2022 Island Gypsy 40 - Modern Classic Cruising with Practical Luxury
The 2022 Island Gypsy 40 presents a refined blend of traditional trawler styling and modern cruising capability, delivering a vessel that is equally suited to relaxed coastal passages, extended weekends aboard, and comfortable entertaining with family and friends.
Island Gypsy vessels are widely respected for their timeless design, efficient cruising performance, and practical layouts, and the Island Gypsy 40 continues that legacy with a thoughtfully configured interior, wide walk-around decks, and exceptional visibility from the helm.
Stepping aboard, the generous cockpit immediately highlights the vessel's focus on lifestyle and practicality. The covered cockpit connects seamlessly with the saloon through large opening glass panels, creating a social indoor-outdoor entertaining space that is bright, welcoming, and highly functional. Comfortable seating and a teak cockpit table provide an ideal setting for relaxing at anchor or enjoying meals on the water.
The cockpit also incorporates a highly practical electric lift tender platform, allowing effortless launching and retrieval of the tender. The platform has been fitted with a stainless steel BBQ with integrated preparation board, creating a well-equipped outdoor entertaining station while maximising the usability of the swim platform area.
A West RIB tender with Yamaha 15HP outboard is included with the vessel, offering reliable performance for shore transfers, exploring anchorages, or casual fishing excursions. The system integrates neatly with the electric lift platform, making launching and recovery simple and safe.
Inside, the saloon and helm station present a warm and inviting environment finished in classic timber cabinetry. The helm position offers excellent visibility and a practical layout suited to both coastal cruising and marina manoeuvring. Navigation is supported by a 12-inch multifunction display integrating chart plotter, GPS, and sounder, alongside autopilot, VHF communications, chain counter, and traditional engine instrumentation.
Accommodation is arranged in two well-appointed cabins, comfortably sleeping up to five guests. The forward master cabin features a generous island berth with excellent storage, while the guest cabin to starboard offers practical bunk accommodation ideal for family cruising. A centrally located bathroom services both cabins.
The galley is well equipped for extended time aboard and entertaining, incorporating modern appliances including a large fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, convection microwave with air-fry functionality, and a dedicated ice machine for chilled refreshments.
Power is provided by a Cummins diesel engine delivering efficient displacement cruising with the ability to reach higher speeds when required. An Onan generator provides reliable onboard power for air conditioning, appliances, and vessel systems while away from shore power.
With its combination of timeless styling, practical upgrades, and thoughtful cruising features, the Island Gypsy 40 remains one of the most appealing modern trawler-style cruisers in its class.
