With the perfect blend of modern innovation and traditional features, this highly successful semi-custom yacht meets and exceeds the demands of today's knowledgeable sailor. Designed by Robert Perry as a modern performance cruiser, Mr. Perry has infused all of his past experience and ever evolving innovations into a yacht that practically sails itself. The hull design produces a brisk yet comfortable ride with its long water line and scoop transom. Built to the standards you have come to expect from a Passport, the Passport 470AC is an able and secure ocean voyaging yacht yet equally at home coastal cruising or weekending.

The Passport 470AC is a natural extension of the concept behind the highly successful 456AC & 456CC. As with all of the Passport designs, the distinguishing characteristics of these yachts are their ease of handling and quality of construction. The Passport 470AC strikes a perfect balance between performance and comfort. Her hull shape insures a soft motion offshore and the moderate displacement offers a smooth ride without compromising on performance. The Passport 470AC is an aft cockpit design with the a cutter sail configuration added sail area. The 470AC utilizes every inch of space giving her owner ample storage capacity both on deck and below. A large on deck compartment aft of the cockpit in the transom has room for everything from dingy to generator. Sensible interior accommodations are carefully customized to each individuals needs. An impressive list of equipment and gear such as furling spar and headsail, electric windlass, oversize winches, full sail inventory, canvas, refrigeration, autopilot, and instrumentation is standard with every yacht. The excellent deck detailing and gear situated for ready access with minimal effort adds to her safety
at sea. The aft cockpit design has a large, practical cockpit, a spacious galley and two private staterooms with accompanying head and shower facilities.

But perhaps what a Passport is primarily recognized for is their finely appointed interiors, elegant lines and above all lasting value. The Passport 470AC is no exception. The spacious interiors are of hand made cabinetry, carefully constructed and custom fit within each yacht. The extended, traditional counter transom featured on this model offsets the long cabin trunk that offers such a voluminous interior. Only the best materials in modern hull construction are used. The result is a yacht of uncompromising elegance and enduring value.

As with all of the Passport designs, the interiors are customized to suit each owner and an impressive list of standard equipment and gear is included with the yacht. Passport Yachts, still hand built one at a time.
