Island Packet 380 Amara

1999 Island Packet 380 - Bluewater Cruiser Ready for Adventure

This well-maintained 1999 Island Packet 380 embodies the legendary quality and seaworthy design that made Island Packet one of the most respected names in cruising sailboats. Built in Largo, Florida, this full-keel cutter is engineered for serious offshore passages while providing the comfort and livability of a much larger vessel.

Hull & Construction The IP 380 features Island Packet's signature hand-laid fiberglass construction with a full-length keel and skeg-mounted rudder for superior tracking and protection. The hull-to-deck joint is through-bolted and glassed over for exceptional strength. Her moderate beam of 12'9" and generous freeboard provide stability and interior volume without compromising performance.

Accommodations Below decks, you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout that sleeps six comfortably. The spacious salon features a convertible dinette to starboard and settee to port, both with excellent natural lighting from hull ports and deck hatches. The forward stateroom offers a proper island berth, while the aft cabin provides privacy and its own head access. Rich teak joinery throughout creates a warm, traditional atmosphere.

Galley & Systems The well-equipped galley includes a three-burner stove with oven, top-loading refrigeration, and generous counter space. Ample storage lockers and dedicated wet locker make extended cruising practical. Dual water tanks and holding tank capacity support comfortable live-aboard use.

Deck & Rig The all furling cutter rig features a furling genoa and staysail for easy shorthanded sailing as well as in-mast furling mainsail. Deck layout emphasizes safety with wide side decks, through-bolted stanchions, and double lifelines. The cockpit is protected and comfortable with good visibility from the helm. Teak overlay on side decks and cockpit sole add classic appeal.

This Island Packet 380 represents an excellent opportunity to own a proven offshore cruiser with a reputation for taking care of its crew in all conditions. Island Packets are known for holding their value exceptionally well, and this vessel shows the quality construction and attention to detail that made the brand famous among serious cruisers.

If you’re looking for a yacht that blends true bluewater capability with warm, inviting comfort, the Island Packet 380 delivers in every way. Built in 1999 during Island Packet’s golden era, she’s designed to cross oceans, explore distant shores, and still feel like home.
