Classic Flybridge Cruiser — 1989 Bayliner 3888 Motor Yacht | Moore Haven, FL | $55,900
A well-maintained 38-foot flybridge cruiser offered in excellent condition by a private owner. This 1989 Bayliner 3888 Motor Yacht presents a rare opportunity to step into a spacious, twin-diesel liveaboard-capable cruiser at an accessible price point. She is ready to cruise the Florida waterways and beyond.
Power is provided by twin Hino EH 700 diesel inboards producing 175 hp each (350 hp combined) with 2,229 hours logged — a testament to the diesel reliability that makes this platform so appealing for extended coastal cruising. Diesel power means lower fuel costs per mile compared to gas-powered alternatives, and the Hino EH 700 is a proven, robust marine diesel known for longevity when properly maintained.
The flybridge is finished in white with blue accents and seats six comfortably, making it an ideal perch for entertaining or navigating open water. A second helm station in the salon provides all-weather command — a hallmark of the flybridge cruiser layout that serious cruisers value for versatility in changing conditions.
Below, the interior is spacious and well-appointed with a full salon, galley, two staterooms, and two heads featuring a shared tub/shower. Tinted windows surround the entire salon and galley, providing privacy and light control. The lighting has been updated throughout to LED, and a bar sink with small refrigerator in the salon adds a nice entertaining touch.
