Just recently discovering sailing vessels - from Beneteau, Jeanneau, Amel and more, but I have to say this Island Packet is so well designed! What a wonderful use of space - beautiful and so artfully functional! And, really enjoy your tours BTW.
This owner is qualified in ships in all regards. Well done Captain, I so wish this was 2023. Arrrrgh. I hope trident never looses the tip of the spear.
Nice video, thanks Ian. I realize a lot of people think Island Packets are a stodgy design, but I have always admired them. Even the traditional IP cream color Appeals to me. We have chartered an IP 37’ four times with Island Yachts down in St. Thomas and have enjoyed our trips. Nice safe, comfortable sailing motion, shallow draft, solar panels and flexible sail plans. Only thing I don’t like is the boarding platform/ladder. Your boat is a beauty. Well everything, except that ratty looking Hoyt boom.
Mmmm yea Ian.... it absolutely kills me that there is your Phone #... wow! Thanks so much for this one. ~~ you should have a "follow up" category for you "offerings." ~~ Something like "Time to SALE from posting the boat." ~~. This one was probably SOLD in 15 minutes.... ~~~ A Record Breaker ! I'll tell ya.
Wow! ~ I drop in from New Hampshire. This is a win the lottery dream for me. Sure. I'd move to California. Then ~ where ever. Whew! @@1corinthians15.1-4kjv
The issue becomes why would i spend 480k US for this boat when i can buy a condomaran of the same year that offers more than twice the hull speed; has a galley and living room with a view, more outdoor living space; and doest pitch and roll as much at anchor…..
It is something to note, that you do not tolerate critique at all and censor comments, and that even though most of my comments has been positive. Overall a nice boat, but priced on par with Amel 54, which it does not compare with at all. I guess, that is also, why it is still for sale, three years after this video aired! It is nice, but so old-fashion to look at. Like a time warp from the 1980s at a 2020s price, unfortunately.
That's what I did and could not be happier 🙂 the only thing is people think I'm super wealthy...lol until they see or figure out it's an old yacht..lol
@@michaelsmith9308 It's funny how that works. When we lived in Japan the three of us were living in 400 square feet. People though we were poor, but we were saving $12K per month.
What? What’s that? You want to give me this boat?! I couldn’t, it’s too much, you don’t even know me! ... Well, if you INSIST it would be rude of me to refuse. Oh, all right. I’ll take it. But only if it makes you happy.
lol. what's that Lisa? you insist on sharing it with me? oh, well....okayyyy. it's against my better judgement, but if it serves to assuage your troubled brow...hehe
Because prices can change and all the info is on the yacht world listing. Nobody wants to run around and change multiple listings for a single vessel every time something changes. If you can’t be bothered to click the link provided to see the price, you don’t really need to know.
If I were the seller of this awesome Island Packet, I would have made you pull this vid off of youtube. Would have requested a new one with a slower delivery, better choice of wording and clearer annunciation. Great listenings need great representation and presentation.
Iam impressed about this boat. Absolutely quality and a beautiful design. Perfect for a couple. Thanks for the quick tour.

Goede boot om een paar jaar de wereld te verkennen. Degelijk gebouwd en goed voorzien van apparatuur.
I have been on a few Island Packet boats. They are solid and a true bluewater cruiser.
Pulling the trigger on any Island Packet is always good. Always.
This owner is qualified in ships in all regards. Well done Captain, I so wish this was 2023. Arrrrgh. I hope trident never looses the tip of the spear.
You find and show some of the best boats ever. Just another one I love.

Monohulls and centrally located cockpits are a rather fortunate combination.
Always great to see your boats. Hope I can get one some day.
Your tours are the best on youtube Ian.
@aquaholic is best
@@WelshVilliageDad True enough. Ian is definitely in the same league. Quick educated tours. Take good care Darren.
First time on you tube? This guy's whole Cali attitude is abrasive!
@@jayfigg7981 That's funny. So true. His haircut and stinky bracelets....lol But he is one of the best. so he gets a pass.
A clean well maintained looking yacht.
I would LOVE to own a Island Packet. Great Boat.
What great center cockpit cruising sailboat ⛵️! Mike from Missouri
Thanks for the review, a wide-angle lens would present a good perspective of the boat.
You kept using the word 'remarkable', so I felt obliged to leave my remark. Lol. Beautiful boat! I've rewatched this video dozens of times.
Really nice thorough review, thank you
Great blue water cruising sailboat ⛵️! Mike from Missouri

Stunning. Absolutely Love it

Dude - drop the phrase centrally located.
Great boat!!!

Three years old video and the boat still not sold.
Wow! ~ I drop in from New Hampshire. This is a win the lottery dream for me. Sure. I'd move to California. Then ~ where ever. Whew! @@1corinthians15.1-4kjv
Why, even though the presenters always say "lots of storage everywhere", are there always cluttered cabins??? Just asking
Beautiful beautiful boat. One of the nicest yachts I’ve seen. Only one issue. Thats the most poorly designed and useless cockpit.
The issue becomes why would i spend 480k US for this boat when i can buy a condomaran of the same year that offers more than twice the hull speed; has a galley and living room with a view, more outdoor living space; and doest pitch and roll as much at anchor…..
shes a nice one.
Ian, please note the number of times you say "again".
How about "uh"? You can't even count them.
Price ????? Great Deal !! How Much ???

Thanks Ian always enjoy your presentation’s.... Thanks
why da fak isnt the price listed
What is the price? Where is it located... I'm very interested

The only thing that’s a real negative that I can see is the way you have to crawl into the cockpit. Otherwise it’s a sweet boat.

MISSING AN IMPORTANT LINK TO THE DETAILS OF THE BOAT, THE ADDITIONAL PICTURES AND THE PRICE.
it had to upload but here it is www.yachtworld.com/boats/2007/island-packet-485-3695917/
Could you say "again" again?
Subscribed. I think it’s time to sell my house, Ian.
That's what I did and could not be happier 🙂 the only thing is people think I'm super wealthy...lol until they see or figure out it's an old yacht..lol

EVERYBODY DETESTS listings/ ads with no price. You KNOW it's a scam and OVER-priced.
I want it
Why do people always make these videos and never mention the price ? It's so annoying
I hear yu…..

If you have to ask, you can't afford it?
Prices is too big fore this boat
Would never purchase another boat with vacu-flush system. Too expensive to maintain.
You always need room for head.
If I were the seller of this awesome Island Packet, I would have made you pull this vid off of youtube. Would have requested a new one with a slower delivery, better choice of wording and clearer annunciation. Great listenings need great representation and presentation.
You dont have a CLUE what you're talking about. Now be quiet and go back in your corner!
american panzer :)
Not as impressive as other boats in the same price range.
