1996 Bayliner 2858 Ciera Command Bridge

Step aboard and you’ll notice the little things that matter on long weekends: wide side decks with secure bow access, generous salon windows that flood the cabin with daylight, and a command bridge that actually feels usable for more than just driving. The 2858’s raised dinette gives you a clear view outside while you eat or play cards, and converts quickly when you need extra sleeping space. Storage is better than most boats this size, with deep compartments under seats and clever galley cabinetry. Up top, the bridge layout keeps skipper and crew close, with comfortable seating and good sightlines for docking, trolling, or just people-watching on the water.

This 2858 Ciera Command Bridge lines up well with the mixed conditions found in these local waters. The hull carries enough beam and weight to feel stable when afternoon chop kicks up, yet still runs efficiently on longer runs to quieter anchorages. The flybridge gives you the visibility you want for tight fairways and busy weekend traffic, while the enclosed lower helm is a welcome retreat when the breeze turns cool or showers move through. With a practical cruiser layout, you can comfortably spend nights aboard, explore nearby coves, and still have a manageable size for moorage, storage, and launching with the included trailer.
