Islander 36 Prices

This page has been established as a posting place for those interested in buying or selling an Islander 36 or other boats included in the Association.

We are occasionally asked about Islander prices. Prices vary a lot. There was an '83 or '84 asking $60,000, an '81 was listed for $49,500, though we've heard of hulls needing a lot of work for around $30,000 or even less. One boat that had been purchased after being underwater for a while went for $4,000 and one on the hard in Spain for a year went for $10,000.

Several have had complete make overs for $20,000 and up. So, people are willing to invest a good deal in Islanders. A typical survey replacement value new would be in the neighborhood of $125,000.

A lot depends on the year and the condition of the boat. A smart buyer will insist on a marine survey. If you haven't had one in a while, you might get one and that will help you a lot in knowing the relative condition and value of your boat. Gas vs diesel is not usually a major factor in pricing. The condition of the sails is probably more important than the number -- a boat in top racing condition would generally have a higher price, but there are also probably fewer buyers looking at Islanders as racing boats than cruising boats.

Our ground rules for this page are simple. All parties must provide their name and e-mail address, phone contact is highly encouraged. Sellers must be Association members, describe the boat, it's general condition, and location. We will post the listing, including the date of posting, and remove the listing in 3 months or if the transaction closes.

I-36 Ira-Ricarda for Sale

(Past Commodore Fowler received this unusual request to post a listing, which we usually restrict to members of the Association, but given the totally international nature of the request, we'll post it for a while.)

I'm Axel Seifried from Germany. I own an Islander 36 for 6 years now and successfully cruised the south pacific. But now it's back to work for me and the boat is for sale in Sydney/Australia. I would like to post the details on your website but I'm not a member of your association. Please let me know if you would post the details.

Thank you,

I-36 Karma for Sale

I am very reluctantly exploring selling my 1975 Islander 36, Karma.

She is a very good boat in great condition docked in Marina Del Rey, CA and comes with an 8.5 foot Achilles dingy with a 5 horse Nissan 4 stroke outboard. The boat has a hunter green hull and a cream deck. All the teak is in great condition (refinished regularly). The auxiliary is an old Atomic 4 that runs great and doesn’t smoke. All of the rigging is cleaned regularly and the boat maintenance is all up to date. Most of the electronics are original (so therefore not state of the art), but I have added a water heater and pressure system, an inverter to run a computer at the nav station and new wiring to all essential functions. Everything is in good working order, and the boat’s ready to sail away.

I’d like to get about $40,000 for it.

I’ve retired and my whole family gets sea sick, so the cost is getting to be a problem for how little we use her.

Islander 36 Winter Cover

After having my Islander 36 for ten years, King Neptune decided to sink it (along with other boats) this summer. Basically, Long Island Sound had a “freak storm” that caught the entire region off guard. According to my insurance agent over 150 boats were totaled. In any event, I still have in storage my winter cover (includes a frame) that fits an Islander 36 “like a glove”. Accordingly, could you please post this cover’s availability to the I-36 community? I am asking $1,200.00 (shipping included) as the frame itself is worth $1,000 and the cover has at least five good years left. Assuming the west coast charges are similar to those on the east coast – the cost is cheaper than 5 years worth of shrink-wrap.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
