1988 MARINER 1988 MARINER 3800

The 1988 Mariner 3800 Flybridge is a well-regarded New Zealand-built launch offering serious cruising capability at a compelling price. Designed and constructed by Mariner Cruisers, this 38-foot vessel combines solid fibreglass construction with a practical layout suited to family adventures, extended weekends, and coastal passages alike. Twin 165hp Volvo Penta diesel engines - recently serviced and running through heat exchangers - deliver a comfortable cruising speed of 10-12 knots and a top end of 15 knots. Four stainless steel tanks hold 1,100 litres of diesel, providing impressive range and flexibility for longer voyages. The 3.2m beam and shallow 1.1m draft ensure excellent stability and access to shallower anchorages. Accommodation is generous for up to six, with a well-equipped galley featuring a gas hob and oven, 12V fridge/freezer, and ample storage. A 400-litre freshwater system with pressure hot water adds real comfort at anchor or underway. One head and two showers - including a handy aft deck shower - complete the practical interior. A standout feature is the complete 12V rewire, offering modern reliability and peace of mind. All-Garmin navigation electronics include depth sounder, radar, and autopilot, complemented by Sea Zone system controls and a GME VHF radio. Price reduced and very negotiable - located in Whangarei.
