Island Packet Craft Express 360 Cruiser Puddleduck

2004 Island Packet Craft Express 360 Cruiser

‘Puddleduck’ is a unique craft, being one of a smaller number of motorboats produced by the renowned sailboat and motorsailer builder Island Packet. This picnic boat style launch has the look of a Duchy or a Hinckley and the feel of a Nimbus. Puddleduck is thought to be the only one of these models in Europe. It is ideal for family days out on the water or extended cruising for a couple. The large open plan cockpit features two L-shaped seating areas with tables and a wet bar, perfect for family enjoyment. Below decks, there is ample space for cooking, dining, and sleeping, with a spacious heads compartment accessible from both the cabin and saloon areas. Viewings are welcome by appointment at Birdham Pool Marina, Chichester.
