Description
Solace is a turn-key 1988 Island Packet 38 cruising sailboat, combining quality, proven capability, and modern upgrades at an unbeatable price.This fully-equipped, amazingly maintained, third owner vessel is ready for its next adventure, featuring recent major upgrades such as a repowered Yanmar engine (2008) with only 1350 hours, new chainplates, new solar panels, lithium batteries, a 30 GPH water maker and a fresh bottom job, to name only a few.Island Packets are renowned for their cruising-proven, strong, and safe offshore capability. The 38-foot model features a deep ballast ratio for stability, and an inner fore stay for a storm jib which makes offshore trips that much safer. Yet, this model is equally well-suited for sailing the ICW, offering a manageable 5-foot draft, and 51ft bridge clearance. You don’t want to miss out on this one, come see her today!HighlightsNew chainplates (2024)Lithium batteriesNew Raymarine instruments in the cockpit and new Raymarine chartplotter at the nav station (2024) New Bimini/Dodger (2023)New bottom paint (Nov 2025)Buff and wax (2025)1200 watts of solar with victron controllers (2022)3,000 Watt Victron inverter (2021)Cooling/Heat throughout the boatElectric windlass with handheld remoteTender (9ft Caribe) and Outboard (9.9.
