Kong & Halvorsen-Island Gypsy 40 -- A Proven Long-Range Cruiser With Timeless Craftsmanship
Step aboard one of the most respected trawler-style cruisers ever imported into Australia. The Island Gypsy 40 by Kong & Halvorsen is renowned for its robust construction, economical long-range performance, and warm, handcrafted interiors that have stood the test of time. This is the model serious coastal cruisers seek out -- safe, dependable, and beautifully balanced for extended passages or comfortable liveaboard life.
Powered by twin Ford diesels, the IG40 delivers effortless 8-10 knot cruising with exceptional fuel economy and the reassuring reliability that has made Ford Diesels one of the most trusted marine engines in its class. With 2000 L of fuel and 757 L of water, she's built for real range, not just marina-hopping.

The layout is classic Halvorsen:
A bright, airy saloon with panoramic windows
A practical galley-up configuration
A generous master cabin with centreline berth
A versatile guest cabin
A proper separate shower stall
A huge flybridge with seating for eight
Wide walkarounds, a deep cockpit, and a protective keel make her a safe and confidence-inspiring platform for families, couples, or long-distance adventurers.
If you're looking for a vessel with pedigree, capability, and enduring value, the Island Gypsy 40 is a standout in the 38-43 ft trawler category.
