Motor Yacht for sale - anyone on here interested?

Ha! That boat is called Islander. Not the prettiest thing. Until about two years ago it had 2 masts and was a motor sailer, then the current owner had the masts removed. The starboard side pic is photoshopped to remove the masts, because it still had them when that shot was taken. The girl who cheffed my boat this summer used to be chef on it. Google "motor sailer islander" and you'll see more

Thanks for that JFM,

Just found the old charter brochure here:

http://www.laseradblog.com/watercooler/2010/01/yacht-brochure-motor-sailer-islander.html

Big old yacht....seems over valued at £15m in the current market.....

The price when i clicked on the link was £10m but that is way more than a boat like that is worth in today's market. They might get interest at the £5m mark but even then the market will be very thin. Islander is well known as a not hugely desireable boat
 
I wouldnt touch it, pictures taken with a mobile phone from 10 years ago, small and riddles with pixels. No description other than a copy and paste of the stats, no price for deliver any where in the world which is offered, no viewing appointments, no mention of the amount of crew needed just to get it moving.

Something like that would be in a glossy magazine (not that sort of glossy magazine you lot) with a full spread, brochures sent out to perspective buyers, not some crappy add on fleabay.

Just my opinion:D

Is there anything you don't know about the world of big boats?

Keep smiling

Henry :)
 
Methinks more offers would come in if the ad was written in russian & priced in roubles. Around 25 suitcases of the stuff would probably suffice.
