Overview
About this vessel
If you're looking for a true ocean-going cruising yacht, the Passport 40 sits firmly in the "no-compromise" category. Designed by legendary naval architect Bob Perry and built by Passport Yachts, these vessels earned a global reputation for exceptional build quality, offshore strength, and safe, comfortable passagemaking. The Passport 40 is not a marina ornament--it's a yacht designed to cross oceans with confidence.
This 1989 example presents as a well-maintained, sensibly upgraded cruising platform, offering strong mechanicals, modern sail inventory, and a warm, practical interior that belies her age.
Passport yachts are renowned for their robust lay-up, conservative engineering, and sea-kindly motion. With a deep ballast ratio, moderate draft, and powerful hull form, the Passport 40 is widely regarded as one of the most capable production bluewater cruisers of her era--trusted by serious sailors for offshore passages, liveaboard comfort, and long-range cruising.
This Passport 40 represents a rare opportunity to secure a genuine bluewater cruiser with pedigree, presence, and proven capability. Strong, comfortable, and thoughtfully upgraded, she is equally suited to offshore passagemaking, extended coastal cruising, or full-time liveaboard life. Serious yachts like this are increasingly hard to find. Inspections are highly recommended.
