The Island Pilot 535 gives new meaning to the term, “Island Hopping!” You can cruise to the Caribbean at 8 knots, safely, economically and comfortably, then “hop” island to island at 25 - 30 knots. What other liveaboard cruiser can do this? With a top speed of  30 knots and cruising speeds up to 25 knots, she will out perform every other cruising yacht in her class - both in available speeds and efficiency of operation. READ MORE.

Read Peter Janssen’s take on the IP535 in the January ‘12 issue of Yachting Magazine. Plus there’s a photo album of Billy Black pictures plus a Joyce Black video.

The Island Pilot 435 is the perfect yacht for making memories afloat. At any speed. At 8 knots. 18 knots. 28 knots. Anchored. Tied up. Her true “Live-aboard” interior sacrifices nothing providing for a comfortable, relaxing on-board life-style.

With her ability to cruise at full-displacement, “trawler,” speeds at similar fuel efficiencies as single-screw slower boats - with her ability to cruise at semi-displacement, “tug yacht,” speeds at similar fuel efficiencies as the mid-speed cruisers - with her ability to cruise at “faster than anyone else” speeds at “better than anyone else” fuel efficiencies makes the Island Pilot a “Class Unto Herself” in the cruising market. Save on fuel, when you want - get to where you’re going quickly, when you want. Your fuel usage is entirely up to you, the owner.

The Island Pilot is like no other fast trawler. She’s faster. She’s quieter. She maneuvers better. And perhaps most importantly, she’s more efficient! She goes farther faster with less fuel!Owners have taken their Island Pilots to the Bahamas, Maine, the Florida Keys, the San Juan Islands, up and down the ICW and the “Great Loop.”The only way to really appreciate the Island Pilot experience is to get on board, take the helm and see for yourself.
