A Worldwide Leader...
…in Cruising Yacht Design. This worldwide recognition stems from a company that has always been proudly American owned with our yachts designed and built in Largo, FL. At Island Packet, we understand that the definition of ‘performance’ in the cruising context goes well beyond boat speed and must include safe, simple, predictable, and seakindly handling as well. That is why every model from Island Packet Yachts is designed, engineered, and built to meet these exacting requirements.
The Next Generation
Island Packet Yachts have long been known for their excellence and value. Under new ownership since January 2017, our commitment to these standards has only increased, as evidenced by Island Packet Yachts’ winning of Cruising World Magazine’s 2019 Boat of the Year Award for our 349 model, and 2021 Boat of the Year Award for our 439 model!
We are taking the traditions of our past and combining them with the new innovations and customization options the modern new boat buyer seeks. Each model embodies a host of proven design and construction features that have evolved from years of boat building experience and feedback from thousands of our experienced owner fleet who have sailed the world in a variety of conditions. Our yachts also have an impressive track record of performance, as evidenced by countless wins in offshore races and regattas throughout the United States and Europe.
Our Legacy and Yours
Island Packet Yachts has created benchmark standards and built over 2,500 yachts. Our owners are part of a group of enthusiastic sailors, who are proud to be part of the Island Packet family.
Around the world in an Island Packet...
New developments in design and technology aside, circumnavigation is not an easy task. Sailing the world is still far more than just setting the autopilot and enjoying a drink. That’s why it’s important to choose a boat that is DESIGNED and PROVEN for Bluewater cruising success. When you start with the the best hull design, best materials, and best construction processes, it makes the rest of the journey just that much easier to accomplish.
Our top three thoughts for success.
Spend as much prep and planning time as possible. Write everything down. Make itemized lists and check them off.
Go with the current and the winds, you’ll stay within the bandwidth of good weather.
Lastly, focus on and pick the right seakind AND seaworthy yacht for your travels. This will increase your comfort and could literally save your life one day.
Built for a lifestyle
From our Full Foil Keel® with protected prop and rudder, to our roller furling cutter rig or Solent rig with Hoyt® boom, each aspect of every Island Packet has been carefully designed and built to maximize the safety and pleasure of the cruising lifestyle. Exclusive design features, proprietary material technologies, unmatched resale values and award winning customer service all combine to make Island Packet the benchmark for cruising yachts. Each Island Packet model is the result of the consistent application and continuing evolution of this philosophy.
