Bonavista 1

- NEW CHAINPLATES 2022 -
The 1990 Island Packet 38 'Bonavista 1' is a beautiful, well-equipped and well-maintained example of the popular Island Packet line of cruising yachts. She has received all the necessary upgrades to make her a true live-aboard long-range vessel, including: larger 54hp 4-cylinder Yanmar diesel (2006), wind generator, solar panel array, watermaker, SSB, AIS, furling mainsail, new rigging (2014), new chainplates 2023, and the list goes on!

Spending her early years in the Great Lakes, she had never tasted salt water until 2006, when she was bought by a couple looking to fulfill a dream that would take them up and down the Leeward & Windward island chain of the Caribbean, and so selected her for her excellent condition, low wear and tear, and superior strength and comfort so popular in the Island Packet line. Extensively outfitted for live-aboard cruising, she then completed the eastern Caribbean circuit and returned to Florida, where her next owner spared no expense in refitting her for single-handing to the Bahamas and back to Florida. That's where her current owners bought her in 2016, and found her well fit-out, well updated, and in very good condition.

Having enjoyed 5 fabulous problem free years here in BVI they are now ready to see her on to new custodians and themselves onto other adventures. She is ready to go anywhere now, loaded with spares, outfitted with all the comforts and conveniences and will make an excellent choice for any couple wanting to go cruising, right now, without limits!
