The 1987 Pacific Seacraft 34 is celebrated as one of the premier offshore cruising sailboats under 35 feet.

Carefully maintained and upgraded over the years, this vessel is an outstanding choice for those seeking a reliable coastal cruiser or a proven offshore passagemaker.
Inside, the traditional layout is practical and provides exceptional comfort while underway, boasting approximately 6'4" of headroom that makes the cabin feel spacious for its size, all while ensuring the security desired in an offshore cruiser. It offers sleeping accommodations for up to five people, and the well-equipped galley is designed for offshore use, featuring a CNG stove. A dedicated navigation station provides an ideal workspace for planning passages and cruises. The rich teak joinery throughout reflects the renowned quality and craftsmanship of Pacific Seacraft.
The Pacific Seacraft 34 is highly regarded for its balanced handling, comfortable motion in offshore conditions, and confidence-inspiring performance in heavy weather. The cutter rig allows for versatile sail combinations tailored to changing conditions, while the canoe stern and skeg-hung rudder ensure excellent tracking and control in following seas. Although primarily designed as a cruising yacht, the PS34 excels in upwind performance and delivers a remarkably comfortable ride. Owners often commend its ease of single-handed sailing and forgiving nature at sea.
Built with the hallmark attention to quality, its solid fiberglass hull features vinyl ester outer layers to resist osmotic blistering. The lead ballast keel and skeg-hung rudder enhance durability, stability, and reliability offshore. The deck is constructed with balsa coring, and the molded bulwark hull-to-deck joint contributes to both structural integrity and on-deck safety. The Pacific Seacraft 34 is one of the most respected classic offshore cruising sailboats available today, merging timeless aesthetics with genuine blue water capability. This model has served as a benchmark for offshore cruisers, with numerous successful ocean passages and circumnavigations attributed to its revered design.
