Built on the legendary, bulletproof Evans 38 hull—renowned for its rugged, stable, and highly capable Chesapeake Deadrise heritage—this custom cruiser is the ultimate turnkey package for either a premium private charter operation or an exceptionally spacious family coastal cruiser.While many Evans 38s operate as rugged single-engine workboats, this vessel was highly customized for comfort and high-end entertaining, featuring a massive weather-protected wheelhouse and a sprawling, open cockpit perfect for sunset cruises, island excursions, or deep-sea fishing.Most importantly, this vessel represents a massive value add over other pre-owned options on the market. It underwent a comprehensive top-to-bottom refit in 2024, which included factory-installed brand-new twin 370HP Cummins mechanical diesel engines (fewer than 1,500 hours), a brand-new generator, completely updated climate control systems, and a fully modernized interior.Currently maintaining an active, flawless annual U.S. Coast Guard Certified COI for 12 passengers plus 2 crew, she is turn-key ready to generate revenue on day one, or serve as a rock-solid, reliable private cruiser.
