Designed during the late 1970s by Bob Perry, this 37-foot sailboat represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater cruising that helped establish Passport Yachts' reputation for building serious offshore vessels. Perry's design philosophy emphasized seaworthiness over speed, creating a boat that prioritizes safety and comfort during extended ocean passages. The hull features Perry's characteristic moderate displacement design with a full keel configuration, providing excellent directional stability and predictable handling in challenging conditions. This design approach makes the boat particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and offshore passages, where steady progress and crew comfort matter more than racing performance. Built with solid fiberglass construction and quality hardware throughout, these boats developed a strong following among cruising sailors who valued reliability over flashy performance. The cockpit layout emphasizes safety with high coamings and secure seating, while the cabin provides comfortable accommodations for extended voyaging. While not particularly fast by modern standards, the Passport 37 excels at maintaining steady progress in various wind and sea conditions. Its forgiving nature and robust construction made it popular among couples and small crews planning serious cruising adventures, particularly those venturing beyond coastal waters into blue water territory.
