Chasing Sunsets

Sloop Chasing Sunsets

Bring up the Island Packet 38 as a topic of discussion and you're likely to hear opinions that range from amazing offshore cruising yacht to sit back and get comfortable, it's going to be a long ride.

First impressions of CHASING SUNSETS:

Sound construction, great layout and voluminous storage capacity are the prime virtues of the Island Packet 38. Belowdecks the roominess and overall comforts are likely to catch the eye of liveaboards, couples cruising with guests and sailors planning an extended journey. Teak trim above deck and generous wood panels below add a traditional nautical luster.

Overall, she is very-well maintained with lots of upgrades, and she presents as a much newer boat than a 1989.
