ISLAND PACKET

IP 38

World Cruising Ready. Island Packet 38 for sale.

​

The Island Packet 38 is appreciated for its wholesome, traditional style and seaworthiness. It combines contemporary hull design with the forgiveness of a long keel, making it an easily handled yacht that takes care of itself with little helm adjustment. It is primarily a stable, comfortable cruising boat, rather than a speedy racer. Its value has been retained due to superior construction, a solid reputation and a devoted owner base.

ASKING PRICE -$119,0000 (USD)

Location - Tahiti, French Polynesia
