2002 Island Packet 380

Step below and you’re greeted by the trademark Island Packet warmth: a bright, teak-rich interior with generous headroom and sea-going ergonomics that make life underway surprisingly civilized. The 380’s U-shaped galley is tucked exactly where it should be for working safely at sea, with deep refrigeration, secure fiddles, and ample stowage for long legs between ports. Both cabins feel genuinely private, and the saloon converts easily for extra crew or guests. On deck, wide, uncluttered side decks and well-placed handholds make moving forward in a seaway feel secure. Massive tankage, cavernous lockers, and thoughtful systems access mean maintenance and provisioning are straightforward, even for an owner-operator planning ambitious miles.

The Island Packet 380 shines in these waters, where conditions can shift from flat calm to steep chop and squally fronts in a single passage. Its full-foil keel and protected rudder track confidently in lumpier seas while still making comfortable miles on lighter days. With generous fuel and water capacity, it’s well suited to the longer hops and remote anchorages common in this cruising ground. The shallow draft lets you slide into tucked-away coves and snug hurricane holes others skip. Ample ventilation, shaded cockpit space, and secure ground tackle make life at anchor relaxed and quiet, turning this capable passagemaker into a very comfortable floating home between passages.
