The award‑winning SP Cruiser brings year‑round boating comfort, trawler‑like livability, confident motoring performance, simple and versatile sailing, and the legendary Island Packet quality and value. Among its many unique features are twin cockpits—one aft, perfect for that first cup of coffee, and one forward, an inviting gathering place while cruising or at anchor on a beautiful day. Large CE Category A – Ocean rated opening windows in the enclosed deckhouse deliver panoramic views, and the center windshield panel hinges upward to connect effortlessly with family and friends in the forward cockpit.

Control is easy and comfortable with dual swivel helm and companion chairs and a large console forward of the wheel for engine controls and instrumentation. An optional autopilot allows steering from virtually any location aboard via a wireless handheld control, while the forward chairs and L‑shaped settee surrounding the folding table create a delightful spot for meals or a friendly game of cards, whatever the weather outside.

A simplified, self‑tending roller‑furling sloop rig concentrates sail controls at an electric winch in the aft cockpit, and optional Stowinches can be added so both main and jib are trimmed with push‑button controls at the helm and aft cockpit. A newly designed hull form delivers increased hull speed and virtually level running under power, even at full throttle, and a large fuel tank affords extended range with moderate fuel consumption when the breeze fades—performance that can be further enhanced by setting sail to add speed or reduce fuel burn.

Exterior teak is limited to several small step surfaces to keep maintenance to a minimum, while the interior blends designer laminate surfaces with varnished, furniture‑quality hardwoods. The deckhouse sole is varnished hardwoods, staterooms are fitted with Berber‑style oatmeal‑color marine carpet, and the galley, nav/office, and head feature molded slip‑resistant surfaces. Accommodations below are especially spacious, with an owner’s stateroom forward offering a double island berth and two hanging lockers; just aft to starboard, a large head with separate stall shower provides private access from either side; and aft, a guest stateroom presents two single berths, a large hanging locker, and an array of storage cabinets. Whether exploring coastal waterways or embarking on extended passages, the SP Cruiser delivers all‑climate comfort with efficient, stable motoring and easily managed sailing.
