38 ft Little Harbor 2002

New to market

Major proactive service on engines and jets completed!

The Little Harbor Whisperjet 38 possesses one of the best day boat and weekender layouts ever conceived.  Her spacious and well-laid-out cockpit and helm deck provide comfortable day boating for 10, and uninterrupted 360° sight-lines.  Her full-beam and well-laid-out interior provides comfortable cruising for four.  Her jet drives enable shallow draft operation and stress-free operation among lobster pots.

Built to a high standard and with timeless design, there are many reasons these compact luxury yachts have become an “insiders’ choice” of yacht industry professionals.  This example was meticulously specified at her original build and has been continually updated to provide comfortable, care-free operation.  Don’t miss a rare opportunity to own this outstanding, late model example of the breed.

• Very late hull (#36 of 41 built)
• High quality construction, and light weight (cored, E-glass + Kevlar hull)
• Quiet and fuel-efficient (low vibration, cruise at 25 kts at 1 nm/gallon)
