The Island Packet 29, produced between 1991 and 1997, represents a pivotal evolution in Bob Johnson’s quest to engineer a compact cruiser that sacrifices neither the safety of a bluewater vessel nor the amenities of a coastal liveaboard. Positioned as the successor to the successful Island Packet 27, the 29-footer was designed to feel significantly larger than its waterline suggests. This "big-boat" feel is achieved through a combination of a generous 10' 10" beam and the builder's signature high-volume hull form. During its production run, Island Packet solidified its reputation for heavy-duty construction, employing a solid fiberglass hull and the proprietary "Full Foil Keel," which remains a hallmark of the Island Packet Yachts design philosophy.
