About the ISLAND PACKET 349
Updated version of the Estero. Also available with cutter rig.
The Island Packet 349, designed by Bob Johnson and built by Island Packet, is a modern iteration of the brand's renowned cruising line, with production records indicating builds in 2019. This model continues the legacy of the 34-foot series, offering a full/long keel design and a solent rig configuration tailored for stable, comfortable offshore passage making.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal and bluewater cruisers who prioritize stability, comfort, and ease of handling over high-speed performance. Its design appeals to couples or small families seeking a secure, low-maintenance vessel for extended voyages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 20000.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.85, and a full/long keel, the IP 349 demonstrates strong inherent stability and seaworthiness, making it highly capable for bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 342 and the Beneteo Oceanis 40.5, as they share similar displacement characteristics and a focus on offshore capability, though the IP 349 distinguishes itself with a full keel and lower sail area-to-displacement ratio for greater stability.
