Colors are light and harmonious. Moving forward, the Dining Room which can be separated from the saloon by way of sliding doors features a dining table which can seat sixteen guests for more formal occasions and is serviced by a full commercial galley. The owner and guest cabins are accessed by way of the large lobby on the starboard side of the yacht which incorporates a small seating area for taking coffee. From here, you enter the owner's suite which is completely private from the rest of the ship and benefits from the full width of the vessel. This huge cabin is flanked by his and hers bathrooms fitted out in magnificent honey colored onyx and two large dressing rooms. The entire area is bright and airy with large windows. Adjacent to the owner's suite on the main deck there is a private office with en suite bathroom which can convert, if required, to a double guest cabin. The remaining four guest cabins, three with double bed and one with twins and a Pullman berth, are located on the lower deck of the yacht and each feature en suite bathrooms; two of which have large Jacuzzi baths. Each guest stateroom has large portlights looking over the water. In contrast to the main saloon, the bridge deck saloon is more attuned to night time entertaining with its long cocktail bar, large flat screen television and extensive music equipment including upright piano. There is also comfortable seating and a card table in this area. Of course, much of the time spent on board any yacht is on deck and Islander offers many different opportunities. Forward of the bridge there is a seating area where breakfast can be taken and large sun pads where guests can relax in the sun in comfort. Leisurely lunches or dinners can be served in the shade on the bridge deck level and probably the most spectacular area is the upper deck with its large swimming pool, barbecue and circular bar. This is the perfect place to while away the days. Despite Islander's massive spaces she is, after all, a sailing yacht and her 150ft high schooner rig is equipped with her furling sails, joystick controls, hydraulic backstays and Barient winches. The main helmsman's position while under sail is located on the upper deck, however, the wheelhouse one deck below would be envied by the captain of any motor yacht with its upright windows, good visibility, forward looking navigation station and large comfortable sofa for guests. Technically Islander was built to exacting standards with a large engine room with separate generator room. Thanks to opening doors in the hull just adjacent, access to the engine room itself is an easy operation when work is in progress. Islander has undergone several refits over the years, the most major of which was in 2003 when she was re-engined and she is presently going through a refit now. She has completed her 15 year ABS survey. Islander is fully certified for charter allowing her commercial registration and all of its benefits. Islander was built with world cruising in mind and she has proved fully capable of doing so. Many of her features are clearly the result of careful forward planning by her experienced owner and designers. These, now common on more recent vessels, were unusual at the time of her construction, her propulsion package, the retractable keels, the full size elevator which rises from the lower deck up to the sun deck, the opening doors in the hull, the large crane, capable of lifting a large car, the three powder rooms for use when entertaining in large numbers, the extensive storage space including walk in fridges and freezers, opening windows in saloons and owner's cabin, the list goes on and on. This is a very impressive vessel and inspection by anyone looking for a long distance cruising yacht is highly recommended.
