Boat Description

Introducing the remarkable 1983 YachtCraft Islander 55, a custom pilothouse motorsailer that stands out as a true gem in its class. Having been owned by the same meticulous German engineer since its completion, this vessel showcases unparalleled craftsmanship, precision, and care in every detail. The YachtCraft Islander 55 boasts a robust fiberglass hull, modified for enhanced performance, and features a one-piece fiberglass deckhouse and an exquisitely designed cruising interior. With an overall length of 53'3", a beam of 14', and a draft of 6', this motorsailer is equipped with a long keel and approximately 15,000 pounds of internal ballast, ensuring stability and safety on the water. Powering this vessel is a dependable Detroit Diesel 4-53 four-cylinder engine, delivering 140 horsepower, complemented by a Northern Lights diesel generator for all your onboard power needs. The enclosed pilothouse offers excellent visibility and direct access to the side deck, while the split-level interior provides an open and versatile layout featuring a large galley, main salon, two sleeping areas, and two heads, including a separate shower and tub compartment. Although the YachtCraft Islander does not currently include sails, it comes equipped with a 57-foot aluminum mast and rigging, offering the next owner the chance to customize sails to match their cruising aspirations. This yacht is a perfect fit for those who value unique engineering, substantial construction, and a meticulously maintained vessel. Whether you're looking for a coastal cruiser, a liveaboard, or a long-range passagemaking option, this YachtCraft Islander 55 is an exceptional opportunity that transcends typical production models.
