There’s a reason the Pearson 365 continues to have a loyal following decades after it was built. With timeless lines, a comfortable cruising layout (Nice Shower!), and a reputation as a capable liveaboard and coastal cruiser, this 1976 Pearson 365 still turns heads at the dock. This boat includes off-grid solar and offers an affordable entry into classic cruising ownership for someone willing to put in some work and make it their own.
At $17,000, this is an honest project boat — not perfect, but full of opportunity. Rather than paying a premium for someone else’s refit choices, you can update systems as you go and build the boat you actually want. Fans of the Sailing Uma YouTube channel will recognize the Pearson 365 immediately, and there are countless hours of videos documenting upgrades, improvements, and cruising life aboard the same model. It’s a rare chance to own a respected cruiser with both pedigree and potential.
Includes an 8ft sailing dinghy with full sail rig and oars and deck mount.
