Broker's Comments
This 1978 Tayana 37 presents a rare opportunity to step aboard one of Robert Perry’s most beloved blue-water designs in genuinely impressive condition. A voyaging classic with a modern soul, she retains the handcrafted charm and stout build that made the Tayana name synonymous with ocean-crossing confidence.
Her brightwork gleams, her decks are clean underfoot, and her interior feels like a warm embrace after a long passage, with gorgeous teak joinery that has been beautifully preserved. Systems, rigging, and sails show careful stewardship rather than deferred maintenance.
The current owner has clearly cherished the boat, investing in her reliability, comfort, and cruising capability.
This is a yacht that looks ready to cast off to far horizons: wide-shouldered hull for steady manners at sea, cutter rig versatility for serious passagemaking, and a reputation for seaworthiness that inspires trust when the wind pipes up. Dockside, she turns heads. Underway, she turns miles into memories.
For sailors seeking an elegant, tough, and proven world cruiser that still feels remarkably fresh after decades of adventures, this Tayana 37 stands out as a truly compelling choice. Raise the anchor and go find a new latitude.
