Freedom has a name – and it's Kara III
Imagine: Early in the morning, the river is still in the haze, and you are standing on the flybridge of the Kara III teak deck under your feet, two quietly whirring diesel engines below you, 1,700 liters of diesel in the tank. No fixed goal. Only the question: Where to go today?
This is exactly the promise of this yacht. The Island Gypsy 36 is not a weekend boat – it is a true long-distance yacht, built for people who take the water seriously. Built in an era where thickness of laminate was not yet decided by cost optimization.
The Kara III has been further developed over the years with care and expertise. The previous owner did not renovate – he invested: hull renovation by a shipyard, engine overhaul, modern solar system with Victron electronics, AIS, LTE on-board network, remote monitoring via smartphone. The ship thinks for itself - and still lets you enjoy in peace.
Three full-fledged sleeping areas, two bathrooms, a mess for six people, oven, refrigerator, hot water – the Kara III makes no compromises on comfort. Whether it's a family holiday on the Rhine, a weekend trip on the Moselle or a long tour of the European waterways: this boat is made for it.
And the substance gives you security: An independent expert report (2018 + 2023) confirms a market value of € 52,000 – the boat is offered honestly and transparently.

Trust is not created by words, but by facts
The Kara III has nothing to hide. The hull was professionally renovated and measured. The engines were checked and overhauled. The expert report is available. If you are looking for a boat that does not have any unpleasant surprises in store, this is the right place for you.
