Interior

The Island Packet 465 has a spacious main salon with 7' 3" headroom, an impressive nav station, a large galley, two heads, and two spacious cabins. The joinery is teak, and the cabin sole is teak and holly. The vessel has stainless steel ports with screens and opening deck hatches.

The salon has two full-length settees, and a large table folds up against a bulkhead shelf. The port settee pulls out to make a double berth, and both settees can be used as sea berths with the lee cloths. 

Adjacent to the companionway is the navigation station, which features a high-backed swivel armchair, an IPY inlaid chart table, a storage tray, and cabinetry space. A wet locker and chart storage compartment are within arm’s reach.

Two spacious cabins and abundant storage make the 465 as well suited for coastal harbor hopping as for living aboard or world cruising. The aft owner’s cabin includes a double island berth, plenty of storage, and access to the aft storage garage. Forward is a spacious guest cabin with a double island berth and storage. The ends of both berths lift to allow access to storage areas beneath the berths.

Both heads feature vanities with solid acrylic countertops, separate shower stalls with folding acrylic doors, and VacuFlush® heads.
