Union 36 Cutter



The Union Cutter 36 exemplifies the bluewater cruising experience, offering a seamless union of sturdy ocean-cruiser and superior comfortability below. Built in 1983, this 36.2-ft cutter-rigged yacht for sale showcases Robert Perry’s renowned double-ended, heavy displacement design that utilizes the skilled hand-craftsmanship and quality building materials endemic to the period that allow it to tackle rough waters and high winds with comfort and ease.

Cruisers will love how well-equipped Pacific Spirit is: with watermaker, autopilot, wind vane, ample ground tackle, and multiple redundant power-generating systems, this vessel is a true home-on-the-water and able to take her next owner anywhere in the world. Replete with an incredible array of spare parts and tools, shade and protective covers, and fun extras like fishing and dive gear, this vessel has virtually all you need at the ready.

Below you will discover the beauty of the Union 36 in her well-maintained teak finishes and charming brass accoutrements. Between the ample V-berth, convertible salon table, settee, and quarter berth, she can sleep six people comfortably. The current owners have been diligent in Pacific Spirit’s upkeep and performing requisite maintenance over the years, the most recent major project being the cleaning and weatherproofing of the teak deck and cockpit – together with Cesol on the rail and hatch openings – in 2022.

Conveniently located in the gorgeous cruising grounds of Nayarit, Mexico, this fully-equipped long-distance cruiser is waiting to take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional boat, ready to create lasting memories on the water.
