Pre-Owned Boat Sales

This 1986 Island Packet 38 is ready for a new home and new adventures. Fresh water boat that has been well cared for with many upgrades and improvements. The IP 38 features the well proven and highly acclaimed Island Packet design concept that combines a modern full keel hull with handsome traditional styling, a versatile, easily managed rig, and an unusually spacious and livable interior. The full keel design, unique to the Island Packet line, combines a contemporary performance hull form with a foil shaped full keel. This provides the benefits of spirited, powerful performance comparable to deeper fin keel designs with the added advantages of "hands-off" tracking with superior seakeeping and safety. And the moderate draft full keel gives the full capability for blue water passages as well as exploring shallow coastal waters. 

Topsides, the IP 38 features large unobstructed deck and cabin top surfaces. Safe and secure deck work is ensured with raised bulwarks, premium course diamond nonskid, full length cabin top handrails, welded double bow and stern rails and double lifelines. The deck is trimmed with a wide teak cap rail and a stainless steel striker all around, with teak cockpit coamings and detail trim. All nonskid surfaces are molded in a contrasting color. The roomy cockpit features contoured seats with deep coaming backrests, a comfortable helmsman's seat, a cavernous locker to starboard with a storage tray to port, a cockpit ice box, and rack and pinion geared wheel steering for precise feel and utmost reliability. Details such as a cockpit shower unit, protected engine control panel, folding swim ladder, and stern and lifeline side gates add considerably to the pleasure of cruising.

The interior of the IP 38 features a unique tri-cabin layout with large forward and aft staterooms and a spacious central salon, each with private access to an adjoining head compartment with shower. The forward or master stateroom with adjoining private head further forward utilizes virtually the full beam of the yacht to create an exceptionally open, roomy layout. A large double berth, oversized hanging locker plus bureau and chest of drawers and numerous other detailed amenities provide for a gracious lifestyle for extended periods aboard. Bright, open and sociable best describe the inviting main salon. Large settees, a wide sole with retractable table, pull out double berth and numerous stowage areas allow a variety of uses including gracious entertaining , dining or a third cabin for extra guests. The aft facing nav station is quickly accessible from the cockpit and allows ready communication with the helmsperson.

The aft head compartment is centrally located by the companionway, convenient to the cockpit, salon and aft cabin. Two head doors are provided, allowing private access from either the aft stateroom or the salon. Both forward and aft heads are fitted with hot and cold pressure water, full fiberglass draining shower pans with auto sump-pump, large vanities and cabinets, and a curtained shower area with a teak seat. The forward head has a separate adjustable shower head with a built in soap tray.

Comfortable accommodations for two are provided in the roomy aft stateroom. The wide double berth, dressing seat, bureau and cedar lined hanging locker, plus private access to the adjoining head compartment with shower graciously provide for guests or crew. 

Varnished teak bulkheads, trim, and teak and holly sole, combined with premium designer fabrics and coordinated accent surfaces impart a feeling of luxury and warmth below. Ample natural light and superior ventilation are provided by numerous overhead hatches, all opening ports, four dorade vents, and louvered interior doors.
