(Part 2 of 2) Fifty-Foot DREAM Family Cruiser to Go ANYWHERE Safely [Short Tour]
Island Packet Center Cockpit Cruiser Tour and Review
Welcome to the second part of our series featuring a rare 50-foot Island Packet Center Cockpit Cruiser. This unique vessel offers not only exceptional sailing capabilities but also provides an unmatched living experience onboard, making it ideal for those who desire a comfortable and luxurious liveaboard adventure.
The Rare Center Cockpit Design
One of the most distinguishing features of this Island Packet Cruiser is its Center cockpit design. This layout allows for an expansive deck area, combined with a full-beam cabin below deck. For a boat of this size, such a configuration ensures an unmatched level of comfort and space, making it perfect for both relaxing or navigating through various marine conditions.
Spatial Efficiency in Design
Despite its generous deck size, the Island Packet Center Cockpit Cruiser also offers a thoughtful layout below decks. With three cabins and two heads, this vessel caters to those who require ample sleeping and bathroom space during their voyages.
Additionally, there’s a forward-facing nav station, a beautifully equipped Galley, and a Main Salon that adds to the living experience. The double Island berth in the full beam aft cabin is another notable feature; its thwart ships orientation ensuring that all occupants enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep no matter which side of the vessel they are on.
The presence of an ensuite head within this cabin elevates the overall luxuriousness and convenience, offering privacy and comfort when needed.
The Unique Build of This Vessel
It is crucial to note that Island Packet no longer builds Center cockpit yachts. With this particular model being unique in its category, prospective buyers or liveaboard enthusiasts should take this opportunity seriously.
This 50-foot marvel combines practicality with a luxurious experience. From the well-thought-out layout to the advanced sailing capabilities, it promises an unforgettable journey across any body of water. Its versatility is further emphasized by its ability to be both a comfortable liveaboard and a reliable sailing companion for long-distance trips.
