Sea Ray 380 Sundancer Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray 380 Sundancer is a sub-40-foot sport cruiser built across model years from 1999 through 2006, and listings of the Sea Ray 380 Sundancer for sale span that range. It suits buyers who want overnight accommodations and serious cockpit social space in a boat under 40 feet, with a profile marked by porthole windows, stainless steel rub rails, and on some hulls a stainless steel windshield frame. The wide beam carries through the interior, giving the cockpit room for six to eight people around a table that stows beneath the engine hatch or, on other layouts, under the forward bed.

Power on the Sea Ray 380 Sundancer is gas inboard. Early hulls run twin 7.4L MerCruiser 380 Horizon engines (also designated 7.4 MPI Horizons), while later and repowered boats carry twin Mercury Horizon 8.1L engines. Hour counts vary widely by example, from boats around 500 hours to others near 1,280 hours. Some boats include a Westerbeke 7.2kW generator with separate running hours, though at least one example had its original generator removed in favor of a lithium battery and inverter setup with Starlink.

The helm pairs a captain's chair with a flip-up bolster and a double-wide companion seat. Electronics differ by boat and many have been upgraded: full Furuno packages with NXT radar and a duplicated display below, Garmin touchscreen units with radar, and Raymarine GPS chartplotters paired with Raymarine autopilot. VHF radios include Icom M506 units with AIS tied into the chartplotters. Standard helm features include trim tabs, a tilt wheel, an anchor windlass, and a spotlight controlled from the dash.

The cockpit carries a full camper-back canvas enclosure with Eisenglass and zip-up or roll-up side screens, a wet bar with sink, and a refrigerator along the port side. The swim platform is often finished in SeaDek and rigged with a Weaver davit system and a Magma barbecue mount for a tender. Headroom in the cockpit reaches about 7 feet. Side steps on each side give access to a large bow with stainless cleats and a sun pad.

Down below, the 380 Sundancer uses one of the more practical sport cruiser layouts. The forward master state room has an island or oversized queen berth with access on both sides, a sliding pocket door for privacy, hanging lockers, and roughly 6.5 feet of headroom. The standout feature is the split head: vanity and toilet on the port side with a separate walk-in stall shower to starboard, accessible both from the master and as a day head off the salon. The galley includes a refrigerator-freezer, microwave, double-burner electric stove, and sink, often set against a cherry interior. The mid-cabin offers an L-shaped lounge that converts to a berth, and the salon dinette converts to an additional sleeper.

When evaluating a Sea Ray 380 Sundancer specifications sheet, weigh engine hours and whether the boat has been repowered, the condition and age of the canvas enclosure, and which electronics generation is installed. Freshwater, covered-slip or boathouse-kept boats tend to show better, with upgrades like engineered hardwood floors, updated JL and Polk audio, and added flat-screen televisions in the cockpit and cabins common on well-kept examples.
