- The purpose of this video is to give the viewer an in-depth look into the current condition of Stella J. The lack of editing is on purpose and its length is meant to show as much information as possible. Currently Stella J is in Barra de Navidad and for sale for 2,500,000 pesos. If you are interested, you can send a private message @ SV Stella J on messenger.
I know this boat! My boat partner and I made a nine-month sail from Blaine, WA to Portland, ME from 2021-2022. We had the pleasure of meeting and sailing off and on with James and Tanya on our way to Mexico. Whenever we were anchored nearby, we looked forward to our invitations to come aboard Stella J. Our 40’ cutter was basic and reliable, but felt like camping. Stella J felt more like a home away from home. James and Tanya were the most meticulous and punctilious cruisers we met throughout our entire trip. We admired their “spare no expense” approach to quality and safety when it came to Stella J. I realize that all good things must end, clearing the way for life’s next adventure. I hope the next owners show Stella J the same love as she continues to provide safe adventures and life-long memories.
Every adventure comes to an end at some point. I so enjoyed sailing with you two. Here's to the next adventure!
Hey James, I watched all the videos. Really really awesome endeavor you guys did. Congratulations. I live in Vancouver and have been to Blane. What a small world! Oh well, it has been a pleasure following you two. Fair winds to you both. Cheers, Fernando.
It’s sad our sailing days have ended but the journey still continues! Thank you for the positive comment, take care Fernando!
I own an 1989 IP 35 and can assure those interested that this boat is priced right, it will not last long. Sorry to see you two go, enjoyed your videos. SV Drifter
Thanks Drifter.
Life😊 Best of luck to you guys. Will miss you.
Hope you guys had a good trip! I've liked watching your boating videos
I've enjoyed your video's and got inspiration from many . She's a great boat, I wish my wooden flooring looked like yours! There is an owners group on farce book under the name of island packet yacht owners association which has a good audience. Best wishes for the next chapter in your lives......
What a beautiful Island Packet.
Sorry to hear you are selling 😢
Thank you so much. Its sad for sure but life is still beautiful😁 Stella J brought us to Mexico and we've found happiness down here. I will always be grateful for that.
😢 Trying to send a message and call, my contact seems blocked. I know not intended for our memories so dear remembering Todd, hammering down the coast and your unparalleled presence and friendships that you both provided to everyone in our marina. I’d love to reciprocate the favor and hoping that all is well and life is good❣️Please stay in touch my friends! H
WOW - I'm shocked- How much in dollars is 2,500,000? I know Stella J is in the best shape. I know how you care for equipment & your home here in Oregon. Your old yard misses you.
You know exactly how i am! I always leave things better that when I found them! I hate to sell Stella J, she is ready to go some more!

Stella J is a perfect example of a fully equipped, turnkey, blue water cruising vessel. Island Packet yachts have long been recognized for their quality of yacht building and comfortable live aboard vessels. For the last 3 years she has sailed the San Juan Islands in Washington and headed south to Mexico (TIP good till 2031). The owners have continuously and meticulously maintained her while adding the luxuries many seek in a liveaboard sailing yacht. Over the last 5 years she has had well over $100,000 in upgrades. Stella J is a constant head turner, and you will be hard pressed to find a finer example of a 1992 Island packet 38. If you’ve ever been on an Island Packet, you know how spacious they can be. With no lack of storage, the high freeboard and deep bilge makes this IP38 feel more roomy than most 40 footers.
The owners have documented their adventures with Stella J from the very beginning. Their TH-cam channel Sv Stella J will take you up close into this wonderful yacht and show you the love and care she has received in her recent years of sailing. Check out some of their more popular videos with first impressions, walkthroughs, maintenance, and more.
