Details
Step aboard this immaculate 38-foot express cruiser and experience elevated comfort, style, and performance. With a spacious, open-plan interior and generous cockpit, the 3870 Esprit combines the luxury of a larger motoryacht with the easy handling and efficiency of a 38-footer ideal for weekend cruising, entertaining, or extended getaways.
Inside, you’ll find one of the most thoughtfully designed layouts in her class. The salon is bright and inviting with wraparound seating, large windows, and a fully equipped galley. Below, two private staterooms and two heads with showers offer true overnight comfort for family or guests.
Powered by reliable twin Mercruiser Horizon with 385 HP, she delivers a smooth, confident ride at cruising speeds around 25 knots, with top speeds near 30+ knots. Whether you’re cruising the Intracoastal or anchoring off the islands, this 3870 Esprit is turn-key and ready to enjoy.
Well-kept 3870 with 2024 Garmin 9”/7”/Radar, resealed transmissions (new clutch port), electric macerator head, new holding tank, solar + 200Ah house bank, OEM manifolds/risers, and comprehensive 2022 plumbing/canvas/galley/head refresh.
