BI is proud to present this outstanding 2023 Island Gypsy Newport 500, a vessel that blends timeless design with modern engineering to deliver true offshore confidence, luxurious comfort, and versatile liveaboard appeal. Purpose-built as a long-range cruiser, the Newport 500 represents the ideal balance of seaworthiness, practicality, and refined style - whether for extended coastal passages, family getaways, or full-time life on the water.

Saloon & Galley:
The main saloon is one of the standout features of the Newport 500. Surrounded by large, sweeping windows, it offers panoramic 360° natural light and uninterrupted views. The warm joinery and premium cabinetry highlight Island Gypsy's reputation for craftsmanship, while the open-plan design creates a natural flow between dining, lounging, and the helm. A comfortable L-shaped lounge with a convertible high-low dining table anchors the space, ideal for both entertaining and relaxed living. To port, the home-style galley is practical yet refined - featuring dual fridge/freezers, a 2-burner induction cooktop, microwave, deep double sinks, expansive benchtop space, and abundant storage. Importantly, the galley remains fully open to the saloon, keeping the cook engaged with family and guests whether underway or at anchor.

Accommodation:
Below deck, the Newport 500 delivers a two-cabin, two-head configuration, optimised for comfort and practicality. The Master Stateroom (Forward) offers a queen-sized island berth, ample storage, and a private ensuite with a separate shower stall, premium fixtures, and elegant finishes. Midship, the guest/bunk Cabin features a generous double berth below and an oversized single above, with thoughtful storage solutions for extended stays. The second head services the guest cabin and day visitors, also fitted with a separate shower and high-quality finishes, ensuring comfort without compromise. This arrangement provides accommodation for up to seven guests in comfort, making it an ideal platform for family cruising or entertaining close friends.

Performance & Engineering:
The Newport 500 is powered by a Cummins 660HP diesel engine, paired with a ZF gearbox and Python Drive for smooth, fuel efficient long-range performance. Designed with straightforward, service-friendly engineering, the spacious engine room allows easy access for maintenance, reinforcing the vessel's reputation for reliability and durability. Handling is enhanced by a Lewmar 24V bow and stern thruster system (95kg thrust each), ensuring confidence when docking while the HydroTab auto-trim tabs further improve efficiency, stability, and comfort underway. The onboard Raymarine electronics suite provides comprehensive navigation capability, including GPS, chartplotter, radar, autopilot, depth sounder, and VHF radio - giving the skipper full control and confidence in all conditions.
