Description
SV SAPPHIRE is a Robert Perry design Passport 44, built in Taiwan in 1994 with beautiful teak work through out. This is not a production boat; SAPPHIRE is a true ocean-going vessel with a renowned reputation for comfort and safety at sea. With a well laid out Center cockpit, she can be single-handed with ease, without leaving the cockpit. Down below the 2 cabins & salon layout provides comfort and privacy with ample headroom of 6′ 7″. The forward guest cabin has a Pullman berth with full private head. The main salon & galley has plenty of storage space and ample seating. A custom table with highly figured Sapele top with Bubinga trim. The master cabin has a queen size berth with a very comfortable custom spring mattress and a private head with separate shower. The sugar scoop/swim platform also has pressurized hot/cold shower. With 800 watts of solar power and water maker, SAPPHIRE is a true “Off-The- Grid” vessel. At a dock, the current owner never has to plug in the shore power or fill the water tanks!
