Introduction
RULA BULA is absolutely immaculate. Her owner has spared no expense to ensure that RULA BULA has been kept in First Class Condition. Of all the IP 485’s currently on the market, she is the best!
The Island Packet 485 is a well-designed bluewatervessel. The solid one-piece hull and keel are integral and very strong. The signature modified full keel with attached rudder provides unparalleled stability, speed and comfort at sea. The cutter rig, time proven and ideal for bluewater passages, offers large sail area, yet flexible sail options and controls. The interior is spacious, with a large salon, three private staterooms and two full heads, providing luxurious and comfortable accommodations for two to six people. Whether cruising the oceans of the world or exploring coastal anchorages, the IP 485 has been designed and built to take you safely and comfortably to your destination.
RULA BULA is very well equipped, has been meticulously cared for and is ready to go to sea. Her standard and optional equipment includes: 100hp turbo-charged diesel, an 8kwMasPower generator, direct drive shaft and gear steering system, three powerful electric winches, a dual gypsy, local and remote control anchor windlass, fresh water washdown systems, full air conditioning, water-cooled refrigeration and freezer and asymmetrical spinnaker with removable spinnaker boom at the bow. Electronics and communications equipment includes: Raymarine E-140W (touch widescreen) chart and radar plotter at the helm and a E-90W (touch widescreen) chart and radar plotter at the navigation station, all with integrated Raymarine ST-60 nav instruments and HD digital radar, satellite telephone, (voice and data), HF SSB (voice and data), extended-range cellular telephone/internet amplifier and masthead antenna, and Wave WiFi amplifier for local WiFi hotspot connection, 10 ft. hard bottom AB inflatable with 15 hp Yamaha outboard. Integrated wind and solar power, 500 gallon per day watermaker… the list goes on. If you are looking for a well equipped, immaculately maintained serious bluewater cruiser, then RULA BULA is a must see.
Interior Accommodations/Walk Through
In the main salon the starboard settee converts to a double berth when fully extended and both settees double as comfortable sea berths. A large table stows against the forward bulkhead and deploys to create a spacious dining area. CE Category A – ocean rated safety windows provide a panoramic view, and overhead lights and numerous reading lamps with individual dimmers are found throughout.
The gourmet galley is equipped with digitally-controlled refrigerator and freezer compartments and double-gasketed drop-front lids on gas support struts for easy access. Either compartment may be used for refrigerated or frozen storage at the setting of the controls. There’s also a pull-out refrigerator drawer for quick access to popular beverages and food.
Aft is the grand owner’s stateroom with an offset double island berth. Hanging storage with extra height is provided in the outboard hanging locker. Access to the aft lazarette storage area is also made available through the aft bulkhead.
Forward is a guest stateroom and head with a double island berth. All staterooms include numerous opening ports and large overhead hatches, providing plenty of light and ventilation. Both berths are surrounded by an array of cabinets, lockers, drawers and shelves, including hinged lids that lift to reveal blanket trays.
The third cabin is across from the forward head and is perfect for a multitude of uses. One can choose over/under style berths as a sleeping area or an L-shaped counter/desk with built-in cabinets underneath for an office, laundry or workshop. An optional filler piece is also available to make a double berth with this latter configuration.
Both luxurious heads feature vanities with solid acrylic countertops, separate shower stalls with seats, folding acrylic doors and standard VacuFlush heads.
Adjacent to the companionway, the nav station includes a high-backed swivel armchair, inlaid table with storage tray, cabinetry space sufficient to mount a wide variety of equipment and the master electrical panels for ship-board AC and DC equipment. There’s also a hanging locker suitable for wet gear within reach. This area is so impressive that SAIL Magazine’s Best Boats judges made this comment: “Any offshore navigator would love to call this nerve center home. This is the best equipped nav station we saw this year.”

Storage Areas
The boat is designed with plenty of easily accessible storage. There are two very large storage "cabin-sized" compartments. One is located at the bow, accessible through a large forward translucent deck hatch. The other is located at the stern (transom lazarette) and is accessible two ways. One can access this huge stern storage compartment (some call it a garage!) through a large reinforced fiberglass sealed deck hatch. One can also access this stern storage compartment through a large step-through doorway in the aft master stateroom. When dockside the large deck access is really convenient and allows excellent access, daylight and ventilation. When underway the interior access passageway is convenient and dry, providing full access while keeping salt spray out of the compartment.
