The Island Packet 27 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the American "pocket cruiser." Introduced in 1984 as a refinement of the earlier Island Packet 26, this model solidified Bob Johnson’s reputation for designing small yachts with big-boat aspirations. During its production run through 1992, the vessel became a benchmark for how much living space and seaworthiness could be engineered into a hull under 30 feet. With a length on deck of 26' 6" and a striking beam of 10' 6", the 27 feels significantly larger than its contemporaries, offering a level of stability and interior volume usually reserved for 32-footers.
