[1][2][3][4] The design was built by Seafarer Yachts in Huntington, New York, United States between 1978 and 1985, but it is now out of production.

[1][3][5] The Seafarer 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with teak wood trim.

It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional centerboard.

[1] The boat's galley is located on the port side of the cabin and includes dual sinks and a three-burner alcohol fueled stove.

The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth and has a hanging locker and two bi-fold privacy doors.
