1992 44' Island Packet 44

With one of the most innovative and well appointed interiors to appear in a yacht in this size range, the 44's accommodations are focused on the requirements of both extended cruising and a comfortable lifestyle when living aboard. Two large double staterooms, well separated for privacy and each with its own head and shower, combine with an expansive central living area to provide a gracious setting for entertaining or cruising with family and friends.The forward stateroom has a double pullman berth to starboard, abundant storage on teak shelves, in stowage lockers, and in cedar-lined drawers. Also featured are a large cedar-lined hanging locker, a teak bureau with mirrored vanity and  upholstered seat. The adjoining private head with separate shower area has a wrap- around vanity with s/s sink, hot/cold pressure water, unbreakable mirror and plenty of storage.

The salon has two comfortable captain's chairs with a removeable table between. To starboard is a full-sized settee which converts to a double berth, as well as Island Packet's drop down dining table with bottle and glass storage behind. The nav station is at the aft end of the settee, featuring a wrap around work area , large chart table, chart storage tray, drawer, nav light, generous cabinets, master electrical panels, book rack, storage bin and stowage under the upholstered seat. Forward of the galley is a ventilated wet locker. The galley, next aft to starboard, has a refrigerator/freezer, 3-burner stove/oven, microwave oven, double s/s sinks with sink cover, aluminum propane tanks, deluxe dish rack and cutlery drawers as well as large storage drawers. A molded slip-resistant sole is provided in the galley, companionway, nav and head areas, while the salon and staterooms have varnished teak and holly soles.

The aft stateroom has a comfortable double berth, teak shelf outboard, stowage lockers, dressing seat, cedar-lined hanging locker, and bureau with shelf over, in addition to having luxurious accommodations similar to those in the forward head. Original equipment included a small tub which, in this boat, was modified by the addition of removable shelving providing additional storage space.
