The 1990 Bayliner 3888 is a 38-foot fiberglass motoryacht powered by twin 5.7L US Marine gas engines producing 480 horsepower combined. The design prioritizes spacious, livable accommodations within a manageable hull, offering the comfort and amenities of much larger vessels in an easy-to-handle package. A 9 kW generator supports all onboard systems, and the boat carries 305 gallons of fuel, 80 gallons of fresh water, and 30–40 gallons of holding tank capacity.
The interior layout centers on two staterooms and two heads, with the forward stateroom featuring a private head and hanging locker. The main cabin and salon area are separated by a raised dinette to port, while the lower helm sits to starboard. A full galley includes an electric stove with oven, microwave, double sink, and large refrigerator with freezer. A notable feature is the combination tub and shower arrangement in the main head—rare for this size range. The salon seating converts into a double berth for additional sleeping capacity.
Topside, the boat features dual helm stations for flexibility in operation, a large swim platform with retractable ladder, and a full bimini enclosure with screen windows and camper top. The cockpit is fitted with SeaDek flooring, and the boat is equipped with dual 30 amp shore power hookups, a 12V electric anchor windlass, and separate heating and air conditioning in the main cabin and salon. Electronics include GPS, chart plotter, dual VHF radios, depth sounder, compass, and speed log.
Recent updates include both heads replaced in 2023, new starter battery and two 8D deep cycle house batteries installed in 2025, new front eisenglass in 2025, and bimini stitching redone in 2025. The boat has 1,811 engine hours on record. It includes a Bruce Danforth 33-pound anchor with approximately 150 feet of 5/8-inch chain and features ample engine room access from both the cockpit and salon for maintenance.
