What Owners Say

Islander Freeport is the kind of cutter that owners often praise for combining comfortable cruising accommodations with serious passagemaking character. The two-cabin layout fits the liveaboard and extended-cruising appeal that sailors value in this class, with enough interior space to make time aboard feel easy. Owners also tend to appreciate the Freeport’s stable, confidence-inspiring sailing manners and the versatility that comes with a cutter rig for varied conditions. Fiberglass construction adds to the sense of durability and straightforward ownership that many sailors look for in an older cruising boat. This example stands out for its two-cabin arrangement and broad cruising proportions, which align well with what owners like most about the model.
