Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse Motor Yacht. Great for cruising and/or as a live-aboard. Boat also set up for sportsfishing. Equipped includes Maximizer outriggers, step-mounted bait tank and fish finders on flying bridge and fantail cockpit.

Captain's Notes:

Step aboard and you can tell this 4788 has been in the same hands since day one. The layout still shines as one of Bayliners smartest. Its an easy flow from fantail cockpit to salon and galley. Both are on the same level. Three steps up to pilothouse with lower helm and wraparound seating for guest. The pilothouse makes long weekends feel effortless as both sleeping and dining are on separate levels from the navigation. Big windows flood the interior with light and give you a clear view of the spread while lines are out. Below, the three-stateroom, two-head layout means family or crew can actually settle in instead of living out of duffel bags. Wide side decks and secure railings make docking or setting fenders simple, even shorthanded, and the interior steps up to the bridge are a welcome change from steep ladders when the boat is moving.

Why a 4788 Pilothouse Yacht:

This 4788 really comes into its own in these waters, where conditions can change from flat calm to choppy in a single afternoon. The efficient semi-displacement hull is happy loafing along on a slow cruise for fuel-conscious passages, yet has the power to push through afternoon chop comfortably. A true pilothouse with inside helm and good sightlines means youre not exposed when the breeze turns cool or the rain drifts through, while the covered cockpit and flybridge keep the crew outside and enjoying the day. Generous tankage, real storage, and a practical liveaboard layout make it easy to stretch cruises into weeks instead of weekends.
