1983 Island Gypsy 44 44'

The Island Gypsy 44 Flush Aft Deck is a heavily built, long‑range cruiser with a traditional trawler profile and an efficient semi‑displacement hull, ideal for coastal cruising and Great Loop passage. The galley‑up layout, generous main cabin, and private aft owner’s stateroom with island king berth make her a comfortable liveaboard platform for extended stays aboard.
