Overview
“Lastochka” is a standout example of the Island Packet 420—Hull #2, originally built for the Annapolis Boat Show and selected as Cruising World’s Best Cruising Yacht in 2000.

She is not a marina queen or a forgotten project—this is a proven, sea-trialed yacht meticulously outfitted with top-tier gear, new systems, and thoughtful enhancements.
