Description
LA PEREGRINA – 1989 Cabo Rico 34
New Bern, North Carolina
$89,000
There are boats that talk about bluewater cruising… and then there are boats that have actually done it. LA PEREGRINA is the real thing.
Designed by legendary yacht designer W.I.B. Crealock and built in Costa Rica by Cabo Rico Yachts, the Cabo Rico 34 has long been revered as one of the most capable and beautiful offshore cruising sailboats ever built. Cruising World once described the Cabo Rico line as “traditional, purposeful, and immensely seaworthy,” while generations of offshore sailors have praised the design’s forgiving motion, robust construction, and timeless lines.
The Cabo Rico 34 has earned an almost cult-like following among serious offshore sailors for good reason. Designed by legendary naval architect W.I.B. Crealock, these yachts are celebrated for their seakindly motion, traditional beauty, exceptional craftsmanship, and true bluewater capability. Practical Sailor praised the design’s “strength, seakeeping ability, and teak joinery work,” while owners consistently describe the Cabo Rico as “very solid and safe” in offshore conditions.

Full Details
Equipment and Upgrades
Hull #3 of only thirty-two Cabo Rico 34s built, this vessel has logged over 36,000 offshore miles during the past decade. Her voyages include the Bahamas, Cuba, Belize, Mexico, the Eastern Caribbean, Bermuda, the Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Cabo Verde, and transatlantic crossings. Unlike many “dock queens,” LA PEREGRINA has been actively cruised, professionally maintained, and consistently upgraded for serious passagemaking.
The result is a yacht that feels truly ready for the next adventure. Whether your dream is island hopping in the Bahamas, sailing to Nova Scotia, or crossing oceans, this Cabo Rico 34 offers something increasingly rare in today’s market: genuine offshore pedigree with modern systems already in place.
Her warm teak interior, secure center cockpit, cutter rig, modified full keel, and massive tankage create the kind of confidence offshore sailors search years to find. She is equally suited for a cruising couple, liveaboard life, or an owner seeking a capable yacht with a rich cruising story already written into her wake.
As the current owner says:
“She could easily cross the Atlantic in 2026… She’s full of diesel fuel, water, and propane. Where do you want to go?”

VESSEL WALKTHROUGH
Step below and you immediately understand why Cabo Rico yachts remain so beloved among offshore cruisers. Rich teak joinery, excellent ventilation, practical sea berths, and abundant storage create an interior that feels warm, secure, and purposeful.
Forward is a spacious V-berth with storage beneath. The salon features opposing settees with a folding dining table that easily accommodates guests underway or at anchor. A large quarter berth aft provides additional sleeping accommodations, while the galley is ideally configured for offshore cooking with secure footing, refrigeration, propane stove, and generous counter space.
Ten opening portlights and two large overhead hatches provide exceptional airflow, supplemented by six Caframo fans. The cockpit is deep, protected, and comfortable for passagemaking, enhanced by newer cushions, upgraded canvas, cockpit shower, folding cockpit table, and twin harbor awnings.
This is a boat built to be lived aboard—not merely admired from the dock.
