Western Isles is a classic expedition yacht offering a combination of heritage, range and enormous potential. Built in 1974 by Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, she now presents herself as a significant refit opportunity for a discerning new owner. A robust steel hull provides a solid foundation, while an 8,000nm range, large fuel tanks, and exceptional tender-carrying ability position her as the perfect platform to be reimagined as a world-class global explorer.

Western Isles embodies timeless lines with an elegant canoe stern. She offers an expansive sundeck crowned by a substantial hardtop, ensuring year-round usability, with a bar, jacuzzi, and generous lounging areas, with limitless potential for further development. With vast tender storage aft and a fully enclosed forward garage, she is exceptionally well equipped for extended cruising.

Her interior reflects a thoughtful layout that remains as functional today as the day it was conceived. Though in need of a refit to suit modern tastes, her layout requires no alteration. Her bridge deck salon is particularly impressive: an enormous space with a full bar that connects to a large aft al fresco dining terrace.

Western Isles offers rare flexibility with accommodation for up to 14 guests across seven en suite cabins. On the main deck, the vast full-beam master suite boasts a walk-in wardrobe and a generous en suite complete with a corner bath. A second main-deck VIP cabin is equally generous, while five double en suite cabins are located on the lower deck.

Powered by a single Daihatsu 750HP engine, she boasts an impressive 8,000nm range from her 100,000L fuel tanks, making her an ideal platform for long-distance exploration. Both main engine and generators were overhauled in 2019 and she has since been maintained under Hong Kong survey.
