The Island Packet 45 is a quintessential example of Bob Johnson’s "Full Foil Keel" design philosophy, representing a bridge between the classic heavydisplacement cruisers of the early 1990s and the more modernized configurations that followed. Built between 1996 and 2000, with approximately 42 hulls produced, the 45 was the immediate successor to the Island Packet 44. While the two models share an identical hull mold, the 45 introduced significant refinements to the interior styling, ventilation, and ergonomics that Murray Yacht Sales notes were designed to appeal to a market seeking a brighter, more contemporary living experience. As a traditional aftcockpit cutter, it remains a highly soughtafter vessel for longdistance cruising, particularly for couples who value stability and safety over raw speed.
