The Island Gypsy 44 Flush Deck is a fiberglass trawler built in 1983 with a proven track record for ocean crossings. Twin Ford Lehman diesel engines rated at 270 horsepower drive the boat to a cruising speed of 8 knots, with a maximum speed of 11 knots. The design features a full prop-protecting keel, high freeboard, and an 800-gallon fuel capacity—characteristics that make her a capable offshore passagemaker.
The layout includes three staterooms with a centerline queen berth in the aft master, providing spacious accommodations both above and below deck. At 44 feet long with a 15-foot beam, the boat offers comfortable living space for extended cruising or liveaboard use.
A comprehensive refit was completed in 2013, documented through detailed maintenance records. The boat has received fresh bottom paint and has been maintained attentively throughout her years. She carries U.S. Coast Guard documentation.
The fixed bimini top stands 16 feet 6 inches high, while the mast reaches 22 feet. The mast can be stepped easily to clear the 19-foot-6-inch bridge height on the Great Loop, offering flexibility for either cruising route or bridge modification if preferred.
