1989 Bayliner 3450 Avanti Sunbridge

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much natural light pours into the cabin for a boat of this vintage. Large windows and an open salon layout keep it feeling bright and social, even on overcast days. The helm is well‑positioned with good sightlines forward and aft, making docking less stressful for a bigger express cruiser. Engine access is straightforward through the cockpit, so routine checks don’t become a project. Wide side decks and solid rails give you confidence moving forward to handle lines or drop the hook. It’s the kind of boat where friends naturally gather in the cockpit, while the cabin stays cool and quiet for anyone slipping away for a mid‑day nap.

This 3450 Avanti really shines on broad, current‑driven waterways and long, winding channels. The deep cockpit and secure coamings feel comfortable when afternoon chop kicks up, while the beamy hull delivers a stable ride at both cruise and displacement speeds. With its express layout, you can easily pop out for a quick sunset run or stretch into a full weekend upriver without feeling cramped. The generous fuel and water capacities pair well with long no‑wake zones and distances between marinas, and the enclosed canvas options turn the cockpit into an extra room when the breeze gets cool off the water.
