Whether you’re planning extended blue water passages, living aboard full-time, or enjoying casual day sails, SOLITUDE is up to the task. She’s been very well maintained, with many systems recently upgraded or serviced to “like new” condition.

Accommodations:
The Island Packet 380’s interior combines a feeling of spaciousness with storage capacity well suited for offshore voyaging. Headroom is 6’5”, and the beam is more than 13’.
The forward cabin features an island double berth, with shelving. Storage is under the flip-up bed and two drawers below. Three cabinets to starboard and two to port round out the storage in the forward cabin.
The head is extremely spacious and features an articulating shower door that screens off half the head. The head is accessed via separate doors from the forward and main cabins.
The main cabin has opposite settees with a fold down table that can extend to the starboard seat. There’s a cabinet forward to starboard, plus shelving and cubbies above both settees. In the settee seats and backs there is abundant storage, including 2-level storage in the seat backs. A small navigation table and the electrical panel is at the aft end of the port settee.
The generous galley has voluminous top loading fridge/freezer and dry storage. There’s a double stainless sink and a flip-up table over the starboard settee. There’s dedicated storage for plates, utensils and pots and pans.
The aft cabin berth is angled to provide both excellent length and access. The cabin has three cubbies and a full sized three level locker. A hide-away pull-out sink makes this aft cabin truly special.
