Located in Marina Solarte, Bocas del Toro, Panama

The Passport 41 Te Arawa (V-berth configuration) was built as an update to the iconic Passport 40 with a taller rig, providing an expanded sail plan, as well as a molded swim platform on the transom.

Te Arawa spent most of her life in fresh water. In 2016 the previous owner started preparing her for offshore cruising (Hydrovane, watermaker) but when covid hit he was forced to leave her in Guatemala. In 2021 the current owner purchased her and moved aboard straight away. Until 2024 he was living aboard and cruising full time, so she has always been well taken care of.

In 2024 a refit was started in preparation to cross the Pacific but for personal reasons the owner has decided to move back to his home country and had to sell Te Arawa
