Build Quality


The 420 is one of the most desirable and best built yachts Island Packet has ever offered. The hull incorporates a host of design elements that improve a concept that emphasizes seakeeping, safety, stability, and speed.

The bow and stern configurations combine to increase boat speed through a longer sailing waterline and reduced resistance in waves, while refinements to the keel and rudder foil sections benefit upwind performance, reduce drag, and enhance steering.

The hull continues to be molded as a one-piece (integral hull and keel) solid tri-axial fiberglass structure, utilizing Island Packet's pressure-fed resin impregnation system, PolyClad 2 gel below the waterline, and DuraShield gel on the topsides.

The 420 deck design offers all the key features long appreciated by Island Packet owners: recessed foredeck with bulwarks, anchor platform with two rollers (the exclusive SeaSafe patented design), full-length stainless steel cabin top handrails, beautifully molded detail for hardware, an improved dodger - windshield mount, and Dorade vents with stainless steel cowls and welded guards.

The boat's chain plates are fixed to the hull with a system of double welds, embedded in fiberglass and reinforced with uni-directional glass and bi-axial glass run fan-like well down into the hull. It's a proven, time-tested Island Packet system, using annealed, corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel alloy.

Engine mounts, mast step (on the keel), 12-volt wiring system, and steering systems show the same attention to detail as the hull-deck joint and chain-plate systems.

 Accommodations

An innovative blend of liveaboard comfort and practical cruising features is evidenced throughout the IP-420, delivering the best accommodations of any yacht in its size range.

Starting forward is a large anchor locker with interior access through a tall door in the forward head. This locker has custom shelves for fender storage and a separate compartment for spare dock line storage.

The forward head features a separate shower stall with acrylic door, a stainless steel sink with vanity, marine toilet rebuilt 2023, several lockers and drawers, plus excellent ventilation with an overhead hatch, two opening portlights.

The forward owner's suite is a true delight with the entire beam of the yacht utilized for a grand and inviting retreat. The large island berth is offset from the hull providing easy access from both sides. A dressing seat is to port. Drawers, cabinets, storage bins and a deep hanging locker provide ample storage.  

Next aft is the main salon featuring Island Packet's signature bulkhead mounted fold-up table. The settee cushions are covered in Toast Ultra leather, with custom lee cloths stowed beneath the port and starboard cushions. The starboard settee pulls out to provide a double berth.

Next aft to starboard is the navigation station with an electrically powered swing-out seat and large hinged chart table.

The galley, immediately to the starboard side of the companionway, features double S/S sinks, a 3-burner propane stove with oven, microwave, generous wrap around counter space, and a large refrigerator and freezer.

To port is the aft head with entry from the salon or aft cabin, shower with wrap-around curtain, stainless steel sink with vanity, marine toilet rebuilt 2023, cupboards, and mirror.  

The aft cabin features a large berth, large cedar-lined locker, numerous drawers, and USB outlets.

All hatches have custom Glebe Creek teak-framed insect screens. 

Cockpit

The cockpit has full-length contoured seats that accommodate a large crew or invite stretching out. A folding teak cockpit table, with teak drink holder, provides a comfortable place for outdoor dining, and stows out of the way when not needed.


The helmsperson will enjoy excellent visibility. The console mounted steering features Island Packet’s trademark rack and pinion geared design, providing a combination of control, reliability, and strength unmatched by any other wheel steering design. The steering wheel is covered in leather for enhancement of the grip and better control, and the single lever engine control lever is right on the pedestal. The engine panel itself is within easy reach of the helm and features full analog gauges for all readouts.


Cockpit convenience features abound with standard details such as built-in insulated beverage locker, two large seat lockers with gas support struts with easy access, a handheld cold water shower that easily reaches the stern swim step, deep swim ladder with rubber treads and two stern rail seats.
