About the Morgan 35

Morgan Yachts built the Morgan 35 as part of their respected line of cruising sailboats, offering sailors a versatile platform well-suited for coastal cruising and occasional offshore passages. This mid-sized cruiser reflects the builder's philosophy of creating practical, seaworthy vessels that balance comfort with sailing performance. Known for their solid fiberglass construction and thoughtful interior layouts, Morgan 35s typically feature spacious accommodations that make them appealing for extended cruising or liveaboard scenarios. The design emphasizes stability and ease of handling, characteristics that have made Morgan boats popular among both experienced sailors and those new to cruising. The Morgan 35 carries the builder's reputation for creating boats that handle well in various conditions while providing the creature comforts necessary for comfortable cruising. These boats are often found in the used boat market, where they attract buyers seeking proven blue-water capability without the premium price of more exotic designs. While not specifically designed for racing, the Morgan 35 offers respectable sailing performance and has earned a following among cruisers who appreciate reliable construction, reasonable maintenance requirements, and the confidence that comes from sailing a well-established design with a solid track record.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
