Passport 40

Passport 40 - exclusively for sale with DBY Boat Sales.

Designed by legendary yacht designer Robert Perry, the Passport 40 is widely regarded as one of the finest fast cruising yachts ever built. Evolving from his groundbreaking Valiant 40, Perry created a yacht that perfectly balances performance, strength, and comfort qualities that have earned the Passport 40 a devoted following among serious bluewater sailors worldwide.

Built at the prestigious King Dragon Shipyard during the golden era of Taiwanese yacht craftsmanship, each Passport 40 was constructed with exceptional attention to detail and signed off by master shipwrights. Mana Wai is a superb example of this heritage beautifully maintained, extensively upgraded, and presented in genuine turnkey condition.
