Island Girl Boat | 48' Offshore 1997
ISLAND GIRL is a classic 48' Offshore Sedan that offers a comfortable ride, practical layout, and quality construction, making Offshore Yachts highly respected among experienced cruisers. Built by Offshore Yachts, she features a warm satin-finished teak wood interior, teak and holly sole, galley-up arrangement, and a functional two-stateroom, two-head layout. This yacht is well-suited for owner-operators seeking a capable cruising motor yacht with strong visibility and comfortable accommodations.
Her semi-displacement hull with partial keel, fiberglass construction, and wide 15'6" beam provide a solid platform underway. The spacious salon, forward master, port guest cabin, and flybridge with bimini top create a practical and inviting layout for weekends aboard or longer coastal cruising. Exterior features include a starboard transom door, full walk-around covered decks with high bulwarks for safety, molded fiberglass swim platform, Maxwell windlass, fiberglass radar arch, cockpit wet bar sink, hot/cold cockpit shower, dinghy davit on the port boat deck, and varnished cockpit teak cap rail.
Power is provided by twin Caterpillar 3126-TA diesel engines rated at 420 HP each, replaced by Caterpillar in January 2006 with approximately 2,000 hours. Additional equipment includes an 8kw Northern Lights generator, Side-Power bow thruster, Garmin electronics package, Dometic reverse-cycle air conditioning, inverter/charger, and a well-equipped anchoring and navigation setup.
