1997 Island Packet 40

  • TAI TAM is a boat that has been used as it was intended. She spent almost two years cruising the west coast of Mexico and Central America. After transiting the Panama Canal she cruised the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas and East Coast of the USA before arriving in Tampa Bay where she is located in Palmetto. She has been meticulously maintained throughout and has all maintenance records available. Tai Tam is a "turn-key" vessel that can be taken on your dream cruise right now! Everything you need to live aboard her is in place and in fine working condition.
