Welcome aboard Carousel!
Carousel has been in the good care of knowledgeable, local owners for the past 12 years. Pride of ownership shows through out. She is a very clean and tidy ship above and below decks. This is an above-average example of the popular Island Packet 350.
Upon first boarding Carousel, you will find the size of the vessel very manageable by a crew of two, or even singlehanded. This is an ideal layout for a cruising couple with occasional guests. Two separate cabins offer privacy for two couples, plus additional sea berths in the main salon. In total, there are berths for seven adults. The large folding salon table, generous galley and spacious cockpit offer very comfortable space for entertaining guests, let alone enjoying the quiet times for yourselves.
Carousel is up to date on her maintenance and is ready for her new owners to step board and set off on new adventures. She is truly a turn-key boat, ready to cruise the PNW in comfort and safety. Take a closer look at her equipment details and you will find that Carousel’s inventory checks all the major boxes serious PNW cruisers come to expect. The original electronics are getting a bit dated, but still offer safe navigational aid. The sails are original, but still in good service. Below are the highlights of Carousel’s key features.
