Bandido

Details

Bandido is a striking 36’ classic timber cruiser built by the highly regarded Jack Pompei at Mordialloc in the early 1970s, a name synonymous with tough, beautifully crafted boats. Lovingly held by the same family for over 25 years and restored by Blunt Boatbuilders, she offers a rare opportunity to secure a genuine Pompei with real character and presence.

Powered by a reliable 125HP Volvo Penta diesel and carrying 1000L of fuel, Bandido is equally at home as a relaxed day boat or a capable coastal cruiser. Her wide beam opens up a huge, self-draining cockpit that’s perfect for entertaining, fishing or family days on the water.

Below deck, she’s comfortable and well set up with four berths, a practical galley with gas cooking, fridge and hot/cold water, plus a proper head with toilet and shower. With a watermaker, TV, stereo and shore power onboard, she has everything you need to step aboard and enjoy immediately.

She does require some cosmetic tidying, but this is a genuine, well-equipped Pompei cruiser with great bones, exactly the kind of boat that rewards a new owner with the potential for cruising further afield.

At $130,000 firm, Bandido represents outstanding value for a boat of this pedigree. Call Tim to arrange an inspection, opportunities like this don’t last!
