The guest stateroom is intelligently tucked beneath the raised dinette, maximizing interior volume while still providing a comfortable double berth and private access to the second head.
The bright, open salon is surrounded by oversized windows that create panoramic visibility and an airy feel rarely found in a 39-foot yacht. The raised galley and dinette arrangement keeps everyone connected while entertaining, making the 3988 an ideal platform for cruising, weekends aboard, or full-time living.
Additional factory highlights include:
- Spacious command bridge with seating for six
- Lower helm station for all-weather cruising
- Wide side decks for safe movement forward
- Integral swim platform with transom door
- Dual head configuration
- Excellent storage throughout
- Modified-V hull design for stable cruising performance
