The Pearson 424 is a legendary Bill Shaw-designed bluewater cruiser known for its exceptional build quality, comfortable accommodations, and proven offshore capabilities. This 1983 cutter-rigged example is equally at home cruising the Hawaiian Islands, crossing oceans, or serving as a comfortable liveaboard.

Powered by a dependable 58 HP Westerbeke diesel engine with a Max-Prop feathering propeller, she is equipped for serious cruising with a self-tending staysail, roller furling genoa, Monitor windvane self-steering system, solar charging, and electric windlas.

Below deck, the warm teak interior offers a spacious layout with a large salon, private quarter cabin, dedicated navigation station, U-shaped galley, and excellent ventilation throughout. Combining classic lines, solid construction, and cruising-ready equipment, this Pearson 424 is a rare opportunity to own one of the most respected offshore cruising yachts ever built.
