1998 Island Packet 40

The Island Packet 40 is one of the best cruising boat designs, ever.

She has two heads with the owners cabin with ensuite head forward. This layout truely affords privacy for two couples and offers a terriffic design for passagemaking. When coming down the companionway, everything you need is right there. Galley....nav station....head and aft cabin.....right there and perfect for those long runs

The forward cabin is the owners cabin and has a large pullman style berth to starboard with a bank of drawers underneath and a hanging locker and storage compartments to port. The private head ,with shower, is forward, in the bow. 

The main saloon is large and bright with bulkhead mounted table (Island Packet's signature), facing settees and aft facing nav station. The amount of storage in this boat is amazing, since the tankage is low. There is huge bin storage under and behind the settee's. Also, with opening ports and opening overhead hatches, she ventilates very well.

The aft cabin is to the port of the companionway and is well ventilated and roomy, with a door to the guest head.

To starboard of the companionway is the galley. It's a well designed galley with adequate counter space, good storage, a three burner propane stove with oven, microwave, double bowl stainless steel sink and a refrigerated icebox/ freezer with custom divider.

• Reverse cycle heat and air
• Microwave oven
• Gleebe Creek Screens for all overheads and companionway
• Watermaker, with spare filters

The galley is located at the base of the companionway to starboard. It is spacious and safe and has nonskid on the floor to help you keep your footing.  Also, the galley is open to the salon, so the cook is always part of the activities.
