Island Packet 440 - Layout

The Island Packet 440 embodies the hallmarks of every Island Packet yacht: superior comfort, ease of handling, proven seakeeping, and exceptional safety. Add in her timeless good looks, and you have a world-class cruiser that will turn heads in any harbor. Designed for long-distance passagemaking, the 440 is equally at home on a global circumnavigation or coastal cruising.

Her interior layout is ideal for a cruising couple who want space for family or guests—or for a liveaboard lifestyle.

Upon entering, the galley is located to starboard and is both an efficient space and safe space in which to work.

The day head/guest head is located to port of the companionway and the guest quarters are aft to port.

Facing settees in the main salon provide comfortable lounging and dining areas, thanks to Island Packet's signature bulkhead mounted table. Additionally, the starboard settee pulls out to make an additional double berth, when needed.

Perhaps the most identifying feature in the 440 is the huge nav station that is starboard and just forward of the galley. It is a designated area for both navigational equipment and your electrical panels. It again, is a safe place and well supported with a good backrest.

Both cabins feature true island berth, allowing easy access from either side and two heads with separate stall showers.

Stainless steel ports, protected rudder and prop, inorganically cored decks, solid glass hull, and countless thoughtful touches throughout the boat reflect Island Packet’s dedication to quality and durability, both inside and out.

Second Wind - Owner's Comments

Second Wind’s interior is warm and inviting. Thirteen opening ports and screens w/ eight hatches with OceanAir screens & shades provide abundant light and air flow. You'll admire the beautiful furniture quality satin gloss varnish applied to the select teak hardwood veneers on the bulkheads and all cabinetries. As you descend the companionway ladder, you will see the open salon with full length settees on both sides covered in beautiful Ultraleather. The starboard settee extends toward the centerline to make a comfortable double berth and both settees can double as sea berths. A cedar lined hanging locker is outboard with a shelf above. The dining table is Island Packet's signature fold-up bulkhead-mounted table. When deployed it will accommodate a large group and then conveniently stores away when not in use. All switches have been changed to accommodate LED lights. All overhead lights are LED. All fire extinguishers have been updated and are in compliance with coast guard requirements.

There is a very nice large forward-facing navigation center with seating for two, satin chart table, storage tray, generous nav/electronics panel with master AC/DC electrical panels. The comfortable wide bench seat has removable panels beneath revealing the dedicated generator compartment. This nav center will also fold up and lock in place if needed.

The forward owner's stateroom spans the beam of the yacht and includes a generous offset island berth with access on both sides, so you don't have to disturb your partner when getting out of bed. The berth is hinged and can be raised on gas support struts to reveal ample storage. There is a cedar-lined hanging locker and teak bureau. A nice dressing seat to port adds a final touch. The master also has Samsung TV with Mast mounted GloMax antenna. A luxurious private head is located adjacent to the stateroom and features a large stall shower with folding acrylic doors, Vacuflush toilet, vanity w/ acrylic countertop and molded sink. Mirrored storage cabinets and large drawers finish this impressive head.

The aft guest stateroom also features a large offset double island berth, a roomy cedar-lined hanging locker with extra height rods outboard, and an array of cabinets, bins, and shelves. As in the owner's stateroom, the berth top hinges on gas struts to reveal lots of storage beneath.

The aft head is just as nice as the forward with the same acrylic countertops, separate shower stall with seat and folding acrylic doors, and VacuFlush toilet. A door is conveniently located near the companionway in the main salon plus an additional door for private access from the stateroom.

The roomy cockpit is safe and comfortable with brand newer Bimini/dodger. The large swim platform features twin molded-in steps to port and starboard, a hot/cold shower and a fold-out swim ladder. Full length, ergonomically shaped cockpit seats w/ full cushions, dual deep seat lockers, line storage bins, extra wide coamings with numerous storage bins, four harness pad eyes, two 2' cockpit scuppers, engine panel adjacent to helm in covered alcove.

Boat is equipped with direct flush system. Allows you to flush directly below when offshore traveling without having to use macerator and pumping system.

Large anchor locker with overhead deck hatch and large, divided rode bins with lots of hooks for lines/fenders/gear. Shelf helps direct chain and rode aft. Welded S/S mast rails. Double lifelines with S/S bow and stern rails, S/S dorade style vents with guards.
