Morgan 40 Ketch (1972)

The Morgan 40 is a solid and proven offshore cruiser that has been thoughtfully refitted and upgraded for comfortable liveaboard cruising throughout the Caribbean and beyond. Known for its exceptionally strong construction, this vessel features a very thick fiberglass hull with a full encapsulated keel, providing outstanding durability, offshore capability, and added protection for both the propeller and rudder. Designed for sailors seeking reliability and ease of handling, the boat offers multiple sail configurations, generous tankage, dependable systems, and a practical layout that makes extended cruising both safe and comfortable. Below deck, the boat features a very open and spacious interior layout with excellent natural light and ventilation throughout. The forward V-berth is bright and airy and can be separated from the main cabin with a privacy curtain, offering flexibility between an open-concept feel and a more private sleeping area. The main saloon includes a second double berth, while the galley dinette table lowers to create an additional berth, allowing the vessel to comfortably accommodate family or guests. Interior comforts have been upgraded, including a new refrigeration system installed in 2025 and modern galley and comfort systems. The electrical system has been significantly modernized for off-grid cruising and liveaboard capability, with upgraded battery and charging systems, solar generation, inverter capacity, and internet capability added in 2025. Navigation and deck systems have been modernized and the boat is well prepared for serious cruising, with attention paid to safety, handling, and ease of operation. Sailing systems and rigging have been upgraded, and the standing rigging and chainplates were replaced in 2016, providing additional peace of mind for offshore passages. Auxiliary power comes from a dependable diesel engine with approximately 3,700 hours, and the engine received an extensive refit in late 2025. The vessel comes with extensive original documentation and technical drawings dating back to when it was built, along with a 2025 survey available upon request. Never used for charter service, the vessel has been carefully maintained by long-term owners and recently cruised from Port Charlotte through the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the Dominican Republic, proving itself as a capable and ready-to-go cruising yacht.
