The Bayliner 3888 has earned a loyal following among cruising families and liveaboard boaters for its comfortable interior, excellent visibility, and practical use of space. This 1989 example combines those desirable features with dependable twin Hino diesel power.
Step inside and you will immediately appreciate the bright, open salon. Large wraparound windows provide panoramic marina views while filling the interior with natural light. The expansive U-shaped seating surrounds a large dining table, creating a comfortable gathering area for meals, entertaining, or relaxing after a day on the water.
The interior helm allows the captain and guests to remain protected from the weather, while the flybridge provides elevated visibility and a second outdoor entertaining area. Whether cruising the coast, exploring nearby islands, or enjoying weekends at the marina, the 3888 offers the flexibility to operate comfortably in a variety of conditions.
The well-planned accommodations provide the space needed for extended weekends, family cruising, or potential liveaboard use. Warm wood finishes, generous windows, abundant seating, and easy movement throughout the interior give this 38-foot motor yacht the feel of a substantially larger vessel.
Twin Hino diesel engines provide the durability, torque, and cruising efficiency preferred by experienced boaters. The engine installation also offers a strong foundation for an owner seeking a capable coastal cruiser rather than a gasoline-powered express boat.
