(SOLD) 1983 Island Packet 26 MKII

Price just reduced from $15,900 to $12,900!  Seller wants to see "Miranda" be the next Island Packet 26 sold!

One of the vessels which made Island Packet Yachts famous was the classic Island Packet 26, where it all began.  They became known for building stout craft with traditional lines and styling, large amounts of living space relative to the size of the vessel, and a comfortable cruising platform as well, on the forefront of what most all of the new designs are offering today.

"Miranda" is hull #46 in the build series and she is a MKII model.  Her current owners have had  many recent system improvements and upgrades during their ownership with the boat - engine rebuilt, recent bottom work with fresh barrier coats and bottom paint, and a new Harken roller furler for the headsail to name a few.  Please be sure to click on the full specs tab for all of the details on this fine Island Packet 26 MKII!
