Passport 40

Passport 40 SERENITY exclusively for sale with DBY Boat Sales.

The Passport 40 is a 40-foot (approximately 12 m) solidly constructed fibreglass sailing yacht built by Passport Yachts with a commanding reputation for seaworthiness and reliability.

This 1985 version is undoubtably the best one in Australia and has been upgraded to the highest level.

Many of the upgrades are so new that they have not even been used yet.

Designed by renowned yacht designer Robert Perry, its built as a performance-cruising yacht with blue-water capability and luxury cruising appointments.

Draft: ~58 ft (1.6 m)
Displacement: substantial for its size, designed for offshore comfort
Engine: Diesel inboard Yanmar, serviced November 2025

Blue-water ready: The Passport 40 has earned a strong reputation for offshore capability and sea-kindly motion. They perform well in light winds for a heavy displacement cruising yacht and downwind track well enough for spinnakers under light helm or self-steering.
