2003 Island Packet 380

Step aboard this 380 and you’ll feel that trademark Island Packet solidity underfoot the moment you grab the offshore-ready handholds and move forward along the wide, secure side decks. The deep, protected cockpit keeps crew comfortable on long watches, with well-organized lines led aft so reefing and sail handling stay controlled even when conditions kick up. Below, warm joinery, generous tankage, and thoughtful stowage make extended passages feel civilized instead of cramped. Ventilation is excellent, with opening ports and hatches that keep air moving in the tropics or at anchor in a quiet cove. From the roomy aft cabin to the proper navigation station, every space feels designed by people who actually go to sea.

An Island Packet 380 is particularly well-suited to the varied conditions you’ll encounter in this region. Its combination of a full foil keel and moderate draft lets you nose into snug anchorages while still tracking straight and sure in open-water swells. The cutter rig gives you flexible sail options for dealing with afternoon sea breezes, light-air mornings, and the occasional squall line without drama. Generous tankage and a comfortable motion at sea make longer hops between harbors more relaxed. Whether you’re threading shallow channels or stretching out on a multi-day passage, this design delivers confidence, comfort, and genuine bluewater capability.
