Overview

Navigating Leisure and Luxury: Introducing "Coop", a beautifully maintained 2007 Bayliner 288 Command Bridge Cruiser that delivers comfort, capability, and value in a highly sought‑after mid‑size package. With her dual‑helm layout, bright and inviting interior, and reliable MerCruiser power, Coop is an ideal choice for families, weekend cruisers, and anyone seeking a turnkey entry into the cruising lifestyle.

Measuring just over 30 feet with a 10'2" beam, the Bayliner 288 offers a commanding presence on the water while remaining trailerable (trailer not included).
