1977 Pacific Seacraft 25

The Pacific Seacraft 25 is one of those boats that sailors love to talk about over dockside coffee — small, sturdy, a little old-school, and completely confident in its own skin. Designed by the celebrated naval architect Henry Mohrschladt and launched in the late 1970s, the 25 is the kind of compact cruiser that’s more about journey than destination.

At first glance, she looks purposeful: a full keel, a sweet sheer line, traditional overhangs, and a bowsprit that hints at bluewater ambitions. She’s not a big boat — just over 24 feet on deck (and closer to 28 feet overall, counting the bowsprit) — but the clever layout makes her feel roomier than the numbers suggest. Down below, you’ll find a surprisingly practical cabin with berths for two or three, a functional galley, and just enough teak trim to feel warm without being fussy. Storage is abundant for a boat her size, and the workmanship, especially in older models, is genuinely solid.

If you want speed, look elsewhere; the PSC 25 is not about winning races. But she’ll make you smile when the weather gets tough and most other little boats are running for cover. Her thick fiberglass hull, deep rudder, and heavy ballast give her an easy, steady motion at sea. Owners rave about her ability to track and her reassuring, dry deck even when things kick up.

Essentially, the Pacific Seacraft 25 is for folks who dream of heading off for a weekend — or maybe farther — without feeling like they've left home too far behind. She’s not flashy, but she’ll get you there, and she’ll take care of you along the way. If you’re after reliability, character, and the kind of classic lines that get a nod from salty sailors everywhere, this might just be your boat.
