This 2002 San Juan 38 is a classic Downeast cruiser defined by thoughtful ownership and continuous upgrades. The yacht measures 40 feet with a 12-foot beam and draws on the San Juan's reputation for handcrafted interiors and exceptional fiberglass construction. Twin Yammer diesel engines produce 880 horsepower combined, paired with bow and stern thrusters for responsive maneuvering. The boat cruises at 28 knots and reaches 34 knots at top speed.
Recent major work includes new fuel tank installation, fresh bottom paint, and approximately $35,000 invested in engine restoration and upgrade. The varnish and brightwork have been professionally refinished, and the teak decking has been restored. Electrical systems were upgraded, and new navigation equipment includes a Garmin chartplotter. Bow and stern thrusters are newer Side Power units. A Highfield dinghy package is included.
Below decks, the yacht accommodates two cabins and one head, with the interior maintained in line with the overall care the boat has received. The layout reflects classic yacht design, combining livability with the direct-drive character that distinguishes this model from contemporary alternatives. This San Juan 38 stands as a capable cruising platform suitable for extended voyages along the Chesapeake and beyond.
