I'm curious if there is a similar list for significant passages or
extended cruises.

Problem with such a list is defining "significant" and "extended."

If you were to take a census of current cruiser passages by power
yacht (perhaps limited to 60-70' and owner operated), I'm curious
what you'd see.  A dominance of the big brands, Krogen, Nordhavn, or
a perhaps a majority of custom, customized, or small lines like the
diesel ducks.

The makes that have produced a lot of boats are the ones that will
appear most often, ie, the brands in production. To the two you've
cited, add DeFever and Cheoy Lee, and if you include coastal
passages, add a whole bunch of Grand Bankses and Marine Traders and
Mainships . . . the list goes on.
