About

Inspired by the success of the Bluestar 29.9, the 38 is unique in her class. Built using the latest materials and technology, the highly efficient deep-v hull gives a smooth soft ride at any speed in any conditions. The Bluestar 38 is powered by twin Yanmar 315 hp turbo diesels as standard. Greater power options are available up to 440 hp.

The interior of the 38 features an “inclusive” layout offering a seamless flow between the exterior and interior spaces. The design achieves openness and light by eliminating the walls and expanding windows.

Forward is an island double bed with ensuite access to the head and shower. Elegant, highly varnished solid teak joinery throughout the interior visually connects the open spaces of the boat. The large galley is completely open to the helm and the sky above. A large dinette is to starboard which converts to an excellent bunk for two.

A proper helmsman’s bench seat opposite an oversized navigation station have an open connection to the galley below. The helm is bright and far more spacious than any other yacht in her class. The open cockpit provides ample storage and the side decks are generous and easily navigated. The Bluestar 38 maximizes comfort and livability by providing wide open spaces and a panoramic view of the water.
