Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 for Sale
Few pocket cruisers have earned the cult following of the Flicka — and this Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 for sale is a well-kept example of why the model still commands serious attention. She’s been maintained by a single owner for the past eight years, with a freshly serviced Yanmar diesel, recently replaced standing rigging, and a hull and deck in sound structural condition throughout. The Flicka 20 is renowned for its full-keel offshore capability in a 20-foot package — a genuinely seaworthy boat that has completed bluewater passages in the hands of careful owners. This example features updated electronics, a Whale Gusher manual bilge pump, and a tidy below-deck layout with a proper quarter berth and enclosed head. Located in Newport, RI — serious inquiries only, sea trial available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Flicka 20 is one of the few production boats under 25 feet genuinely regarded as offshore-capable. Its full keel, heavy displacement, and conservative rig make it a serious bluewater boat despite its small size — several have completed ocean crossings.
Most Flicka 20s are fitted with a single-cylinder Yanmar 1GM10 diesel producing around 9hp. It's a simple, reliable auxiliary well-matched to the boat's modest motoring needs.
The Flicka 20 sleeps two comfortably — one in the V-berth forward and one in the quarter berth aft. The layout is compact but well-designed for a couple on extended cruising.
The Flicka 20 was produced by Pacific Seacraft from 1974 through the early 2000s, with the design originally drawn by Bruce Bingham. Build quality and features vary somewhat by production era.
Key areas to survey include the deck-to-hull joint, chainplates and standing rigging, the condition of the teak deck overlay if present, keel bolts, and the Yanmar engine mounts and raw water impeller. A professional survey is strongly recommended.
