1995 Island Packet 40

The 1995 Island Packet 40 Dream Flower is a classic bluewater cruiser that has been thoughtfully upgraded by her current owners. Designed by Robert K. Johnson and built by Traditional Watercraft in Florida, the IP 40 is known for its solid fiberglass construction, full keel stability, and comfortable cutter rig—making her an ideal choice for passagemaking or extended coastal cruising.

This vessel has benefited from numerous recent improvements, including new standing rigging (2025), a lithium battery bank with a Victron management system (2024), an upgraded Balmar high-output alternator, inverter/charger, two new air conditioning units, and fresh bottom paint. Electronics have been modernized with a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter, radar, autopilot, and even a new Starlink for connectivity offshore.

Below deck, Dream Flower offers a warm and inviting interior finished in teak with a teak-and-holly sole. Two private staterooms and two heads provide comfortable accommodations, while the salon’s L-shaped settee and fold-down table create a spacious gathering area. Excellent natural light and ventilation flow through 13 stainless steel ports, 7 deck hatches, and multiple dorades. The wrap-around galley features a new Force10 stove/oven, Adler Barbour refrigeration, and ample storage for extended voyages.

On deck, the spacious cockpit is designed for both comfort and safety, with long contoured seating, a folding table, a bimini and enclosure, and a well-protected helm.

Dream Flower is in a slip at Charleston Harbor Marina and Resort in Mount Pleasant, SC.
