Island Packet Yachts have long been known for their excellence and value. Island Packet began in 1979 with the vision of Naval Architect, Bob Johnson. He started off modestly, building a 27-footer, but he had big dreams. He built the company into an industry powerhouse, focused on superior quality and safety, as well as comfort and livability. The exclusive Full Foil Keel he developed has provided a benchmark of stability, seaworthiness, and performance.

 Under new ownership since January 2017,  the vision for the future is in full swing with the introduction of new Island Packet Yachts 349 and 439 Models. “Our goal is to provide innovation and customization that has never before been available at Island Packet” said Darrell Allen. That drive towards modernization has lead to the Island Packet Yachts 349 being named Cruising World’s 2019 Domestic Boat of the Year. The revolution has continued, with our 439 model winning Cruising World’s 2021 Best Full Size Cruiser of the Year.

We are no longer a production boat company. Our goal is not to build our boats to a price point, instead, we build the best boat possible at a great value. We do not build hundreds of boats each year. Our team of master craftsmen treats each yacht as a custom piece of art. As a result, the market is not flooded with used models, and Island Packet Yachts’ retains their value in a manner unrivaled by other brands. When you start with the highest quality components, those components wear well over time, and our owners are known for meticulous and diligent care of their boats.
