NEW TO THE MARKET!
Grateful Parrot is one of the finest examples on the market of the flagship from Island Packet. This 485 has undergone a full professional refit with over £250,000 spent on her from Autumn 2022 until Autumn 2023. She has a fantastic specification with 3 cabins, 3 double berths and 2 single berths she can comfortably sleep 8. Furthermore, she has undergone extensive upgrades and renewals and she is only up for sale due to the current owner's change in lifestyle. Freshly antifouled and polished and with all of the recent upgrades and fantastic specification, Grateful Parrot is a boat to get excited about.
Although a 2002 model she was commissioned in 2003/4.
A cutter rig, she has in mast furling Kemp main, a roller reefing genoa, a self-tacking staysail and a spinnaker. Coupled with this, as a CE category A – Ocean yacht, with a 1.6m draught Full Foil Keel she is a great ocean-going yacht with the ability to explore coastal waters.
