Island Trader 40

The Island Trader 40 is a solid and seaworthy motorsailer with an excellent reputation among long-distance sailors. Designed for safety, comfort, and reliability, this vessel is equally at home on the open sea, in coastal waters, and inland waterways. Thanks to its robust construction and balanced design, the Island Trader 40 is an ideal choice for those who want carefree and independent sailing.

The Island Trader 40's design features a heavy, strong hull and a stable underwater hull. These qualities ensure smooth and consistent sailing, even in less favorable weather conditions. As a true motorsailer, this boat combines excellent sailing performance with efficient motoring, making her particularly suitable for long voyages and changing conditions. Maneuvering is easy thanks to the bow and stern thrusters.

On deck, the Island Trader 40 offers a safe and uncluttered layout. The sheltered cockpit and solid superstructure contribute to a feeling of safety and control, both while cruising and in port. Everything about this boat exudes solidity and functionality, without compromising on comfort.

The interior is warm and classic, with plenty of wood and a practical layout designed for extended stays on board. The saloon is spacious and inviting, with ample seating and pleasant natural light. The galley is suitable for both daily use and longer voyages, while the cabin offers a comfortable French bed and ample storage. The head is practically furnished with a separate shower, making the ship perfect for extended stays on board. 

The Island Trader 40 is ideal for sailors who prioritize safety, reliability, and comfort over pure speed. Whether it's long sea voyages, wintering aboard, or relaxing trips in all seasons, this boat offers the security and peace of mind that experienced boaters appreciate. Moreover, the current owner has invested significantly in recent years, including a new engine, completely new stainless steel (!) rigging, stern thruster, central heating and air conditioning units, a complete electrical system, navigation equipment, epoxy treatment of the underwater hull, and even hydraulic stabilizers! The list goes on.

In short, the Island Trader 40 is a proven design with character. Seaworthy, exceptionally charming, very comfortable, and this one in particular is also superbly equipped. In short, ready to sail for a new owner!
