating and storage.

Shoestring is easy to sail and can tuck in close with shallow draft. 

If you’re looking for a comfortable live aboard vessel, Shoestring is worth serious consideration.
