Used Island Trader 45 Sailboats for Sale

The Island Trader 45 is a quintessential heavy-displacement cruising ketch, renowned for its solid construction, comfortable motion, and spacious accommodations designed for extended voyaging and liveaboard comfort. Originally conceived by the prolific naval architect William Hardin, this model emerged during Taiwan's "golden age of boat building," a period marked by the production of numerous capable fiberglass yachts for the international market. While derived from earlier designs by Hardin International, the Island Trader 45 was notably built by Marine Trading International, carrying forward the robust design philosophy that defined William Hardin's work.
