SIRIUS - PASSPORT YACHTS FOR SALE

Recent price adjustment. SIRIUS was under contract through 10/5/23 and sailed through survey with only minimal notes; the buyer stepped away for family reasons, not due to the yacht. This beautiful Passport is a semi-custom bluewater cruiser designed to be equally at home making offshore passages or slipping between islands, a true offshore sailing yacht and luxury cruising sailboat with the range and comfort of a capable passagemaker.

A Bob Perry creation, the 470 delivers a seakindly, gentle motion in open water, with moderate displacement that blends comfort and lively performance. Underway she is smooth and quiet, with a reassuring, predictable feel that rewards experienced sailors and welcomes newcomers to longer voyages.

Inside, handcrafted cherry joinery and granite countertops set an elegant tone, complemented by a custom wine cabinet. The double walk‑through, two‑stateroom, two‑head layout offers privacy and easy circulation throughout, reflecting the pedigree of one of the world’s foremost yacht builders. It’s a refined, liveaboard-friendly environment that remains practical at sea.

Thoughtfully outfitted for ocean cruising, SIRIUS features a Cape Horn Extreme watermaker with Z‑ion treatment producing about 220 gallons per day, and an Eclectic D400 wind generator with control panel on a custom stainless pole carrying four antenna arms, a deck light, and an outboard engine lift. A Zodiac Cadet 330 aluminum RIB (2019) measuring 10'11" with a 20 hp Honda stands ready for shore runs. Performance and handling are enhanced by a four‑blade Max‑Prop and a bow thruster, while stainless storm covers protect both hull portlights and all four dorades.

Meticulously maintained with complete records, this Passport 470 is a standout performance cruiser—ocean‑ready, elegant, and genuinely turnkey for extended bluewater cruising or luxurious liveaboard life.

Highlights

Engineered for independence and comfort, this yacht features a Cape Horn Extreme water maker with Z ion delivering 220 gallons per day, complemented by an Eclectic D400 wind generator with control panel mounted on a custom stainless-steel pole carrying four antenna arms, a deck light, and an outboard engine lift. The tender package is equally capable: a Zodiac Cadet 330 Aluminum RIB measuring 10' 11", year 2019, driven by a 20 hp Honda outboard for confident shore runs. Underway efficiency and control come from a four-blade Max Prop and a powerful bow thruster, while life on board is enriched by a warm cherry wood interior, a custom wine cabinet, and a refined two-stateroom, two-head configuration. Offshore peace of mind is further elevated with stainless-steel storm covers for both hull portlights and all four dorades.

Layout

A bespoke American cherry interior flows through a walk‑through galley and a dedicated walk‑through navigation center, granting effortless access to the owner’s aft stateroom. The dinette adapts to every occasion with two interchangeable table tops—a generous dining table and a smaller, adjustable‑height cocktail table—and an additional filler cushion that converts this area into an optional double berth. Both the forward and aft staterooms are large and exceptionally private, each appointed with an en suite head and a separate shower stall. The galley gleams with custom-colored granite countertops, while the end tables and heads are beautifully accented in Corian, expressing the builder’s hallmark craftsmanship. Sirius is finished with custom faucets, Ultra‑leather upholstery, and Passport’s trademark solid cherry doors and louvered lockers. Practical elegance abounds: double walk‑throughs to the aft cabin, louvered locker doors, a cherry dining table with an additional cocktail top for the dinette, and locking floorboards. Entertaining finds its place with a custom wine and liquor locker and a crystal locker with a glass front door. Abundant natural ventilation is ensured by 15 opening ports with screens and five deck hatches framed in cherry with matching screens, complemented by two hull ports fitted with stainless‑steel storm covers. Completing the picture are custom Ultra‑leather cushions in the main salon, a fold‑down headboard on the aft berth, and a fold‑down vanity with mirror in the aft cabin.

Galley

The walk‑through galley is designed for blue‑water practicality and gourmet poise, centered on double stainless‑steel sinks, a Seward three‑burner stove with oven and broiler, and both a stainless safety bar and stainless stove liner. Fuel management is assured by a dedicated safety LPG panel with solenoid. Cold‑storage is abundant and efficient with top‑ and front‑loading refrigeration and separate top‑ and front‑loading freezer compartments, each driven by Frigaboat 12‑volt DC systems with keel coolers and governed by precise Carel digital controls. Daily life is simplified with a microwave oven, custom granite countertops, and both fresh‑ and salt‑water foot pumps, while a filtered water system added in 2017 delivers polished hydration at sea.

Electronics

Navigation and situational awareness are comprehensively outfitted with Raymarine ST60 depth, wind, and speed displays in the cockpit and an ST60 Graphic display at the nav station. Dual Raymarine E90 Wide radar/chart plotters—one at the nav station with WAAS antenna and a digital 4 kW dome mounted on the mast, and one at the helm—provide redundant, high‑fidelity guidance. Weather and traffic intelligence include Raymarine Sirius weather SR100 with antenna and a Raymarine AIS 650 transceiver paired with a Shakespear antenna and dedicated GPS sensor. Precision control is delivered by a Raymarine ST 6001 Type III hydraulic linear autopilot with 400G Core Pack, presented on a dual instrument pod at the binnacle that also carries bow thruster controls and radar functions. Communications are robust with an ICOM M45 VHF at the nav station plus a Command MIC at the helm, and an ICOM M802 single side band radio with backstay insulators and copper strapping. Entertainment and media are equally refined: a Glomex high‑definition TV antenna, Jensen speakers in the cockpit, a 40" flat screen TV, a Kenwood radio with external XM antenna, Bose speakers in the salon, and a Blu‑ray player.

Rigging

Purpose‑built for range and reliability, the Selden furling mast—powder‑coated along with the boom—was fully serviced in summer 2017 and continues to receive annual service. A Forespar telescoping spinnaker pole with vertical mast storage stands ready, with an LED tri‑color at the masthead. Headsail handling is effortless with Furlex roller‑furling headstay and Furlex roller‑furling inner forestay; both the genoa and staysail furlers were removed and serviced in 2017. The package includes hardware, cars, blocks, a power clutch, and the sheets and halyards dedicated to the roller‑furling inner forestay. A boom preventer and solid rod/vang enhance control, supported by four internal halyards, an internal topping lift, flag halyards at the spreaders, a combo deck and steaming light, and a masthead‑mounted windex. The stainless standing rigging employs mechanical fittings, complemented by a Forespar Ion Dissipater and backstay insulators. In 2017, the mast and all rigging were removed, inspected, and serviced at Maine Yacht Center, with a full inspection report available. All sails were cleaned and inspected by Quantum in 2023, and an Echo Max passive radar reflector was added in 2022.

Winches

Sail handling is powerful and precise with two Harken 70.2 CST two‑speed primaries, a Harken 46.2 CST two‑speed mainsheet winch, and utility support from a Harken 40.2 CST two‑speed on the port coach roof and a Harken 44.2 CEST electric main‑halyard/utility winch to starboard. A Harken 46.2 CST two‑speed winch serves the aft port cockpit, while at the mast a Harken 44 CST two‑speed halyard winch pairs with a Harken 40 CST two‑speed halyard winch for confident hoists and drops.

Sails

A complete and versatile wardrobe by Quantum includes a furling mainsail, a one‑hundred‑twenty‑percent genoa, a furling staysail, and an asymmetric spinnaker for spirited reaches. Heavy‑weather and station‑keeping needs are covered by a Fin Delta anchoring sail, a trysail, and a staysail storm jib. All sails have been serviced by Quantum Sails, ensuring trim confidence and performance.

Canvas

Every canvas element is crafted from Sunbrella for longevity under the sun. The dodger features an offshore strato‑glass window and stainless‑steel handrails at the aft end and along the sides for secure movement. A bimini top with sail windows, new in 2017, shades the helm, complemented by canvas covers for the cockpit table and overhead hatch covers. Additional sun shades protect the starboard, port, and aft sides of the cockpit, while canvas rail covers installed in 2017 preserve the brightwork. Stainless‑steel handrails were added to the aft and both sides of the bimini for added safety and support.

Mechanical

Mechanically confident, the yacht is equipped with a Side Power dual‑prop bow thruster for fingertip maneuvering and a climate system delivering 26,000 BTU of reverse‑cycle heat and air conditioning via two standalone units. Fuel is polished through dual Racor 500 FG fuel filters, with engine protection that includes an alarm, a Fireboy EG2 HFC227 auto/manual fire‑suppression system installed in 2018, and a lead‑foam‑insulated engine room aided by a 12‑volt exhaust fan. The seawater intake is protected by a raw‑water strainer. Steering is by Edson pedestal, with the steering cable replaced in 2017; a folding Lewmar 36‑inch wheel enhances cockpit flow, while the original stainless fixed wheel remains available to suit buyer preferences. Emergency steering and a tiller system stand ready. Three fuel tanks extend range. Propulsion benefits from a four‑blade Max Prop new in 2017, accompanied by a spare four‑blade fixed prop. The main engine received a full service in 2023.

Electrical

Energy autonomy is exceptional, led by an Eclectic D400 wind generator with control panel on a custom stainless‑steel pole that also carries four antenna arms, a deck light, and an outboard engine lift; new D400 blades and hub were fitted in 2022. Solar panel remote controllers were added in 2019, and shipboard generation is anchored by a Mase 7.1 diesel generator, fully serviced in 2017 with a new exhaust elbow installed, alongside a 220‑amp main alternator with a serpentine belt added in 2019. A Fireboy auto fire‑suppression system protects the generator compartment (2018). Climate control is managed by two Cruiseair reverse‑cycle heat and air conditioning units. Shore‑power flexibility includes a 50/250‑volt system with a 50‑amp cable and a 25‑foot extension. Systems protection and conversion are comprehensive: a galvanic isolator, a battery selector switch, a 3000‑watt sine‑wave inverter/110‑amp charger, and a custom LED lighting plan. LED lighting extends throughout the boat (excluding the engine room) as of 2018, with a night‑light entry system for discreet illumination. Storage and monitoring are robust with four 8D AGM batteries (2019) plus two Group 31 AGM batteries installed prior to 2018 and a Victron battery monitor. Communications and convenience continue with a Shakespeare TV antenna, a new mast‑mounted loud hailer (2017), interior courtesy lights, and dedicated engine room and lazarette lighting. Ventilation is aided by four 12‑volt 6‑inch fans. Control is centralized through customized Blue Sea electrical panels and a custom Blue Sea sub‑panel in the cockpit governing all deck‑level lights. The AC panel features two load groups and a source selector for two shore‑power lines and the generator, with full gauges for both AC and DC panels. Safety and standards compliance include 110‑volt GFI outlets in both heads, an internal bonding system, and LED running lights to international rules. Practical touches abound with a 12‑volt utility outlet and 12‑volt courtesy lights in the cockpit and bulwarks, an external Iridium Go antenna routed to the nav station, and two 12‑volt USB outlets in the master stateroom on either side of the berth.

Plumbing

The yacht’s freshwater and sanitation systems are designed for self‑sufficiency and cleanliness, starting with two stainless‑steel water tanks with baffles and an eleven‑gallon hot water heater that runs on 110 volts and via engine heat. A hot‑and‑cold pressure water system is powered by a Shurflo self‑priming freshwater pump, backed by a spare pump. Comfort and hygiene are paramount with salt‑ and freshwater‑flush Raritan electric toilets with macerators in both the owner’s and guest cabins, each served by its own holding tank and dedicated waste piping. A transom‑mounted hot‑and‑cold pressure shower is perfect after a swim. The deck washdown system offers both salt and fresh water, with the deck washer pump replaced by a 70 gph unit with run‑dry protection. Each head is fitted with an automatic sump pump. Three electric bilge pumps with automatic switches manage dewatering; an automatic bilge counter is installed on the lower bilge pump, and an automatic alarm is fitted to the upper bilge pump, with a manual bilge pump as a final redundancy. Gauges monitor fuel, water, and waste tanks. For extended passages, a Cape Horn Extreme water maker with Z ion, new in 2015 and producing 220 gallons per day, keeps tanks replenished.

Hull and deck

The deck plan prioritizes safety and seamanship, beginning with a Side Power dual‑prop bow thruster and cap rails with all external brightwork kept varnished and maintained annually. The light gray non‑skid is extended with additional non‑skid at the cockpit entry for extra security at sea and at the boarding gates. Varnished teak seats grace both bow and stern. Ground tackle is upgraded with a Muir Storm 2200 electric windlass, new in 2023 with a new solenoid and foot switches, feeding a 65 lb stainless‑steel Spade primary anchor on 250 ft of 3/8 ACCO chain (primary rode new 2023), supported by a Fortress secondary anchor with 50 ft chain and 250 ft of line, plus a 250 ft stern rode. Sailhandling hardware includes Harken 70.2 STC primary winches, a Harken 44.2 STEC electric starboard utility winch, a Harken 40.2 STC port utility winch, and a Harken 46.2 STC mainsheet winch. The teak cockpit sole, teak cap rail with stainless striker stripped and refinished in 2015 with eight coats of varnish (maintained annually), and a teak drop‑leaf cockpit table elevate the aesthetic. A custom stainless‑steel pole on the aft deck carries four antenna arms, a deck light, and an outboard engine lift with 4:1 purchase; the deck light is controlled by a remote dongle. Custom Kato stainless‑steel dinghy davits, a stainless‑steel stemhead with double bow rollers, a stern anchor locker with stern hawse and cleat, teak companionway doors with Lexan drop boards, and cockpit walk‑through drop boards round out the blue‑water specification. Boarding is effortless with a custom 316 stainless boarding ladder aft and a custom 316 stainless side boarding ladder with deck fittings. The deckhouse features Hood stainless opening ports with safety glass and screens, two offshore hull ports with shutters, four stainless fixed windows with high‑impact glass, and five stainless overhead hatches with screens. Running rigging support includes five halyards and a pole topping lift, with the main and spinnaker halyards new in 2017. Trim systems are comprehensive: Harken genoa, staysail, and outboard tracks, Harken blocks and cars for the inboard track, a Harken ball‑bearing traveler with control lines and hardware, two Harken quad deck organizers, and two Harken triple sheet organizers, with the starboard side modified to accept five organizers. Deck services include fresh‑ and salt‑water washdown, a fiberglass molded propane locker housing one fiberglass 17 lb tank and one 20 lb aluminum tank kept ashore, and two 20 lb steel tanks currently aboard that can be swapped. A hot‑and‑cold stern shower and a stern anchor locker with removable floor improve storage utility. Structural and safety refinements include a watertight forward bulkhead with deck hatch, recessed cockpit and bulwark lights, copper strapping glassed into the hull lay‑up for SSB, and a stainless‑steel striker on the cap rail.
