Halvorsen 44

Renowned for their superior craftsmanship and distinctive design, Kong Halvorsen yachts are celebrated for combining traditional boatbuilding heritage with practical long-range cruising capability. The Island Gypsy 44 is a true testament to that legacy - featuring solid construction, elegant timber finishes, and classic trawler styling complemented by thoughtful modern updates, making this beautifully presented 1986 model ideal for extended coastal cruising or comfortable liveaboard living.

The vessel features dual helm stations - internal and flybridge - with easy walk-around access and drop-down steps from flybridge to the foredeck. The spacious cockpit includes brand new EVA foam flooring, and a large flybridge with seating for up to 10 people. A huge hydraulic swim platform with drop-down steps into the water provides convenient water access.

The interior showcases stunning handcrafted timber finishes throughout with panoramic windows providing abundant natural light. The master berth offers a queen bed, while a convertible galley dinette with drop-down table provides additional bedding. A well-appointed galley features a full-size fridge/freezer and new induction cooktop with ample storage. A private, spacious ensuite bathroom with toilet and separate shower, along with a separate laundry with washing machine, complete the accommodation. The laundry can be converted back to an additional bathroom if required.

Recent maintenance includes engine service with new anodes, oils and filters (November 2025), new upholstery and canvas roof on the flybridge (2025), slipping and antifouling (July 2025), new composite skin fittings and seacocks, stainless steel genset and engine intake strainers, and a brand new hot water system. Over $15,000 has recently been spent on new cockpit and flybridge skirts and screens. New cutlass bearings and gland packings were installed in 2025, and a new Quick Bow Thruster 120KGF was installed in 2025.

A rare opportunity to secure a timeless cruiser from one of the most respected names in boatbuilding. With its solid pedigree, generous layout, and recent maintenance completed, this Halvorsen Island Gypsy 44 is ready for its next adventure.
