1994 Island Packet 32 | Punta Gorda, FL

If you know Island Packets, you know they aren’t just boats—they’re tanks in a tuxedo. This 1994 IP 32 is a quintessential pocket cruiser, offering the internal volume of most 36-footers and the "go-anywhere" confidence of a full foil keel.

Currently tucked away in beautiful Punta Gorda, this vessel has been lovingly maintained and is ready to point its bow toward the Keys, the Bahamas, or just a sunset cruise in Charlotte Harbor.

Vessel Overview

The Island Packet 32 is celebrated for its Full Foil Keel, protected prop, and integral bowsprit. It’s a dry, stable ride that handles a blow with grace while keeping the crew comfortable in a way only Bob Johnson’s designs can.  

• Location: Punta Gorda, FL

• Engine: Yanmar 3GM30F (Freshwater cooled)  

• Draft: 4' 3" (Perfect for Florida & Bahamas thin water)  

• Beam: 11' 9"

Key Features & Highlights

• Exceptional Interior Volume: Features the classic IP layout with a massive double berth aft, a convertible salon, and a private forward cabin. It comfortably sleeps six.  

• Solid Construction: No core in the hull—just solid, hand-laid fiberglass. Peace of mind comes standard.

• Gourmet Galley: Wrap-around design with a deep refrigerator/freezer, 2-burner propane stove/oven, and plenty of teak cabinetry.

The "Everything" Rig: Outfitted with a cutter rig for versatility in all wind conditions. All lines lead to the cockpit for easy single-handing.
