S&S Defiance 30

Pintado is a well-maintained Savage-built cruiser-racer with a fin keel, powered by a reliable 2009 Beta Marine 20hp inboard diesel with approximately 1,000 engine hours.

Purchased in late 2025 from long-term owners who had cared for the yacht for more than 20 years, Pintado has clearly been well looked after throughout her life. Since then, she has successfully completed a memorable coastal voyage from Iluka, NSW to Great Keppel Island, visiting destinations including Moreton Island, K'gari (Fraser Island) and the Capricorn Islands along the way—a testament to her capability as a comfortable and dependable coastal cruiser.

Now lying in Yeppoon, she is fully equipped and ready for her next adventure.
