1997 Island Packet 37

This 1997 Island Packet 37 is a full-keel cutter designed for serious offshore capability combined with comfortable cruising. The fiberglass hull and robust construction deliver the stability and sea-kindly motion that inspires confidence in challenging conditions. Powered by a single 39-horsepower Yanmar diesel, she cruises at 7 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots, while her cutter rig and protected center cockpit make single-handed sailing practical in varying weather.

The interior features a warm teak cabin with two staterooms and one head. Below decks, the layout prioritizes both space and functionality, with a deep galley, abundant storage, and comfortable sea berths suited to extended cruising. The fully enclosed center cockpit provides dry protection at the helm—a valuable asset for Pacific Northwest conditions.

At 38 feet overall with a 12-foot beam, this Island Packet combines the offshore pedigree the builder is known for with thoughtful interior livability. The boat is ready for coastal exploration, whether weekend passages or extended cruising.
