Interior Overview
Interior Details
Island Eagle has what we think is a pretty cool layout. In some ways, it's sort of a standard tri-cabin (e.g. Grand Banks 42) on steroids. Here are a few drawings that give you a feeling. These drawings were done right about the time that Island Eagle was launched in 1964, and so they do not feature the pilothouse (that was added about 1970). One very interesting fact is that when the boat was originally launched, there was no inside steering (here's apicture), and in fact the only way to get to the open steering station was to go outside and up that stairs just aft of the engineroom companionway. And of course, these drawings also do not feature the changes that we made in 2008.
Starting at the stern, there is a nice big aft deck. The master cabin is next, followed by the master head. The aft guest stateroom has been turned into a shop. Steps lead up to thegalley, and forward of that is the saloon. From there steps lead down to the forward cabins, and a ladder leads up to thepilothouse. One of the very best features of Island Eagle is that the main enginroom access door leads directly outside, to the starboard side deck just aft of the galley door. This really is fabulous because it means the enginroom remains well-ventilated without sending fumes and noise into the rest of the boat.
