About the ISLAND PACKET 380
Draft for CB version: 3.92' BU, 7.58' BD.
Designed by Bob Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts (USA) from 1998–2004, the Island Packet 380 is a robust cruising cutter with 169 hulls produced. Its full/long keel and 21000.0 lb displacement provide exceptional stability and seakeeping, making it a favorite for serious offshore passagemaking.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for bluewater cruisers and coastal explorers who prioritize safety, comfort, and self-sufficiency over high-speed performance. The high frequency of davit (55 mentions) and watermaker (23 mentions) installations indicates owners typically equip these vessels for extended, independent offshore voyages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.91 and a comfort ratio of 30.6, the IP380 is highly capable offshore, supported by owner reports of extensive self-sufficiency upgrades like wind generators and solar panels.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 38 and the Tartan 3800, as they share similar full-keel designs, heavy displacement, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore cruising. Like the IP380, these vessels are chosen for their proven seakeeping abilities rather than racing credentials.
