The Bayliner 3255 Avanti Express has earned its place among mid-range sport cruisers for its good looks and extensive list of standard features. No other express-style cruiser in its class offers its room and comfort below decks. Exceptionally large windows admit plenty of light for an open, airy feeling. Accommodations include forward V-berth that doubles as a lounge with removable table, four-place dinette, private double mid berth, complete electric galley, and private head with shower. Topside, the large open cockpit opens to the swim platform via a fully-integrated transom door. Integral bow platform, radar arch, a full acrylic canvas weather enclosure, VHF radio, trim tabs, 30-amp dockside power, and compass are among the 3255's standard features. Bayliner's Avanti line combines dramatic, contemporary styling and leading-edge design with old-world skill and craftsmanship. With its spacious cockpit and seating area, the Avanti is perfect for all-day cruising or entertaining.

Accommodations:
Sleeping Capacity
The 3255 Avanti can usually sleep 4–6 adults comfortably:
- Forward V-berth
The bow area converts between a lounge/dinette and a double berth. Many owners leave it set up as a bed full-time. - Mid-cabin double berth
Located under the cockpit, this is a private aft sleeping area with decent headroom for a mid-cabin cruiser of the era. It’s one of the stronger features of the boat. - Convertible dinette
The salon table drops to form another berth suitable for kids or an extra adult.
Many listings describe it as a “floating condo” because of how much interior volume Bayliner packed into the 11-foot beam.
Cabin Layout
The interior is arranged in a pretty traditional express-cruiser layout:
- Forward berth/lounge
- Convertible dinette
- Full galley
- Enclosed head with shower

An accordion-style privacy door separates the forward berth from the salon area.
