This 2002 Bayliner 3988 Command Bridge Motoryacht is an exceptional example of one of Bayliner's most popular cruising designs. Located in San Diego, California, this beautifully maintained motor yacht has benefited from knowledgeable, attentive ownership and shows the care and pride that have gone into keeping her in fantastic condition. The 3988 is well regarded for its spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout, comfortable salon, expansive flybridge, and practical design that makes everything from weekend getaways to extended coastal cruising a pleasure. Inside, recently updated salon flooring and upholstery give the living space a fresh, inviting feel, while new canvas and Eisenglass further enhance the enjoyment of the upper helm and outdoor entertaining areas.

What really sets this Bayliner 3988 apart is the attention given to the systems and maintenance that matter most. During 2026, the owners invested in a new Victron inverter/charger, battery cables, starting batteries, and extensive engine-related updates, including belts, hoses, clamps, heat exchangers, and the port alternator. These improvements build on an equally impressive 2025 that included new trim tabs, dripless shaft seals, bottom paint, generator and thruster batteries, and upgrades to the ground tackle with a new anchor, pulpit, and roller. Rather than simply concentrating on cosmetics, the owners have consistently invested in the mechanical, electrical, and operational aspects of the vessel, making this a particularly appealing opportunity for buyers who appreciate a properly cared-for yacht.

Offered for sale only because her current owners are seeking a different interior layout to better suit their changing needs, this 2002 Bayliner 3988 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained cruising motor yacht without immediately facing the long list of deferred maintenance so often associated with older boats. Whether you're searching for a comfortable San Diego weekend cruiser, a capable Southern California coastal motor yacht, or a spacious vessel for longer adventures, this 3988 deserves serious consideration. Her condition, thoughtful improvements, and history of attentive ownership make her well worth seeing in person.
