Description

Island Packet 485 “Sweet Dream”

Turnkey Bluewater Cutter Rig • Proven Circumnavigator

Built on the legendary Island Packet bluewater pedigree, Sweet Dream is the kind of cutter-rig cruiser serious sailors wait for — a proven, exceptionally well-equipped bluewater passagemaker with the capability, comfort, and systems to depart today and cruise anywhere.

Meticulously maintained, thoughtfully upgraded, and recently refitted, she is truly turnkey and ready for immediate cruising. From her robust full-keel construction and sea-kindly motion to her spacious, light-filled interior and well-engineered systems, Sweet Dream reflects everything Island Packet is known for: safety, strength, and exceptional livability.

Ocean-ready and well-proven, Sweet Dream has been actively cruised and carefully cared for by experienced owners and is now ready for her next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality Island Packet 485 with true offshore pedigree — a yacht equally suited for extended passagemaking, comfortable liveaboard life, or serious bluewater adventure.
