1986 Passport 40

What better way to live and explore than aboard this legendary 1986 Passport 40, a Robert Perry design revered as one of the most capable and sought-after sailboats ever built? This iconic sloop blends exceptional seaworthiness with impressive speed, thanks to its modified fin keel and skeg-hung rudder. Equipped for adventure, it features a fully battened mainsail, three jibs, and a spinnaker, with all lines led aft for short-handed sailing. This Passport 40 boasts oversized rigging for enhanced strength and reliability, and the removal of teak decking eliminates the need for sanding or patching leaks, while the stunning teak cockpit retains its classic charm. Free from the gel-coat blistering common in boats of this era, this vessel is a testament to quality craftsmanship. Whether you’re sailing into the bay among the whales or chasing the horizon south, this Passport 40 is an exceptional find for serious cruisers seeking new adventures.

Imagine yourself in a tropical paradise, where humpback whales give birth just outside the marina, teaching their young to breach, soaring airborne before crashing back into the sea with enormous splashes. You untie the dock lines and sail among them, propelled by the wind in the sheltered bay, with the faint sound of mariachi music drifting across the water. This is the allure of international cruising, and with Mexico’s proximity to the USA, you’re never far from home.
