Overview
"I don't want to manage a boat. I want to take four people out on Friday, sleep two couples aboard, and still be able to dock it alone on Sunday evening."
Who this boat is for
Owner-drivers and young families who want a genuine two-cabin weekender with a real separate head and a proper galley — without paying 40-foot berth fees, 40-foot fuel bills or 40-foot insurance.
Hisham's take
The SR38 sits below the award-winning SR41 in Bavaria's SR-Line and shares its designer, Marco Casali of Too-Design. Two cabins, a separate head with its own shower compartment, a full wetbar with electric ceramic hob, and a saloon that opens into the cockpit. Choose the Open Top with its folding soft roof or the Hard Top with fixed glass; both run twin sterndrives — 2 × 350 hp Volvo Penta V8 petrol as standard, 2 × 350 hp Mercruiser 6.2L, or 2 × 300 hp Volvo Penta D4 diesel. 500 L of fuel, 240 L of water, CE category B for eight offshore.
