The Island Packet 465 is a 48-foot heavy-displacement center-cockpit bluewater cutter designed by Bob Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts of Largo, Florida from 2007 through 2012. True to the Island Packet formula, the 465 combines a full keel with shoal 5-foot draft, a cutter rig with self-tacking staysail, and Island Packet's distinctive blend of sturdy construction, generous tankage, and livable interior volume. The center-cockpit layout provides a full-beam aft owner's stateroom with private head, making the 465 a popular choice for cruising couples planning extended offshore passages or Caribbean liveaboard life. Production ended in 2012 as the builder scaled back in response to the recession, and the 465 remains one of the most sought-after used Island Packets on the market.
