BOAT DESCRIPTION

Dream Keeper is just that, a solid cruising vessel that has fulfilled a lot of dreams.

She is a Passport 42 Aft Cockpit Cutter, designed by yacht designer Stan Huntingford. The Passport 42s were built in Taiwan, by Passport Yachts Inc.  They are known for being a strong and capable bluewater cruiser. Whether you’re offshore or in the harbor, she offers a spacious home with a meticulously cared for interior and exterior.

In the description below, you will find that DREAM KEEPER has had a lot of recent work done to her. From the standing rigging, running and engine work, you will be hard pressed to find another boat like her on the market. The only thing you need is yourself, food, and a destination in mind. Reach out to Geli Burgin for additional information. Lets un-pickle the water maker and get you on your way.

ACCOMMODATIONS

DREAM KEEPERS interior has a warm glow of newly freshened varnish. Her leather upholstery shows little wear. The solid teak makes it warm and inviting. Fire up the Force 10 diesel heater in the middle of the winter to keep your boat and fully enclosed cockpit toasty warm. In the summer you can remove the enclosure or swap the eisenglass panels for screens.

Starting forward there is a double berth offset with storage drawers underneath. The head is spacious with a nice vanity and step in shower. Opposite the bathroom is a large hanging closet. In the salon, to starboard is a straight settee with a huge L-shaped settee to port. The dining table is a two-leaf folding drop table, providing room to host 8 people comfortably. An offshore working galley, equipped with a newly installed Force 10 three burner propane stove is located to port aft to the dining area. There is plenty of counter space for your gourmet meals. To starboard is the navigation station, electrical panel and equipment. There is a large workbench / chart table aft to starboard. Aft of the galley is the second stateroom, offering the guest a nice double berth, plenty of storage all with great ventilation and light.

The cockpit is fully enclosed (and can be removed) with a folding table. Lines run aft to the winches making it easy to single or double hand.

The teak decks were re-seamed and re-plugged. The decks and prism glass are in excellent condition. The boat does feel and look newer than a 1985 model.
