A Fully Refit Bluewater Ketch with New Lithium Electrical System, Screen Navigation Suite, and Turn-Key Caribbean Cruising Pedigree
Super Mario is an outstanding example of the Morgan Out Island 512, one of the most popular full-keel Bluewater cruisers Charles Morgan’s yard ever built. Roomy and stable, she carries a spacious three-cabin, two-head interior finished entirely in teak, and she is set up for genuine long-range, off-grid cruising. The current ownership has invested heavily and recently in her systems, and she is ready for a new owner to simply launch and go.
The standout feature of this listing is Super Mario’s comprehensive 2025 electrical rebuild. The entire system was replaced from the ground up around Victron components, anchored by a 1,840 amp-hour lithium battery bank, a Victron MultiPlus 3,000-watt inverter/charger, and 1,200 watts of solar across two Victron charge controllers. The Kohler 9.5kW generator was fully refurbished the same year and shows only 200 hours since overhaul against 6,400 total. Combined with an 800 gallon-per-day Village Marine water maker, Super Mario is equipped to live comfortably at anchor indefinitely.
Power comes from a Perkins Sabre M135, a 135-horsepower, six-cylinder diesel with 5,450 hours on the clock and only 200 hours since a major overhaul. A 2026 navigation refit added a new Garmin chart plotter, Garmin Reactor autopilot, and Fanton Garmin color radar, paired with SI-TEX AIS and a Starlink Mini for offshore connectivity. A bow thruster and electric davits round out a boat built to be handled easily by a shorthanded crew.
The current owners purchased Super Mario in 2020 and delivered her from George Town, Exuma to Linton Bay, Panama, an eight-day Caribbean passage during which she both sailed and motored well. In the six years since, she has cruised the Caribbean and been maintained to a high standard throughout, with standing rigging replaced in 2023 and a fresh ablative Sea Hawk bottom job completed in 2026. She was hauled in July and painted specifically for her next owner to launch and go.

The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.

This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.
Super Mario’s interior is finished entirely in rich teak with a teak parquet sole throughout, giving her a warm, finished feel that belies her age. The layout is a practical center-cockpit arrangement with a three-cabin, two-head accommodation plan: a full-beam salon and dinette amidships, a starboard guest stateroom and forward V-berth cabin sharing a guest head, and a private aft master suite with its own ensuite head.
Entering down the center companionway, the salon opens up immediately, its sense of volume increased by a bulkhead-mounted mirror forward. Moving aft over the teak parquet sole, the navigation station sits to port with chart and manual storage, across from double doors into the engine room and a tall pantry closet leading back to the master stateroom. Forward of the salon, the guest head sits to port with the starboard guest stateroom across from it, and the V-berth cabin forward of that.
Interior Styling and Additional Features:
MAIN SALOON
The salon is the heart of Super Mario’s interior, offering an open dinette and settee arrangement finished entirely in teak. The pivoting galley sits to port at the base of the companionway, with an open six-passenger dinette to starboard and settees running port and starboard further forward, all recently reupholstered.
MASTER STATEROOM
The private aft master suite is entered via a passageway alongside the pantry closet from the salon. It features a transverse queen berth with storage built in behind finished cabinet doors on all sides, and direct access to the master head and engine room.
Master Head
The master head is finished to the same standard as the rest of the interior and includes a macerator head with a keyed lock-out, a bidet, and a full tub with shower.
GUEST CABIN (STARBOARD)
The starboard guest stateroom sits across from the guest head, forward of the salon. It offers newly upholstered over-and-under convertible berths and a closet that could double as a workroom for a more industrious owner.
GUEST CABIN (FORWARD)
Forward of the starboard guest stateroom is the V-berth cabin, the most forward accommodation aboard.
Guest Head
The guest head sits to port between the salon and the two forward guest cabins, finished with a Lavac toilet and teak cabinetry.
Super Mario’s galley is a large, recently updated pivoting unit positioned to port at the base of the companionway, well equipped for extended offshore cruising.
NAVIGATION STATION
The navigation station is positioned to port between the salon and master stateroom, with a dedicated desk for chart work and system monitoring.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
Super Mario’s electronics were substantially upgraded in 2026, centered on a new Garmin navigation suite.
HULL
Super Mario is a solid fiberglass, full-keel monohull built by Morgan Yacht Corp., one of Charles Morgan’s most popular Bluewater designs. She carries a fixed full keel and a consistent 5’ 6” draft, giving her dependable tracking and shallow-water access without the complexity of a centerboard.
DECK
The deck is set up for serious offshore cruising, with dual custom hard tops, extensive ground tackle, and thoughtful storage throughout.
COCKPIT
The cockpit is fully enclosed and set up for comfortable passage making, with a hard dodger top, custom teak table, and pedestal-mounted navigational electronics.
MAST AND RIGGING
Super Mario carries a ketch rig with standing rigging replaced in 2023, giving a buyer a long runway before the next rigging investment is due.
SAILS AND WINCHES
The sail inventory is in good condition with several recent replacements, and the main has been converted to roller furling with all controls led to the cockpit.
ENGINE AND MECHANICAL
Super Mario is powered by a Perkins Sabre M135, a 135 HP six-cylinder diesel with 5,450 hours, only 200 of which have accumulated since a major overhaul.
PLUMBING AND TANKAGE
Super Mario carries 345 gallons of fuel and 345 gallons of fresh water, both in aluminum tanks, plus a 15-gallon plastic holding tank and an 800 gallon-per-day watermaker for extended time away from the dock.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The entire electrical system was replaced in 2025 around Victron components, anchored by a substantial lithium battery bank and a generous solar array.
BROKER’S COMMENTS
Super Mario is an outstanding example of the popular Morgan Out Island 512 series. I sold this boat to the present owners in 2020 and helped deliver her from George Town, Exuma to Linton Bay, Panama — she was impressive across the eight-day Caribbean passage, sailing and motoring equally well, with the generator comfortably powering air conditioning and the water maker underway.
Since that delivery, the owners have cruised her around the Caribbean for six years, always keeping her in top condition, and have added substantial new gear over the last couple of years. She was hauled in July and painted for the next owner to simply launch and go.
I highly recommend this boat and, in my opinion, she is of terrific value at $110,000.
