1995 Bayliner Capri

Step aboard this mid-90s Capri and you’ll feel that classic runabout charm right away. The helm layout is simple and intuitive, with clear gauges and controls that make it easy for newer captains to feel at home. The wraparound windshield offers good protection on breezy days while still keeping the cockpit feeling open. Many owners appreciate how light this hull feels on the water, giving a lively, responsive ride without feeling twitchy. The bow area has that deep, secure feel that keeps kids and guests comfortable underway. With its modest draft, it’s happy nosing up toward sandbars and quiet coves where bigger boats can’t follow, turning ordinary days into small adventures.

This Capri is particularly well-suited to the sheltered bays, winding rivers, and inland lakes common in the area. Its size makes it easy to trailer, launch, and retrieve at local ramps without a big learning curve, and storage is rarely an issue in typical neighborhood driveways or small marinas. The hull handles afternoon chop with confidence while still being efficient enough for long, relaxed cruises along the shoreline. On calmer days, it’s an easy match for casual tubing runs and impromptu swims off quiet beaches. For boaters who split time between quick after-work runs and full weekend outings, this model fits the local lifestyle remarkably well.
