Can someone tell me how a packet yacht island between 27'-32 'held in veil of blue water ocean? I want to buy a yacht that I can count on the sail from Galveston, TX British Virgin Islands and even the Mediterranean.
Me think the island would be a bundle doing a great job safely take you where you want to go, of course, the boat must be in excellent conditon and skipper / crew well known. Package island is a large vessel built, but a little heavy and not designed for speed or pointing. Good luck and have fun!
A footer 27 of the cruise? Ouch, my stomach is not so strong. A footer 32 is the minimum I'd go for a cruise with the blue water of a considerable distance.
Island Packages are built like tanks. The compromise is that they are not particularly fast boats, but they hold well.
If you buy used - so whether the boat can hold up or not will depend on what the surveyor-certified boat has to say about his condition
