Accomodations

Step below on "Songline" and you are immediately welcomed by the warmth of teak and holly sole underfoot and teak bulkheads and trim throughout — a hallmark of Island Packet's renowned craftsmanship. The main salon is the heart of the boat, offering comfortable settees on both sides with ample stowage below, a fold-down table perfect for passage meals or evening card games at anchor, and generous headroom that belies her 38-foot length.

The galley is positioned on the starboard side of the main salon, keeping the cook connected to the conversation. Equipped with a two-burner induction stove, Farberware microwave, Seaward 6-gallon hot water heater, and holding plate refrigeration, the galley is both functional and well-appointed for extended offshore passages.

The dedicated nav station sits adjacent to the companionway, providing the navigator with a commanding view of the instrumentation and easy access to the cockpit — exactly where you want it on a bluewater passage.

Songline sleeps comfortably in three private areas. The aft cabin offers a private retreat for the owner, while the forward V-berth provides a spacious guest cabin. The pilot berth in the main salon offers additional sleeping accommodations for crew or guests. Two Jabsco manual heads serve the boat, providing privacy and convenience for all aboard.
