SOLITUDE represents a rare opportunity to acquire a late-model Passport Vista 545 in extraordinary condition. Delivered new in 2018, she has been sailed exclusively on the Chesapeake Bay, which means light seasonal use and very low hours across all major systems. Her interior and exterior finishes show beautifully—more like a much newer yacht—making SOLITUDE an immediate, high-value alternative to new construction without the cost or lead time.

Designed for serious passagemaking yet optimized for an experienced couple, the Vista 545 blends bluewater strength with refined craftsmanship and easy handling. Her powerful hull form, shoal draft keel (5'7"), ICW-friendly mast height of 63'6" (without antennas), watertight forward bulkhead, and skeg-hung rudder deliver the composure and safety offshore that discerning cruisers expect. Equally important, her advanced composite construction yields stiffness, a favorable ballast ratio, and a seakindly motion—delivering offshore performance on par with many heavier, older designs, while retaining the efficiency and responsiveness of a modern yacht.

A key to SOLITUDE’s versatility is the Solent rig: two independent furling headsails (a working jib and a larger reacher) paired with an in-mast furling mainsail. This arrangement enables quick, precise sail changes, easy reefing, and superb balance across the wind range. The result is a yacht that is powerful yet forgiving, genuinely short-handed friendly, and safe in virtually all conditions—ready for a new owner to decide whether her next chapter is quiet weekends on the Bay or ambitious passages across the oceans.
