Superyacht Islander off Cannes

When launched back in 1991 by Australian Yacht Builders, Islander (ex: The Other Woman) was one of the most extraordinary sailing yachts ever launched. She featured two tall masts, as well as twin 2330 HP MTU 12V4000 diesels, powering twin waterjets. More recently, Islander's masts were removed, and she has now been turned into a motoryacht. Following her two-year refit, Islander joined the YPI Charter fleet. She is run by a crew of 12 under the command of South African Captain Duncan Stephenson.
