Boat Description

S/V Island Girl is now on the market! This pristine 1991 Island Packet 38 was designed by the well-renowned naval architect Bob Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts in the USA. The Island Packet 38 is celebrated for its exceptional ability to navigate the seas with both safety and luxurious comfort. Its unique full foil keel design enhances directional stability and provides excellent protection for both the rudder and propeller, ensuring peace of mind during your travels. The robust construction of these vessels, featuring solid fiberglass hulls and decks, significantly reduces the likelihood of osmotic blistering, a common concern for other boat brands.

This Island Packet 38 has a well-thought-out three-cabin layout with two heads, each with a shower and an electric marine toilet, so comfort and convenience are prioritized throughout the vessel. Step inside to discover exquisite handcrafted solid teak joinery that has been maintained in beautiful condition. The forward stateroom features a spacious Pullman berth, ample storage, and its own private head and shower. The main salon has a U-shaped dinette that converts into a double berth and a settee that can transform into a single berth, and a fold-down table adds to the versatile dining experience. The dedicated navigation station is conveniently located to starboard, just forward of the galley, and the galley is fully equipped with ample counter space and storage. In the aft cabin you’ll find a large cozy double berth, a hanging locker, and direct access to the second head with shower, providing extra privacy for guests or family members. For added comfort this vessel has two marine air conditioners.

S/V Island Girl is powered by a brand new Yanmar 4JH45 diesel engine that has only three hours of usage, coupled with a new transmission and electrical harness installed in fall 2024. The engine compartment is equipped with a state-of-the-art fire suppression system, providing an added layer of safety while you enjoy your time at sea. For enhanced maneuverability, Island Girl features a Vetus bow thruster, enabling you to dock with ease and precision even in tight spaces. The stainless wire standing rigging and sails are in great condition and the chain plates were replaced three years ago.

S/V Island Girl has been seasonally cruised for many years and has been outfitted for long-term cruising.

With its thoughtful design and robust build quality, inside and out, the S/V Island Girl stands as an exceptional choice for anyone looking for a high-end blue water cruiser without sacrificing creature comforts. This beautiful Island Packet 38 is ready to take you on your next adventure!
