Pacific Seacraft 34 Buyer's Guide
The Pacific Seacraft Crealock 34 has been a fixture of the used cruiser market since its 1984 introduction, and buyers shopping brokerage listings will find a boat that was built as a serious offshore cutter rather than a weekend bay toy. Knowing what was standard, what owners typically added, and where the structure deserves a close look will keep a purchase decision grounded.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every example follows the same Crealock 34 interior plan: a V-berth forward that converts with an insert to a queen, a narrow 10-foot-10-inch saloon with 6-foot-4-inch headroom, and settees that include a port double. The quarterberth aft is long but low, suited to a sea berth. The galley is standard with pressure water and a Force 10 propane stove, and newer boats substituted an 8-cubic-foot Seafrost fridge. The head has no shower stall. Cockpit seats are long but the footwell is narrow, so judge liveability against your crew size rather than photos.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a dodger, bimini, radar, autopilot, and chartplotter as standard cruising kit. Often-seen additions include heating, an inverter, AIS, a spinnaker, life raft, air conditioning, solar, and an EPIRB — a cluster that tells you many were owned by serious cruisers who invested in power and safety. Less common are asymmetric spinnakers, hot water, and cockpit showers, so treat those as owner upgrades rather than expected finds. For a buyer, the presence of solar and inverter speaks to independent anchoring ability, while AIS and EPIRB signal offshore intent.
What to Inspect
The hull is solid fiberglass with a 7/8-inch bottom and a vinylester skin coat over ISO-NPG gelcoat to limit blistering, but a survey should still confirm no osmotic history. The deck is balsa-cored, so sound for soft spots around hardware where water may have entered. Chainplates are outside the hull and easy to inspect for crevice corrosion, and the lead keel-to-stub joint bedded in epoxy deserves a close look for separation. The skeg-protected rudder should be checked for impact damage. Internally, the full-length pan bonded to the hull means bulkhead and pan bonding are key structural points to examine.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats appear in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada. For a shopper, the checklist is simple: confirm the cutter rig's Harken furlers and six winches are intact, verify the Yanmar compartment's 360-degree access is unobstructed, inspect the balsa deck and external chainplates, and decide whether the no-shower head and narrow cockpit footwell fit your plans. A well-kept example is a coherent, seaworthy small cruiser with few surprises.
