That interior is ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING! I have never seen anything (even in all the newer boats) that I like as much as this interior. For me, it is perfect! Wow that is something special! Thanks for bringing this to us!!
Best boat you've ever reviewed, imho. Looks, utility, quality and comfort all balanced perfectly. I'm not partial to center cockpits because, relative to their length, they give up quite a bit of cockpit and lazarette space compared to a similar sized aft cockpit. But you do get the broader full height headroom in the aft stateroom as a result and a larger galley. And once you get over 50 feet, the center cockpits finally get large enough for a space where you spend 90% of your waking hours. By the way, this boat comes in an aft cockpit version as well, so if you prefer the larger cockpit and lazarette spaces, you can go that route. Also nice to see pride of ownership. Maintenance is 10% expense and 90% effort. Expensive boat, but you get what you pay for and with outfitting it would probably cost $2 million new today. Beautiful boat. You covered it while I was thinking it, my only minor quibble is the lack of a 3rd stateroom if you have more than a couple as guests, but then you'd have to compromise that forward VIP guest cabin. Our Jeanneau 54DS has very similar styling and a very similar interior layout, but we have 2 guest cabins forward, a v-berth and a pullman, which can be further subdivided into a 3rd guest cabin for kids. But the guest cabin on this boat is palatial and it would be difficult to give it up if 90% of your guests consist of couples only. Someone with the money should buy this boat if they are currently shopping for a go anywhere monohull in this size range.
I have seen these boats over the last few years and without question just a stunning looking yacht. So many yachts these days look like the inside is from Ikea even though the outside could be stunning these yachts have it all.
A 2012 boat for the price of a brand new Windelo 50 or Neel 52, or if you are a monohul enthusiast, a brand new Allures 51.9, made in high grade marine aluminium on the Garcia factory. I could not choose that. The interior of this one is fancy and beautiful, but not practical at all. Center cockpit is all about safety and comfort underway, but then you shoot that down with lines all over the deck and also island berths below. Even Amel has caved nowadays and offer island berths, but those absolutely do not belong in a blue water boat, and people will realize that the first time they are caught out in rough seas. The wood work below is beautiful though. Amel is a better boat in every way, and even though they are very expensive brand new, you for instance can purchase a same age Amel 54 for half the price of this one: I sure would pick the Amel every day!
Clean, no outside teak, grill, Bimini up, nice interior, well maintained, ice maker, long interior view, washer/dryer, easy trash, nice access to bilge/mechanicals, deep sink, bow thruster, unbelievable engine access, draft for Caribbean sailing. Maybe best boat you have shown.
A lovely boat, although well beyond the price point for most of us. In the same vein, I'd advise folks to look at a Hunter passage of various lengths for 20% of the price, or a Catalina Morgan, often less than 100k. A lot of the same features albiet not as large or dramatic.
That interior is SOMETHING SPECIAL! OH MY GOD is that just beautiful!! That woodwork is blowing my face off! BUT how does she sail??? Please tell me, great!
A nice bit of room on the coach roof for a few hundred watts of "walk on" solar panels. Those combined with a couple of hard panels on the arch and the wind generator mentioned in the specs should carry most if not all of the house load. Although I'd want to replace the AGM/Lead batteries with LiFePO4 batteries.
I love your channel, but I’d love it more if you started with the year, designer name, and yard where she was build. Is this a Bill Dixon, or a Bob Perry design? Thanks!
So I’m just starting this video and I want to know first and foremost what’s the keel is it integral and is the rudder protected by a big skeg ? ? I hope so because this is amazing so far ❤️❤️❤️
Beths for only four, not six is a bit limiting in a boat this size. I am also puzzled why they "upgraded" to a larger gel battery when a lithium is a far better choice. Not consistent with "without regard to cost".
There has been a couple Passports at the the Annapolis boat show the past couple years. Always the best boat there in my opinion. Nothing better IMO. Passport and Slocum have an early association having the Passport42 and Slocum43 sharing the same mold. The quality is just amazing. Your earlier review/tour of the Slocum43 shows just how great these boats are for cruising.
Best boat? For what? This is actually a marina boat. It’s beautiful. But it’s not a boat that is built below for ocean passages. I didn’t pay much attention to topside. But below it’s too big for it’s layout. And the layout is optimized not for sailing but for living on the hook or in a marina. No one sleeps on a peninsula bed at sea. The sailors I know, and I’m one, prefer to curl up in a confined safe space. CCs enable large aft staterooms. Blue water boats are not condos. I don’t think a real sailor would buy this boat. They don’t buy new, for one thing. Thyroid don’t spend the better part of $1 million. You can buy Beowulf for $1.75. And it cruises at 14kts.
Amazing boat. For the money it should be. If I had the money this would be on the short list. I might prefer a motorsailer. If you ever get a chance look at a Nordhavn 56MS motorsailer - yea I know there are only like 10 or 12 of them. I can't decide what I think about them. The few reviews out there say they sail really well.
Very nice finish , but in mast roll main? and with 90% jib it's not much sail for this heavy boat. Read a test naming the Amel Maramu 2000 ketch as the best overall blue water boat.
Most perfect until you get on a bigger Passport. Love those boats. I will retire to boat in a few years. Their 615 is on my short list. It doesn't feel like an Ikea project below decks on a Passport.
@@donaldmorrell1649 I live in NJ about 45 West of NYC. Besides retiring from work, I'll be retiring from a long career of racing. But I have a couple left to do. I'll be doing the Harvest Moon this weekend off the coast of Texas as a crew shakedown for the Pacific Cup (San Fran to Hawaii) next July. I know sailing, but mostly race-boats. It is on my todo list to reach out a a broker or two and start looking at interesting boats when they come in. I am really just getting started with my education on the boats that might take me into the leisure portion of my sailing career. In a dream world, I'd love to help deliver some likely boats in the 55-65 foot range. The 615 I saw was at the Annapolis boat show in 2022.
very sweet interiors. pity we didn't get to have a full show of the wall facing the aft cabin. I' want, instead a large TV, a large desktop folding down, creating a quasi full-sized desk...
I am not a sailing person, watch a lot of UA-cam stuff, this has got to be the dream boat. Retirement boat, never need land again except stocking up supplies
I've always loved Passports except for one thing. It may sound petty, but the 7 step companionway ladder that is really steep is a show stopper for me. I can't imagine climbing up and down that all day, everyday. Much better designs out there.
Everybody has their particular needs and preferences, that’s why there are so many different configurations on these first rate boats. For me it’s aft center berths with thru-Hull ports, so I can see the water surface while lying in bed. When you’re spending this kind of $$, and then years living aboard, you SHOULD insist that it meet your own prefs. Happy hunting !
the steps on a CC are often steeper than a rear cockpit, but those did look extra extra steep... I found myself wondering if I could fit a rope to swing down on or a fireman's pole or a kid's slide
I love the touch of the two throw pillows arranged as the Ukrainian flag at 8:50, nice touch! Perfect layout if a cruising couple with couples joining. I'm rarely at a loss to criticize, but this just hits all the bases.
It is an expensive and has a couple of flaws, in my opinion: the batteries should be lithium ferro phosphate and it does not have dishwasher ummmm. Is the quality really so great in the hull, motor and mast and rigging etc to justify that price ?
You haven’t mentioned or included in the bio what year it was constructed. You have mentioned that this model won cruiser of the year in 2012 but if this isn’t a 2012 model (which i don’t think it is) then that is irrelevant???

@@jbhann Just thought it wasn't fair to refer to extremes. Had plenty of Fords in my life (first one a 1960 Ford Sunliner -- white, what a gorgeous car. Still miss it to this day). Only memories now.
@@cestmoi1262 …Sometimes one has to play a little unfair to win, but you called out my foul. I don’t blame you for missing that Sunliner. That’s a sexy and mean looking car all rolled into one. On a side note, do you speak French?
For 850,000 gib, I think I'd have to air bnb those rooms for at least 5 years before I'd feel comfortable taking this boat out for it's first sinking test.
Hell youd have to be a fireman climbing up & down that companionway , Soon get tired of that in a seaway . I'd go with a Jennuae 55 deck saloon for !/2 the price , Nice engine access .
for about 3 times the price of a Beneteau 57 i feel (as quite an unknowledgeable person when it comes to sailboats, so forgive me if I'm wrong) like not that good of a deal
Garcia. CNB. Warwick Swan. Halberg Rassey, Oyster. Dubios. the list goes on. ALL proven world cruisers of TOP quality. Some more exxy ,some similar. Some cheaper. NO One make/model is the BEST...Personally I like a good well built slower STEEL hull. after hitting a container S/West of Tasmania several decades ago. Just a ding. NO leak. Southern Ocean 80ft. mid late '80's Super well built/strong. WILL take anything and a decent one for around 500k to 1 mill or so.. They've been raced around the world. Multiples of them for decades. Much better ride in the rough. Faster. triple the room inside and not built super lightweight/Breakable in real seas An earlier. Bigger. Named brand will always be a better more comfy vessel than a late model smaller version of anything. In my eyes... Look around the interiors of some of those named above. You'll be surprised.
Lovely boat: actually boat shaped! A moderate balanced hull which will sail well in a seaway and at all angles of heel. It's too heavy. It gives away nearly 10ft of waterline - only 45ft. Skegged rudders suck and are not stronger than a properly designed and executed spade rudder, while being considerably less effective. So not flawless...but pretty good.
Beautiful boat, extremely well maintained. I offer what I have $200,000 cash and a $200,000 home real good condition, 5 miles to one of the top ranked colleges in sports. ❤
Imagine buying a house you could travel the world with? Or turn into a business on the side (Chartering) that alone makes some of these boats worth the price, in my eyes anyway.
Not much storage in deck lockers for such a big boat. Where do you put the salty stuff? Paddleboards, dive gear, kitesurfing gear, fenders, oh, I see, you use the head down below! Shame you have to carry salt dripping hear through the boat
There surely a lot of different versions of 'Perfect'.....this is surely one of them....Me, I much prefer the Herreshoff Marco Polo....55'LOA 49LWL, 10'Beam and capable of 200 mile days given the nerve to drive her pretty hard. -Veteran '66-68
It's my kind of boat... totally. Did you say 54 feet, not 42 feet? I'm looking between 42 & 54 and however stunning... if I was at the 54 end I would expect a third cabin, I have seen great 42s with that spec.
There are at least 10+ things which are not practical for world cruising, and i dont mean the price lol. After 40 yrs of sailing including single around definitly not this one for me.
An incredible boat, but having the sink outside of the head, where people go use the bathroom, then they can't wash their hands before entering the rest of the boat, it's kind of nasty..
Its not amazing there are design Faults….. The most obvious one is the Engine access in the Shower where there is a Very real danger of Water getting on the Engine,s electrics , And one other one is the Canopy bars are flimsy in High Winds and are easily Bent and will break ….

That interior is ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING! I have never seen anything (even in all the newer boats) that I like as much as this interior. For me, it is perfect! Wow that is something special! Thanks for bringing this to us!!
As marvelously civilized as the center console and deck it.... the main cabin is a complete show stopper. One word Lux!
Wow, wow, wow, this is the best laid out and practical sail boat i have ever seen.
Classic casual, couldn't have done a better job building this beauty. Perfect layout, perfect.
This also has to be one of my favorite interiors. I've fallen in love with this boat.

There are many similar sized Oysters or Discoveries in this age and price bracket.
@@davidkennedy3050 Agreed, but this boat just has a bit of panache that I don't get from a similar Oyster. Probably just personal preference.
One of the most beautiful yachts, of its class, I have seen.
Hanginn' round New Port and the islands this is an "if you have to ask" kinda vessel. Love it
Another reason for top loading refeg/frezzer is the cold doesn't fall out when open like a front loader. Saves running the generator. :)

That interior is SOMETHING SPECIAL! OH MY GOD is that just beautiful!! That woodwork is blowing my face off! BUT how does she sail??? Please tell me, great!
Absolutely beautiful!
845 I think is a little high for this nice looking sail boat. You can get a really nice Catamaran with 4 bedrooms for that coin. What do you think ?
i'd call it a ripoff.
I think catamarans are more stable upside down that right side up.
How do we all feel about in-boom furling? It would be the only thing I would change… stunning 💕
Completely disagree hands down over furling mast.
I love those center cockpits also; if i was a sailor this one would have to be on my short list.

Passports have an encapsulated keel. 545 cc as soon as I win the lottery!
That is a REALLY nice sailboat! Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to keep her even if I got her for free. But still, . . . WOW!

13.40 You could shave sitting on the can to save time..
I prefer a solid cockpit cover rather than a short lived cloth one. Very nice otherwise.
You don't need to keep waving your hand in front of the camera to point out the obvious
Lol….845,000….I am already out….nice but expensive….
HR 46 + is at least as good as this.
There are at least 10+ things which are not practical for world cruising, and i dont mean the price lol. After 40 yrs of sailing including single around definitly not this one for me.
An incredible boat, but having the sink outside of the head, where people go use the bathroom, then they can't wash their hands before entering the rest of the boat, it's kind of nasty..
Halyard slap........
$850K is very reasonable
Its not amazing there are design Faults….. The most obvious one is the Engine access in the Shower where there is a Very real danger of Water getting on the Engine,s electrics , And one other one is the Canopy bars are flimsy in High Winds and are easily Bent and will break ….
