1995 Bayliner 3258 Avanti

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much thought went into making this 3258 feel larger than her length. The wide beam gives the salon a surprising amount of breathing room, with big windows that keep everything bright even on overcast days. The two-stateroom layout means you can actually travel with another couple or tuck the kids away with real privacy, not just a curtain. Up on the bridge, the elevated helm offers a commanding view for docking and sightseeing, and the molded stairs from the cockpit make it easy for everyone to move between levels safely. Generous storage throughout lets you keep cruising gear, water toys, and provisions on board without cluttering up the living space.

In this region, conditions can shift from calm to choppy in a hurry, and the 3258’s hull form and broad stance deliver the kind of stability that keeps everyone comfortable. The flybridge gives you a clear vantage point for navigating busy waterways while still staying connected to the action in the cockpit. Below, the efficient layout—with a proper galley, enclosed head, and real sleeping cabins—makes weekend trips or extended stays practical instead of cramped. The generous cockpit works well for everything from setting the hook in a quiet cove to rafting up with friends. For local waters that demand versatility, this model offers an appealing balance of cruising comfort and easy handling.
