MAGGIE is a well-equipped Passport 470 aft cockpit cruiser, a Robert Perry design known for combining handsome proportions, serious passagemaking capability, and the kind of practical offshore layout that continues to appeal to experienced sailors. Currently located in Grenada, she presents as a thoughtfully updated bluewater cruising yacht with the systems, sailhandling, and equipment profile to support extended voyaging rather than just occasional coastal use. The current listing places her in True Blue, Grenada, and identifies her as a 2000 Passport 470 cutter with fiberglass hull construction.
What makes MAGGIE particularly attractive is that she reads like a boat that has been equipped by people who actually cruise. Her cutter rig, skeg-hung rudder, internally ballasted modified fin keel, and ICW-friendly mast height reflect a design aimed at safe, manageable offshore sailing, while her inventory shows meaningful updates in the areas that matter most to a bluewater buyer. She carries a Leisure Furl in-boom furling mainsail with fully battened Quantum main, roller furling genoa and staysail, a Parasailer added in 2015, electric primary winches, a Walder boom brake, and new traveler and mainsheet blocks in 2024. Taken together, that is the sort of sailhandling package that helps make a 47-footer genuinely manageable for a cruising couple.
Below deck, MAGGIE offers the warm, traditional interior finish Passport buyers expect, with teak joinery, teak-and-holly sole, ebony trim accents, and abundant natural ventilation from numerous opening ports and deck hatches. Her two-cabin, two-head layout is well suited to owner cruising with occasional guests, featuring a forward owner’s stateroom with ensuite head and separate stall shower, plus an aft guest cabin with ensuite/day head access. The main saloon also provides secure offshore seating and a proper sea berth arrangement, with a convertible portside dining settee and a full-length starboard settee with lee cloth.
The galley and systems profile reinforce that this is a real passagemaking boat. The U-shaped galley includes Corian countertops, a three-burner Princess propane stove and oven, Seafrost refrigeration and freezer, an Engel portable fridge/freezer, and extensive storage. Mechanically, she is powered by a 63 HP Yanmar with approximately 3,600 hours and fitted with a MaxProp feathering propeller, Vetus bow thruster, dual-zone reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a Spectra Catalina 300 watermaker with updates in 2023. Electrical upgrades are especially strong, including a new Northern Lights 6 kW generator in 2023 with about 240 hours, Victron house batteries and inverter/charger installed in 2022, an AirSilentX wind generator from 2022, and new Victron solar panels added in 2024.
MAGGIE’s navigation and communication equipment also support the bluewater story well. The listing notes Raymarine multifunction displays at both helm and nav station, a Raymarine Evolution autopilot installed in 2017, radar, AIS, forward-looking sonar, and a new Icom VHF in 2023. In 2024, she was also upgraded with Starlink high-speed internet and a DC conversion kit, which is the kind of practical modern addition long-range cruisers increasingly want aboard. Safety and cruising gear include a Plastimo Transocean six-man liferaft, EPIRB, Galerider drogue, multiple bilge pumps, three anchors including a 75 lb Rocna with 200 feet of chain, plus an Achilles tender with Yamaha 15 HP outboard.
For the buyer looking for a proven bluewater cruising yacht with strong pedigree, good tankage, manageable sailhandling, and the right off-grid upgrades already aboard, MAGGIE is a compelling opportunity. She has the equipment profile many buyers hope to find but often do not: modern charging capability, watermaker, generator, bow thruster, updated communications, solid ground tackle, and a layout that remains comfortable and practical whether at anchor or offshore. At 47 feet, with a 14’2” beam, 6’9” draft, 31,500-pound displacement, 160 gallons of fuel, and dual 75-gallon water tanks, she sits in a very usable sweet spot for serious cruising without pushing into a much more complex ownership category.
Highlights
MAGGIE features gorgeous teak joinery and a teak and holly cabin sole. The passageway doors, hanging lockers, and cabinetry are trimmed with beautiful Ebony wood. Overall, her interior is in very good condition. Numerous opening ports and overhead hatches provide superb ventilation and natural light.
She is a two-cabin, two-head layout, with the master cabin forward and quarterberth guest cabin aft. Each cabin has ensuite access to private heads. She has been lovingly cared for and well-maintained.
MAIN SALON
The main salon has a wraparound settee to port with a convertible dining table that can be used as a double berth. To starboard is a long settee with lee cloths. An ideal sea berth while offshore. All the cabinets and lockers are louvered for natural airflow and classic good looks. There are abundant lockers and bookshelves port and starboard.
MASTER STATEROOM
The master stateroom forward has an ensuite shower stall and head. The berth is a large V-berth with a custom mattress and lots of storage above and below. There are many cabinets and hanging lockers; storage is bountiful. The forward head has been upgraded with an electric flush marine toilet and features a separate stall shower with full standing head room, vanity sink with medicine cabinet above, and additional storage under the sink.
Forward Head
AFT STATEROOM

Aft Head
GALLEY
Aft of the main salon is the U-shaped galley. It is well equipped with a double basin sink, propane cooktop with oven and boiler, large refrigerator and freezer boxes, microwave cabinet, and lots of drawers and locker space for provisions and galleyware. The Corian countertops are in excellent condition and feature teak fiddles with incorporated hand holds. This is a proper galley for offshore passage making. It is very safe, secure, and functional.
At the base of the companionway steps to port, aft of the galley is a large outboard-facing navigation station with a seat and fold top chart table. MAGGIE is well equipped with Raymarine cruising electronics. In 2023/2024, she was updated with a Starlink high-speed internet antenna and a new VHF radio with AIS.
Electronics
Helm
Solid fiberglass hull, with hand-laminated construction using knitted and biaxial fabrics, vinylester and isophthalic resin, and isophthalic gelcoat. The transverse and longitudinal stringers are foam-cored for strength and stiffness in the hull. The keel is internally ballasted and glassed into a modified fin keel. The skeg-mounted rudder with internal stainless steel rudderpost and integral stainless reinforcement is preferred for offshore sailing. All deck hardware is thru-bolted with stainless steel backing plates.
