Boro Pilothouse Ketch Custom Ocean Cruisier


Island Time is one of the best live a board yachts you could find. It's like an apartment on the water but still sails well.
Built in Fremantle at the Gosnell yard to a customised Boro 65 Ocean Explorer design. She is a heavy weather capable blue water explorer with true long term liveaboard capabilities.
Island Time is a true blue water cruiser, built to last, with her current condition and presentation a testament to the owner's recent restoration & refit works.

The reliable Perkins 6-cylinder 240hp diesel engine cruises comfortably at around 8 knots under power alone while consuming approximately 7 litres per hour. She'll also do a comfortable 8 knots under full sail delivering an impressive cruising range.
Her condition for her age, combined with the solid build and reassuring feel of Island Time, makes her an outstanding opportunity for someone seeking a capable ocean going live aboard yacht with many more miles of exploration ahead.
