Antares is a 2001 Island Packet 380. These boats are nothing short of legendary in the world of bluewater cruising. Built with the rugged strength, thoughtful design, and seaworthy engineering that Island Packet Yachts is renowned for, this 38-foot cutter-rigged cruiser is one of the most capable and comfortable vessels in her class ā tailor-made for serious offshore adventures and extended liveaboard life.
From the moment you step aboard, the quality and craftsmanship are immediately apparent. The solid fiberglass hull, protected full keel with fully encapsulated ballast, and skeg-hung rudder speak volumes about this boatās ocean-going pedigree. The hull-to-deck joint is solidly bonded and mechanically fastened ā built not just to withstand the elements, but to thrive in them. Whether crossing oceans or exploring remote coastlines, the Island Packet 380 inspires confidence with every nautical mile.
Equipped with a powerful yet manageable cutter rig, the IP380 offers an incredibly versatile sail plan ideal for all wind conditions. With roller furling on both the genoa and staysail, reefing is safe and easy from the cockpit ā a critical feature for shorthanded sailing. Her long waterline and moderate displacement provide a smooth, sea-kindly motion offshore, while her deep bilges and balanced weight distribution contribute to impressive stability in heavy weather. Despite her traditional full keel design, the 380 sails efficiently and tracks beautifully. Her performance in light air is admirable for a cruising boat of her class, and when the wind builds, she feels rock-solid and composed, cutting through waves with minimal pounding or hobby-horsing.
Down below, Antares is a true sanctuary. Designed with liveaboards and long-distance cruisers in mind, the layout is spacious, intelligently organized, and finished in beautifully hand-crafted teak. High-quality joinery, solid wood doors, and durable materials throughout create an interior that is both elegant and enduring. She features a large forward ownerās stateroom with a centerline berth, ample storage, and an en suite entrance to the roomy head with a separate shower stall ā a luxury rarely seen in vessels under 40 feet. The aft cabin is equally inviting, offering a generous berth and excellent ventilation.
The U-shaped galley is a cookās dream, with expansive counter space, deep double sinks, a large refrigerator/freezer, and a gimbaled stove/oven ā built to perform underway as well as at anchor. The saloon, with its fold-down teak table and settees that double as sea berths, transforms effortlessly from a social space into a secure sleeping area. Ample hatches and opening ports bathe the interior in natural light and provide excellent airflow, enhancing comfort in warmer climates.
With large tank capacities, abundant storage throughout, and systems engineered for self-sufficiency, the Island Packet 380 is made to go the distance. Engine access is excellent, wiring is clean and labeled, and the electrical system is robust ā all hallmarks of a vessel designed with real-world cruising in mind. Owners around the world consistently report exceptional reliability and ease of maintenance. This is a boat that doesnāt just survive offshore; it thrives, handling challenging conditions with calm resilience and inspiring peace of mind.
Whether youāre a seasoned cruiser seeking a capable circumnavigator, or a couple dreaming of extended coastal or offshore adventures, this 2001 Island Packet 380 delivers in every way. Sheās not just a sailboat ā sheās a home, a passage-maker, and a trustworthy companion on the open sea. Timeless, rugged, and beautifully built, Antares will not disappoint.
Her owners have kept her in the United States Virgin Islands for the past four years, enjoying island cruising and sharing the experience with family and friends. They would love to see her go to a good home ā and hopefully make someone elseās dream come true.
