This 1988 Carver 38 Santego is a fiberglass flybridge cruiser powered by twin Crusader gasoline engines producing 700 horsepower. The boat cruises at 15.6 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 21.7 knots. With a 38-foot length and 14-foot beam, the design offers solid proportions for coastal and extended cruising.
The interior includes a forward stateroom, full galley, bright salon, and head with separate shower. The flybridge and cockpit provide ample space for entertaining and navigation, with good visibility across the boat. Recent updates to the interior include new flooring throughout the living spaces, creating a refreshed feel in the cabin areas.
Recent improvements to the exterior include new upholstery, new bimini tops, and turf decking. A new holding tank was installed in 2024. The twin Crusader engines have approximately 778 hours of service time. Engine maintenance was performed in 2024, and the starboard engine received a new distributor in 2025.
