Passport 470 Center Cockpit

The Passport 470CC is a natural extension of the concept behind the highly successful 456 and aft cockpit sistership, the 470AC. As with all of the Passport designs, the distinguishing characteristics of these yachts are their ease of handling and quality of construction. The Passport 470CC 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 470CC design utilizes every inch of space to give you ample storage capacity both on deck and below.  A large on deck compartment aft of the cockpit has room to store everything from a dingy to bicycles. Sensible interior accommodations are carefully customized to each individuals needs.

On deck the Passport 470 Center Cockpit stands alone in her class incorporating a large cockpit with entries port and starboard for easy access and an unequaled large aft deck area that is often used as a second communal gathering spot. Voluminous deck storage, water tight bulkhead and high bulwarks and life lines for safety are all standard. With her encapsulated lead ballast in the cruising fin keel and her full skeg hung rudder the Passport 470 delivers good turns of speed and control while at the same time being very safe and stiff in all conditions. With her generous hull and deck design the Passport 470CC has plenty of room below for both a very large master cabin and a king sized guest cabin, both with in suite head and shower. Alternatively a three stateroom layout is available affording a large third cabin without compromising either of the other suites or heads. The well appointed galley will delight the pickiest of chefs with loads of counter space and storage. And, the spacious navigation station / electronics center is a captain’s dream come true. 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.

But perhaps what a Passport is primarily recognized for is their finely appointed interiors, elegant lines and above all lasting value.  The Passport 470CC 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.
