Extensively restored and upgraded in 2024, this Island Packet 40 is a rare opportunity to own a truly turn-key cruising yacht. Combining the legendary offshore capability and craftsmanship of Island Packet with virtually every major system replaced or modernized, this vessel is ready for coastal cruising, offshore passages, or full-time liveaboard adventures.
The heart of the boat is a new Yanmar diesel engine paired with all-new running gear and a new rudder, providing exceptional reliability and peace of mind. To further ensure long-term dependability, the vessel received new fuel tanks and new freshwater tanks in 2024. Navigation has been completely modernized with a premium Raymarine electronics suite installed in 2024, featuring Axiom Pro multifunction displays, a 48-mile radar, Raymarine autopilot, wireless dual VHF radios, and a RealVision transducer for advanced sonar and charting.

A new bimini top and full enclosure provide outstanding protection from the elements, while Starlink Mini and solar panelsallow you to stay connected and self-sufficient wherever you cruise.
Sail handling has been completely refreshed with new Quantum Dacron sails installed in 2024, including a roller-furling genoa, roller-furling staysail, and in-boom furling mainsail, delivering excellent performance with effortless handling.
