ISLAND PACKET 485

Since 1979, continuous development and refinement in design, materials technology and build quality have made Island Packet Yachts the international benchmark for excellence in cruising sailboats. Unmatched safety and seakeeping, together with a versatile and easily managed rig, exceptional comfort and livability, spirited sailing performance, superb craftsmanship and award-winning customer satisfaction have made Island Packet the first choice for the cruising lifestyle.

IP485 Our flagship, the award-winning 485, provides enormous living space, enough storage to hold gear for a circumnavigation, enough sail to speed you comfortably to your destination and the convenience of managing it all from the cockpit. From the broad anchor platform to the spacious stern boarding area, the 485’s deck abounds with features you will appreciate. The large aft deck is perfect for sunbathing, impromptu dining and is also large enough to accommodate up to a 10’ dinghy, which can be easily hoisted aboard with a clever optional boom extension system. Storage bins on either side of the aft deck hold LPG bottles and miscellaneous gear. A larger central hatch opens to a ladder leading into a huge storage lazarette. Uncluttered side decks, a recessed foredeck and plentiful cabin top handrails provide security on deck. Below, you’ll be immediately impressed by the panoramic view of the open main saloon, the spacious forward and aft cabins with private heads, the solid wood soles throughout, the gourmet galley, a multi-use third stateroom and a navigation center that rivals those on much larger yachts.

DESIGN: BOB JOHNSON, N.A. Specifications are approximate and subject to change without notice. Some optional equipment shown.

“D espite the fact this is a full-on cruiser, the numbers coming up on the readouts were still more than reasonable during our outing on Sydney Harbour. The 485 clocked eight knots in 14 knots true on a beam reach and five knots in nine knots true close-hauled, achieving close to 35-38˚ despite the light conditions.” CRUISING HELMSMAN MAGAZINE (AUSTRALIA)

Adjacent to the companionway, the nav station includes a high-backed swivel armchair, inlaid table with storage tray, cabinetry space sufficient to mount a wide variety of equipment you might select and the master electrical panels for ship-board AC and DC equipment. There’s also a hanging locker suitable for wet gear within reach. This area is so impressive that SAIL Magazine’s Best Boats judges made this comment: “Any offshore navigator would love to call this nerve center home. This is the best equipped nav station we saw this year.” In the main saloon the starboard settee converts to a double berth when fully extended and both settees double as comfortable sea berths. A large table stows against the forward bulkhead and deploys to create a spacious dining area. CE Category A – Ocean rated safety windows provide a panoramic view and overhead lights and numerous reading lamps with individual dimmers are found throughout. The gourmet galley is equipped with digitally controlled refrigerator and freezer compartments and double gasketed drop-front lids on gas support struts for easy access.

The third cabin is across from the forward head and is perfect for a multitude of uses. One can choose over/under style berths as a sleeping area or an L-shaped counter/desk with built-in cabinets underneath for an office, laundry, or workshop.
