2005 Island Packet 485

The Island Packet 485 is a 51-foot fiberglass sailing cutter designed for extended offshore cruising. Built on a full-keel hull form, the boat features a cutter rig with in-mast furling and electric winches. Power comes from a single 110-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The design reflects Island Packet's approach to bluewater sailing: a sea-kindly hull with robust construction intended for passage-making and comfortable ocean voyaging.

The interior accommodates three cabins and two heads arranged across a spacious layout. The boat is set up for self-sufficient cruising with a watermaker, generator, solar power, and dual-voltage electrical systems throughout. A 2025 Raymarine electronics package supports navigation and onboard systems management.

The boat has been actively cruised and maintained with documented service records. Recent refits and system upgrades have been completed, with attention paid to the mechanical and electrical infrastructure necessary for long-distance voyaging.
