Bayliner Ciera 3055 Boats For Sale

The Bayliner Ciera 3055, also sold as the 305 Ciera Sunbridge, is a 30-foot express cruiser built to deliver more interior volume than its length suggests at a budget-friendly price point. Its wide beam opens up both the cockpit and the cabin, making it a practical weekend boat for a couple with room for a child. Used Bayliner Ciera boats for sale from the late 1990s, such as 1999 examples, turn up well maintained, often carrying a full canvas enclosure and a separate cockpit cover.

Power comes from twin gas sterndrives, and configurations vary across the run. Some boats carry twin 350 Mag engines rated 250 horsepower each on Bravo Two drives, while others are fitted with a pair of MerCruiser 5.0L 230 horsepower engines. On the water the 5.0L setup runs to about 39 mph and will edge toward 40 mph flat out, tracking straight at a 35 mph cruise. The engine bay is large enough to walk around for checking oil levels and belt tensions, and some boats add engine-bay heaters for year-round use, twin batteries, an automatic fire extinguisher, and a hot water tank.

The helm is built around a double-wide seat that can take two adults and a child, facing a dash trimmed in burl walnut. Instrumentation includes twin rev counters, twin oil pressure and temperature gauges, trim tabs, and later-style Quicksilver throttles. A VHF radio sits beneath the dash alongside the ignition switches, and electronics seen on these boats include a Humminbird depth finder, a center-mounted compass, and a GPS Map 298. Rocker switches handle cockpit lights, wipers, bilge pumps, the windlass, horn, and fans.

Deck layout starts at the bow with an electric windlass anchor on a pulpit, flat foredecks finished in non-skid, three deck hatches, and a walk-through windshield with side walkarounds. The cockpit seats up to six on U-shaped seating, with a companion seat to port and a wet bar fitted with stainless cup holders, a faucet, and a sink. The transom has a walk-through to port, a storage locker, a center-mounted ladder that tucks under the swim platform, a stainless grab rail, and a mount for a barbecue grill. Optional extras found on these boats include sunbathing cushions, a remote spotlight, navy-blue mood lighting, underwater lighting, soft-tread decking, and a built-in cool box.

Below deck the cabin is notably tall and bright for a 30-footer, with a forward V-berth lit by a center hatch and two side opening ports. The galley runs along the port side with a stainless sink, a two-burner alcohol/electric cooktop, a microwave, and a 110/12-volt refrigerator. A dinette table mounts in the saloon and drops down to form an extra berth, and the mid cabin spans much of the beam to give a sleeping space of roughly 7 to 8 feet for two adults and a child. The head is a solid fiberglass molded wet room with a pump-out electric toilet, a pull-out faucet for showering, and a shower pump switch. Climate control varies by boat, with air conditioning and heat on some and central heating with a cockpit outlet on others.

When weighing a Bayliner Ciera boat, condition of the canvas matters because a replacement canopy can run around £4,000, so an immaculate or recently replaced cover adds real value. Original vinyls that have held their color, a clean refrigerator, and documented maintenance history are good signs on used examples. One example offered for sale was priced at £49,995, giving a sense of where well-kept boats sit; check current Bayliner Ciera boats for sale listings for the engine package and equipment that suit your use.
