Manufacture Description

Comfort aboard the Bayliner 5788 Pilot House Motoryacht begins with its superior ride and handling. The hull's fine forefoot gracefully broadens to a hard-chine modified V-bottom to provide a smooth ride and sharp turns. Twin diesel inboards deliver quiet, assured power and efficient all-day cruising. Exterior decks allow ease of movement and plentiful lounge seating while the spacious cockpit provides access to a large boarding platform aft. There is enough space for a tender up to eleven-feet in length. Its 800-gallon tankage brings distant cruise destinations within reach. The 5788's styling combines traditional ambiance and a dramatic contemporary line. Attention to detail and premium materials throughout - warm polished wood paneling and trim, solid-surface countertops, and wear-dated interior carpet complete an environment of luxury and lasting appeal. The main salon offers plenty of room for entertaining and has easy access to the pilot house. The lavishly appointed owner's stateroom ensures complete comfort. An entertainment cabinet and wet bar provide focus for social gatherings. The home-style electric galley offers full sized appliances and Avonite countertops. The main salon affords a sweeping view from the ergonomically designed L-lounge complete with high - low cocktail table and ottomans. The 5788 includes a fully-equipped pilot house, and the privacy of three separate and gracious staterooms. PROPULSION: Compact, powerful, and economical, diesel engines assure top-class propulsion, are environmentally compatible, and offer the advantages of low-cost, large-scale series production.
