Built in 1991, and recently refitted this unique high volume
192 ft motor sailing yacht includes all the benefits of
a substantial motor yacht with the added ability to sail.
ISLANDER is powered by waterjets and incorporates two lifting
keels allowing her to access shallow water areas and can
set 25,000 sq. ft of sail.
The yacht has a very large sun deck for outdoor living and
entertainment, which includes a full central bar area, informal
dining areas, a barbeque and large jacuzzi/swimming pool
which can be used with either fresh or sea water.
On the upper deck, there is exterior dining for 12 guests
and additionally there are two informal seating areas forward
of the bridge which offer a great vantage point when underway.
ISLANDER has a substantial main deck saloon which can be
totally separated from the dining area. This lends itself
very well for corporate entertaining and meetings etc. An
added attraction is the Steinway baby grand piano for musical
entertainment.
A sky lounge with full bar, card table and upright piano
is situated on the upper deck. This is an ideal location
for evening relaxation.
An added major benefit is that the yacht is wheelchair friendly,
with through-hull access on starboard together with a lift
which provides access to all levels including the sundeck.
The yacht also has many specially widened doorways to allow
easy access for wheelchairs.
ISLANDER has benefited from a major refit in 2002-2003,
with work still ongoing. This work includes a complete overhaul
and renewal as appropriate, of the machinery and systems,
the rig, additional teak decking as well as a full exterior
repaint of the hull and superstructure, new marble, new
carpeting, replating of gold fixtures, new bedding, new
exterior furnishings, etc..
ISLANDER still has onboard a substantial and unique collection
of major artworks which sets off the relaxed interior ambiance.
ISLANDER is run by an excellent charter-friendly crew of
12, under the command of her experienced Australian captain,
Neil Batt.
