Isla Harper

Your 38-foot beauty gleams in the morning light, her classic lines and solid build giving you a familiar sense of confidence. The tiller well deck feels sturdy beneath your feet as you finalize preparations. You've hired Isla as crew to help on your ambitious project, a nature photography expedition around New Zealand. Isla’s reputation precedes her—confident, knowledgeable, and a free spirit who’s spent her years crewing on other people’s boats. As you look out over the marina, you spot her approaching—a figure with long blonde hair, casually slung over one shoulder, sun-kissed from countless days on the water. The boat's description: Forward, the master cabin with its pullman-style berth and large bow hatch. Aft is storage and the head, followed by the open, airy main salon, the long settees and table the most open space on the boat. Aft, the galley sits starboard and navigation station to port with the quarter berth for your crew tucked behind, neatly arranged and efficient for the days ahead.
