Introducing the Mariners Choice Yacht, a distinguished name in the world of yachting and a proud success story of Brunswick, with a decade of excellence in production. Each year, around 100 of these esteemed yachts are crafted and sold, making the 3888 Motor Yacht (formerly known as the 3780 M/Y from 1983 to 1989) the perfect choice for discerning yachtsmen seeking a luxurious yet affordable diesel cruising experience. This model boasts numerous enhancements, including new Sunbrella canvas with a custom bridge enclosure, a custom hardtop, and freshly updated vinyl throughout the bridge and salon. Imagine having your own waterfront retreat at a fraction of the cost of traditional real estate. Upon arrival, you'll notice this particular 3880 Motor Yacht stands out as a meticulously maintained and upgraded vessel. Exterior enhancements include brand new canvas and crystal-clear isinglass windows, complemented by a unique custom hardtop. Access the inviting salon through a sliding glass door from the lower aft deck or via a port-side boarding ladder leading to the flying bridge. The upper deck comfortably accommodates up to seven with ample seating and a helm station, while the lower deck offers space for additional folding chairs. New waterproof seat covers ensure comfort, even in unexpected rain, and there are three portable seats available for the upper bridge. Inside, the main salon features seating for eight and a charming half-moon dinette on the port side, right across from the lower helm station—ideal for dining, games, or simply enjoying each other's company with a panoramic view. Added mini blinds and forward sunscreen provide privacy and relief from the sun on warm days. This yacht has been fully reupholstered with ultra-leather vinyl seating and new wall vinyl, giving it a fresh and contemporary ambiance reminiscent of its glory in 1994. The well-equipped galley is located mid-ship, just forward of the lower helm, featuring water filters, a convection oven, electric oven, and a double-door fridge/freezer. The recently installed laminated water-resistant flooring throughout the salon and galley ensures easy maintenance. Notably, the 3870/3888's innovative mid-cabin layout includes a queen/king berth that extends beneath the salon floor, two heads, and a bathtub. The spacious master stateroom at the bow has a walk-around island berth and an en suite head, with a total of two bathrooms in this configuration—one featuring a tub/shower stall. Built on a low-deadrise modified-V hull with V-drives, this yacht includes a standard lower helm in the salon, diesel auxiliary heating, engine heating for hot water, and an ice machine. Powered by robust 210Hp Hino 4-Cylinder diesel engines, the 3888 M/Y offers impressive fuel efficiency, cruising comfortably at 17-18 knots. Over 1,000 hulls were produced in 11 years, making this a reliable choice. **Available for use in Canada or the USA, with assumable moorage at Point Robert’s marina. This yacht is priced at one-third the cost of Greater Vancouver, and includes transferable yacht club privileges at over 12 cooperative marinas in Vancouver and the Gulf Islands for summer cruising. **Tender not included. **A valid marine survey report (2024) is available. Consider the option for TURN-KEY FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP with a 50/50 ownership opportunity.
