A Serious Pilothouse Yacht for Serious Cruising

Step aboard this Bayliner 5288 Pilothouse and you immediately understand why this model has achieved near-legendary status on the West Coast. This is not a typical Bayliner. This is a substantial, long-range cruising yacht built for owners who want real capability, real comfort, and unforgettable time on the water with family and friends.

From slow morning coffees underway to sunset dinners at anchor, this yacht delivers the space, stability, and systems to cruise confidently in comfort—season after season.

A Cut Above the Rest

At 47,560 lbs dry with a commanding 16-foot beam, the Bayliner 5288 is dramatically heavier and more robust than most yachts in her class. Construction includes syntactic foam between layers of woven fiberglass, delivering exceptional rigidity and insulation—with no wood in the hull sides or bottom.

Underwater, she carries oversized rudders and massive 3-inch stainless steel shafts, providing excellent handling, tracking, and durability. This is a yacht built to be driven, not drifted.

Designed for Real Cruising

The three-stateroom, two-head layout is perfectly balanced for family cruising or hosting guests. A full-beam midship master, open salon and galley, and a raised pilothouse with outstanding visibility create a space that feels far larger than expected—yet remains easily managed by a couple, especially with the Wesmar bow thruster.

The pilothouse is the heart of the boat: warm, protected, and ideal for long passages. The flybridge becomes your social hub—ideal for entertaining, sightseeing, or simply enjoying the ride.

Power, Range, and Independence

Twin MAN 610 hp diesel engines with approximately 1,450 hours provide strong, efficient performance. The stand-up engine room offers excellent access on all sides, making ownership and maintenance straightforward.

With a new Nex-Gen 9.5 kW generator, Magnum inverter, watermaker, and four-zone air conditioning, this yacht is designed to cruise independently and comfortably—anywhere, anytime of year.
