About Passport Yachts
Legacy of Offshore Sailing Craftsmanship
Founded in 1979, Passport Yachts quickly became known for building premium offshore cruising sailboats. The first Passport was delivered in 1980, setting a standard for quality and performance. Their long-standing partnerships with designers like Robert Perry, Bill Dixon, and Stan Huntingford reflect a commitment to timeless style and seaworthy design.
Owner‑Centric Semi‑Custom Design
Passport adopts a semi-custom build philosophy, collaborating closely with owners to tailor layouts, joinery, and onboard systems while leveraging proven hull platforms. Craftsmen hand-build interiors—piece by piece—ensuring distinctive detailing and a seamless flow from bow to stern.
Iconic Models and Discerning Owners
The Passport 40, with 148 hulls built between 1980 and 1991, remains a classic among bluewater cruisers. More recent models like the Vista 515 offer modern layouts, improved ergonomics, and enhanced sailing performance. Many owners return to Passport for second or third builds.
Innovative Materials and Seamanship Focus
Passport combines modern construction with traditional craftsmanship. Their yachts feature solid fiberglass hulls, custom stainless-steel fittings, and finely finished teak cabinetry. This thoughtful blend of materials and design supports both durability and offshore reliability.
