1993 Pacific Seacraft 34

Step aboard and you can feel why the Crealock 34 has such a loyal following. The deep, secure cockpit keeps the crew protected when the breeze pipes up, and the hefty coamings give you a solid brace when reaching along. Wide, unobstructed side decks and substantial handholds make moving forward in a seaway feel secure instead of sporty. Underneath, the full keel with cutaway forefoot and protected prop shrug off the inevitable bump with a stray crab trap or shoal. Down below, the seakindly motion really shows—berths are arranged so you can sleep tucked in on either tack, and the abundant storage invites true cruising loads instead of weekend duffels.

For these waters, the Pacific Seacraft 34’s blend of draft, protection, and manners is a standout match. The moderate draft and full keel track confidently through shifting channels and choppy sounds, yet still slip into snug anchorages behind barrier islands and marsh creeks. In summer squalls, the conservative sail plan and easily reefed rig keep things controlled and comfortable, even when afternoon thunderheads roll through. When a front pushes through in the shoulder seasons, the boat’s ballast ratio and sturdy construction inspire confidence on longer coastal hops. Add generous tankage and a cockpit that stays dry in confused chop, and you have a capable cruiser ready for both lazy weekend gunkholing and serious seasonal passages.
