Greetings from the crew of NefariousPirateship, a functional metal art piece constructed over three years with the help and skill of many.


Australia is surrounded by the sea, and there are only three ways off the continent - air, water or death. That's your choice. From a young age, Australians are drawn to the sea and watching the skies, wondering what lies beyond the horizon and how to get there. However, leaving the country is not easy, and visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures can be challenging. Nevertheless, NefariousPirateship provides a secure vessel for exiting and exploring the world.


As someone who has lived on every continent except Antarctica, I can say with certainty that there isn't a continent that one can't exit into another country via road or even by foot, except Australia. Australians are proud to explore the world, not just to show off to others, but to prove it to themselves.


Nefarious is the theme of our vessel, and while we never skimp on safety, we are goal-driven and pragmatic. We equip ourselves with the necessary skills and equipment required to tackle any situation that may arise, be it underwater broco thermal lances, Mustang full survival suits, diving gear, reinforced hull, four airtight compartments, compressors, all standard gear on NefariousPirateship. For those whose needs exceed the vessel's capacity, arrangements can be made to accommodate them.


We own the majority of the equipment, and we can send the boat anywhere one desires. The vessel is available for anyone who shares our passion for creation, exploration, and repurposing. We understand that different jobs require different tools, and we are willing to provide whatever is needed to get the job done.


During the three years of creating this vessel, we went through two phases. The first phase involved traveling to the border and spending weekends making the boat seaworthy enough for its trip south into the Bass Strait. The second stage involved getting the boat up on hard stand and gutting it entirely, sandblasting all surfaces, removing all windows and fifty years of other people's jerry-rigged fixes.


Now, the metal art begins, and when you view the whole collection, you can see the skill of our onsite fabricator, who has been a shipwright engineer for over 30 years. He and the crew can accomplish almost anything. From complete rewelding and reinforcing the hull to adding internal airtight compartments and installing a purpose-made rear watertight door and newly fitted front bunkroom and front holding compartment.


We fabricated a rear duckboard, rear gateway, rear ladder, and stainless steel upper deck flybridge with a 72 nm open array radar and 3D sonar. We also completed a wave breaker and bow reinforcement on site, which made a significant difference. We cut out and replaced the entire window bow section, reinforced it, and completed all new wiring, plumbing, tanks, insulation, and more. Rear crane mounts and front tripod mounts were installed for convenience and functionality.


What was once headed for the scrap heap has become a functioning pirate vessel under the brand name of NefariousPirateship.


Whom doesn’t want a private pirate vessel able to sneak around ram and board another vessel and in comfort and strength not encouraging these acts more of an educational exercise really There are people like me all over the world some are nice some aren't but all are strong skilled smart and dedicated. I'm older than most doesn’t mean I don’t do stuff for shits and giggles just means I know what pear shape is and I do my best to make that situation happen to the other side. I also happen to know and like a fair few of them they can use my boat and I can use theirs. If you can't supply your own crew one can be hired A WORD TO THE WISE SHOULD SUFFICE The boat can be sent anywhere whomever sends it pays the bill. Not cheap but loyal and silent is the best type to hire.


We have been manufacturing hydroponic plant formulations and equipment for over 30 years, and some of the images are of these items. Our skill, finance, and grit made this pirate vessel a reality.


If you are into creation, exploration, reuse, repurposing, or pirate ships, feel free to contact us day or night. We believe in the sum of the whole, and while miracles may take an extra 30 minutes, we can make them happen.


Whomever sends the vessel out pays the bills.

Regards, T
