The center cockpit Island Packet 445 is a beautifully spacious sailing vessel – perhaps the most spacious in her class. The deep center cockpit provides more than just a comfortable place for your crew to congregate. It provides a safe working area from which you can perform all the necessary adjustments underway. Handholds and support rails are strategically placed to maximize your safety on deck. As beautiful as the 445 is to behold, it’s even more appealing below decks. The expansive main saloon boasts more than seven feet of headroom, a well-appointed combination of hand crafted teak furnishings, cabinetry and storage, a nav station that would excite any world cruiser, a gourmet galley fit for a master chef and two of the most spacious staterooms you’ll find anywhere. There are three places to take a nice hot shower; two private heads (one adjacent to each stateroom) and one on the stern platform.

Entering via the comfortably angled companionway steps, your attention will be drawn to full-length settees port and starboard. The saloon table can be stowed against the forward bulkhead or folded out for entertaining. A wine rack behind the table is hidden when the table is stowed.
Large windows surround the saloon providing panoramic views. The port settee extends to the centerline to make a double berth, and a smaller, removable table is available with a lift-out post for mounting at either side of the saloon for occasional use. There is a washer/dryer unit in the large hanging locker forward. Throughout the interior of the 445 you’ll find overhead recessed lights and numerous, well-placed halogen reading lamps, all with dimmer switches.
Adjacent to the companionway is the deluxe navigation center. The 445 features a high-backed swivel armchair, an inlaid chart table with storage tray, cabinetry space sufficient to mount a wide variety of electronic equipment and access to the electrical panels for shipboard AC and DC equipment. There’s also a wet locker within arm’s reach. (This has been converted to a pantry).
The gourmet galley includes opening ports on either side to keep it light and airy. The top-loading refrigerator and freezer compartments, with digitally controlled cooling units, provide generous cold storage. A pull-out refrigerated drawer is also included for quick access to popular beverages and food. Also featured in the galley are built-in dish racks, cutlery drawers, deep double sinks, a slide out trash bin, a microwave oven and abundant cabinet and locker storage. Other enhancements include solid acrylic counter surfaces with integral sea rails, a Force 10® LPG range with broiler and a water purifying system serving all interior cold water sink taps.
Two sizable staterooms make the 445 perfect for living aboard or world cruising. The owner’s stateroom aft includes a double island berth. Hanging storage with extra height is provided by the outboard hanging locker.
Access to the aft lazarette storage area is available through the aft bulkhead. Forward is a guest stateroom with a large double island berth. All staterooms include numerous opening ports, large overhead hatches and deck vents, providing plenty of light and ventilation. Both berths are surrounded by an array of cabinets, lockers, drawers and shelves, and include a large panel that lifts
on gas support struts to reveal a blanket storage area.
Both heads feature vanities with solid acrylic countertops, separate shower stalls with folding acrylic doors and standard VacuFlush® heads.
