Island Packet 350
Description
The Island Packet 350 is a quintessential American bluewater cruiser designed by Bob Johnson and produced by Island Packet Yachts from 1997 to 2000, with approximately 50 units built. At 35 feet LOA, it captures the brand's signature "safety, seaworthiness, and simplicity," featuring a cutter rig, full keel for rock-solid stability, and solid fiberglass construction ideal for couples or small families on coastal voyages, ICW runs, or trade wind passages. Its moderate beam (11.92 feet) and raised coachroof offer impressive interior volume—sleeping up to 6—with a shoal draft enabling shallow-water havens like the Abacos. As a "pocket explorer," it's a refined evolution of the 35, prioritizing comfort and durability (encapsulated lead ballast, no hull core) over outright speed, earning acclaim for its forgiving nature and liveaboard potential.
