1997 Bayliner 3788 Command Bridge Motoryacht

The 1997 Bayliner 3788 Command Bridge is a 38-foot diesel-powered motoryacht built on a fiberglass hull. Twin Cummins 5.9L marine diesel engines deliver 270 horsepower each, with port and starboard engines logged at 1,695 and 1,704 hours respectively. The yacht is equipped with a 5 kW Northern Lights diesel generator (1,209 hours), diesel-fired heating throughout, and a Reverso automatic oil change system that streamlines engine maintenance. Shaft drive propulsion with marine transmissions, trim tabs, and hydraulic steering provide reliable performance and handling. A 30-amp shore power inlet supports electrical systems divided between house and starting battery banks with selector switches.

The Command Bridge design offers commanding visibility and generous seating on the upper helm station, complemented by wide side decks with high bulwarks for safe deck movement. Below, the lower helm provides a secondary control position. Both helms feature dual station instrumentation; the upper helm includes a RayMarine chartplotter, Uniden VHF, and autopilot controls, while the lower helm has a Standard Horizon plotter and Icom VHF. Additional navigation and safety equipment includes depth sounder functionality and autopilot systems.

The interior layout maximizes space with a bright, open salon featuring a large U-shaped dinette and comfortable settee. The galley-up design includes a double sink, three-burner cooktop, microwave, refrigerator, and extensive cabinetry. The master stateroom forward has a walk-around island double berth with storage; a separate guest stateroom provides additional sleeping quarters. A full head with separate shower and bathtub completes the accommodations.

The yacht comes equipped with Seawise davits, a tender, and an outboard. The boat has been boathouse-kept, providing protection from weather and sun exposure.
