1995 Island Packet 40

The Island Packet 40 is a well-designed and well-built sailboat that offers a comfortable and safe platform for long-term offshore cruising and long-term living aboard.

Sarantium was freshwater sailed for most of her life and then the existing owner has cruised extensively six months at a time over the last 13 years. Sarantium has been carefully maintained and continuously upgraded by her carpenter owner.

Recent survey with a very positive assessment: “The vessel is well constructed and impeccably maintained. The hull and deck gelcoat are in exceptional condition for the age of the vessel. The interior joinery is in excellent condition.”
