The comfortable and protected cockpit

The Island Packet 465 offers exceptional livability and practical cruising features coupled with impeccable craftsmanship and handsome good looks.

The large center cockpit provides more than just a comfortable place for crew to congregate, it provides a safe working area from which you can perform all the necessary adjustments while underway and provides fantastic water visibility.

Wide side decks, strategically placed hand rails and recessed foredecks maximize your safety on deck.

As beautiful as the 465 is to behold, it’s even more appealing below decks.

The expansive main salon boasts more than seven feet of headroom, a well-appointed combination of hand-crafted teak furnishings, cabinetry and storage, a navigation station that would excite any world cruiser, a gourmet galley fit for a master chef and two of the most spacious staterooms you’ll find on any vessel in this size range.

Navigate in comfort and security

Entering via the comfortably angled companionway steps, your attention will be drawn to the open feel, the abundant natural light, and the full-length upholstered settees.

The port settee extends to the centerline to make a double berth, and both settees can be used as sea berths.

Looking aft from the salon

The large main dining table folds and stows against a bulkhead wine rack and can open to span the entire salon.

There is a smaller, removable table, which mounts on either side of the salon for added flexibility while dining or entertaining.
