This well-equipped 2005 Island Packet 445 is designed for comfortable coastal cruising, extended passage-making, and living aboard. This highly regarded center-cockpit design combines Island Packet's renowned construction and sea-kindly performance with a spacious two-cabin, two-head interior, excellent storage, and a versatile 5' draft.
Equipped for extended cruising, Tenacity features in-mast furling, a cutter rig, three electric winches, a bow thruster, an 8 kW generator, solar, a watermaker, a full cockpit enclosure, an arch and davits, Garmin electronics, and a dinghy with a 20 HP outboard. Her ICW-friendly 62' air draft further expands her cruising options.
She has benefited from substantial updates, including standing rigging, a North Sails 3Di in-mast furling mainsail, running rigging, upgraded solar charging, a Kanzaki transmission, and a rebuilt Max-Prop. Her 75 HP Yanmar diesel was removed and professionally rebuilt in 2022 at 3,593 hours and currently has approximately 5,500 total hours.
With comfortable owner's accommodations, substantial tankage, proven cruising equipment, and extensive upgrades, Tenacity offers an attractive combination of capability, comfort, and cruising readiness for a couple looking to explore the coast or venture farther offshore.

Interior
The Island Packet 445 features a bright, spacious interior with a large main salon, linear galley, dedicated navigation station with captain's chair, two private staterooms, and two heads with separate enclosed showers.
Quality teak joinery is found throughout, complemented by approximately 7' of headroom and excellent natural light and ventilation from six large windows, fifteen stainless-steel opening ports, and six opening hatches.
The spacious main salon features two full-length settees with new upholstery (2025). The port settee converts to a double berth. A large dining table folds down from the forward bulkhead, revealing a built-in wine rack, and extends across the salon to accommodate guests seated on both settees.
Located to port adjacent to the companionway, the navigation station is exceptionally well designed for extended cruising. It features a high-back swivel captain's chair, large chart table with storage below, shelving, and ample space for navigation and communication electronics.
The secure and functional galley is located aft of the salon to starboard and extends toward the centerline. Two large Corian countertops provide generous food-preparation space. Equipment includes a top-loading refrigerator, top-loading freezer, double stainless-steel sink, 2-burner induction cooktop and convection oven, microwave, pull-out trash bin, built-in dish racks, cutlery drawer, numerous cabinets, and a water purification system. Opening ports provide additional light and ventilation.
The forward and aft staterooms feature an island double berth with a pillow-top mattress, dedicated HVAC controls, hanging lockers, shelving, cabinets, and an en-suite head with a separate shower. Gas-assisted berth panels lift to provide substantial storage beneath the berths for linens, blankets, towels, and cruising gear.
The aft stateroom also includes a starboard seat and direct access to the large aft storage area/garage.
Both heads feature Corian countertops, stainless-steel sinks, separate shower stalls with folding acrylic doors and molded seats, opening hatches, and ports. The forward head can be accessed from both the forward stateroom and the main salon.
