  This Island Packet 350 is a safe, comfortable, and luxurious yacht designed to sail oceans as well as the challenging waters of Lake Michigan where she has sailed since being purchased by her original owner who still owns her. This is a rare opportunity to buy a boat that is exceptionally well built and set up. Ready to go. ALL of the extras, no need to go spend more money at West Marine, just get out your charts and go.

There are stern seats on each corner, and all of the electronics are conveniently mounted on view. Custom fitted cushions for all of the seats. A great full transom for safety and easy boarding from a dock or dinghy, and a full length swim ladder for fun and safety. Strong padeyes mounted everywhere you need one for attachment of your safety harness.

The console mounted steering features Island Packet's trademark premium rack and pinion geared design, providing a combination of reliability, strength, and sensitivity unmatched by any other wheel steering installation. A steering wheel brake and single lever engine control are also provided on the console with room for owner - dealer installed instruments, and the engine panel is equipped with full analog gauges for all readouts. Cockpit convenience features abound with standard details such as a built-in insulated cooler, two large seat lockers, a hand held personal shower (cold only) that easily reaches the stern platform, two stern rail seats, and a pedestal mounted folding table inlaid with the Island Packet logo..
