Stepping aboard Aqua Ma'am, it's easy to see why the 38 is one of Ocean's most beloved models. The large, functional cockpit and spacious flybridge prepare this vessel for bluewater adventures. Inside, you're welcomed by a roomy interior featuring beautifully varnished teak and a full galley to the port side. The generous L-shaped lounge provides exceptional comfort. The well-designed floor plan includes a master stateroom situated at the bow and twin single berths on the port side. The wide-open salon is achieved by extending the house forward on the foredeck and cleverly placing the guest berths beneath the galley.
The hull, a vibrant Seafoam Green was painted in 2020, while the cockpit, foredeck, and superstructure were also painted with Awlgrip in April 2021. The most recent bottom paint was in April 2021.
