This Island Gypsy spent most of her life in freshwater and has only been in saltwater for the past two years. Designed by the same naval architect behind Grand Banks, she offers the classic trawler layout, quality craftsmanship, and comfortable cruising these boats are known for.

With extensive solar, upgraded systems, current maintenance, and strong liveaboard amenities, she's ready for the Great Loop, extended cruising, or life in the Keys. Comfortable at anchor, well-equipped, and ready to go.

Turnkey and cruise-ready.
