A Legend Reinvented!

Island Packet Yachts have long been known for their excellence and value. Under new ownership since January 2017, our commitment to these standards has only increased, as evidenced by Island Packet Yachts’ winning of Cruising World Magazine’s 2019 Boat of the Year Award for our 349 model, and 2021 Boat of the Year Award for our 439 model!

Uncompromised Design

Each aspect of every Island Packet has been carefully designed and built to maximize the safety and pleasure of the cruising lifestyle. Exclusive design features, proprietary materials technologies, unmatched resale values, and award winning customer service, all combine to make Island Packet Yachts the benchmark for cruising yachts.

Distinctively Yours

Today, we are adding an increased focus on innovation and customization to take Island Packet Yachts forward into the Next Generation. We want to build YOUR Island Packet Yacht!

The Right Yacht

Choosing the right sailing yacht for offshore cruising is exciting. While Island Packet is not a racing yacht per se, we’re honored to be counted among the competition’s best.

Around the world in an Island Packet...

New developments in design and technology aside, circumnavigation is not an easy task. Sailing the world is still far more than just setting the autopilot and enjoying a drink. That’s why it’s important to choose a boat that is DESIGNED and PROVEN for Bluewater cruising success. When you start with the the best hull design, best materials, and best construction processes, it makes the rest of the journey just that much easier to accomplish. 

Below are our top three thoughts for success.
