EL NINO
32' 1989 Bayliner 3288 Motoryacht
$39,000.00
Last Updated: 2025-10-20
EL NINO is a 32' Bayliner, the all-time best-selling boat in her class and continues to be very popular on the secondary. This isn't surprising as she's a well-designed and spacious family cruiser with a pleasing profile, dual helms and a clever midships stateroom tucked below the salon dinette...this means there's an aft stateroom, both innovative and unusual on a sedan style motor yacht.
The 3288 can be classified as a "Fast Trawler". This means they have trawler like characteristics and comforts, but with faster cruising speeds.
Some of her most desirable features include having three separate sleeping quarters (forward berth, salon berth via the convertible settee, and the aft cabin berth), the galley down which offers excellent storage and amenities, a full head with stand-up shower, dual helms both inside and on the flybridge, a large foredeck, a large cockpit suitable for fishing or hauling traps, and excellent range, fuel efficiency, and open water capability.
