1999 Bayliner 4788 Pilot House Motoryacht Boat in Emeryville, CA 94608 US

The Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse Motor Yacht offers several practical advantages, especially for San Francisco Bay and Delta cruising:

All-weather operation. The enclosed, heated pilothouse provides a protected helm for cold Bay mornings, summer fog, wind and spray. Large forward windows give the operator excellent visibility without requiring everyone to remain exposed on the flybridge.

Two useful helm stations. The lower pilothouse is ideal for rough or unfavorable weather, while the flybridge offers outstanding visibility and an open-air driving experience on warmer Delta days.

Excellent docking access. Port and starboard pilothouse doors allow the operator to step quickly onto the side decks when handling lines. This is particularly valuable when cruising with a small crew.

Commanding visibility. The elevated pilothouse provides a clear view over the bow and surrounding traffic, while keeping navigation electronics, controls and charts together in a dedicated operating area.

Comfortable cruising companionship. A raised settee beside the helm lets family and guests enjoy the passage with the operator rather than remaining isolated in the salon.

Separation of operating and living spaces. The pilothouse keeps navigation activity away from the main salon and galley, making the yacht feel more like a much larger cruising vessel.

Interior access to the flybridge. The internal staircase provides convenient, secure movement between helm stations without requiring the operator or guests to use an exposed exterior ladder. The 4788 also combines this arrangement with a spacious salon, full galley and three-stateroom, two-head layout. 

Efficient use of length. The raised pilothouse creates substantial usable volume without sacrificing the salon, accommodations or exterior entertaining areas. This is one reason the 4788 is widely regarded as offering exceptional space and cruising capability for a yacht of its size. 

For MAD FIN, the pilothouse configuration makes her particularly attractive as a year-round Bay and Delta cruising yacht: protected when the Bay is cold and windy, yet open and sociable from the flybridge when conditions are pleasant.
