SAUCY FOX shows a great combination of luxury, quality and performance for which Passport Yachts are well known.
SAUCY FOX has been meticulously maintained, is easy to sail and will turn heads in any port of call with her striking blue hull. She looks and feels like a new boat and is equipped with everything experienced sailors might wish for.
Performance under sail is enhanced with a taller, performance mast which adds significantly more sail area. There is also a recent upgrade to a new mainsail and an additional larger working jib. The Code Zero maintains boat speed off the wind. Knowledgeable owners have equipped her to be easily and safely handled by a couple with powered sheet winches and a powered multi-purpose winch. Features that further enhance convenience include a bow thruster, davits, remotely operated windlass and moderate draft (5'8") that allows access to desirable anchorages. SAUCY FOX is large enough to provide exceptional comfort yet of a size that will present no difficulty when seeking shelter or dockage.
The interior is striking, elegant and thoughtfully designed. The main salon allows for abundant seating for the entire ship’s company with plenty of natural light. The walk-thru galley is twelve feet long and a walk-thru navigation center allows access to the owner's stateroom aft without disturbing the cook. The Dinette has two tabletops, a large dinette table and smaller, cocktail table, both of adjustable height. Fore and aft are two large and very private staterooms with oversized queen centerline beds, with custom mattresses. Each stateroom has its own en-suite head with a separate shower stall. The dinette area converts to a full-size bed for additional sleeping accommodations. Corian counter tops in the galley, main salon, and in each head and the entertainment area, compliment the exquisite joinery. The interior is lushly upholstered in ultra-leather. Solid cherry doors and louvered lockers, superior grade cherry veneers throughout. Equipped with bow thruster, autopilot, generator, inverter/charger, heat and air conditioning, refrigeration, two color radar/chart plotters, electric winches, self-tending jib, exterior navigation panel, LED lighting and custom interior touches too many to list.
