ALL THE SPACE IS INSIDE!

Biggest 38’ family cruiser in the world.

The Selene 38 Voyager Aft-cabin is based on the successful Archer design with several technical improvements like  Diamond Sea Glaze sliding doors, optional Seakeeper gyro stabilization, Li-Ion batteries, a new electricity management system, a sea-chest for easier maintenance, an optional water maker with high-voltage auto-clean system, etc… A happy and classy gentleman’s yacht which has been cruising in British Columbia, the Bahamas, the Greek islands and South-East Asia for decades already. This beautiful and charming pocket yacht has always been incredibly popular because of its unique layout which guarantees privacy to four people or two couples. Because of its moderate size it can be hauled-out by the smallest Travelift and accommodated in almost any marina anywhere in the world. Thanks to its classic lines designed by Howard Chen and the legendary marine architect Ted Hood, winner of the 1972 America’s Cup, the Selene 38 Aft-cabin model is, and will remain, one of Howard Chen’s favorite yachts. When creating this yacht the designers adopted the unique concept of the “Whale Back” hull, that was a trademark of Ted Hood’s designs. This is why the aft cabin concept has so much headroom and space in the engine room. It probably has the best engine room layout for its size anywhere.

BEST ENGINE ROOM IN ITS CLASS

While the Selene 38 Voyager Aft-cabin is a legendary yacht, she doesn’t compromise on modern technology and first class components, like the recent addition of Diamond Sea Glaze doors, improved sound-proofing, optional air-conditioning, generator and larger aluminum fuel tanks for extensive cruising. Howard says that the best-selling yachts of all time were the Grand Banks 36-42, but when their production ended for a while Howard decided he wanted to bring a high quality compact trawler back to the market. He wanted to build an elegant yacht with traditional timber joinery, leather upholstery, teak & holly floors, a spacious interior with two cabins and two heads, a cozy salon, a practical galley and safe decks. The Selene 38 Voyager Aft-cabin is an excellent family cruiser, or the perfect Looper’s yacht. A tender finds its natural spot on top of the aft cabin where it can be loaded by a mast and boom.

Do not hesitate to contact us for more info : [email protected]

Many Selene 38 Voyager Aft-cabin make use of the mast for a steadying sail which gives the boat a classy « heritage yacht » style as well as a simple and maintenance-free stabilization system. And all this, including a flybridge with an outdoor deck salon, comes at an affordable price! As the entry level model of the trawlers range, the Selene 38 Voyager Aft-cabin is still a best-seller. We call it our “small super-yacht”, all the space is inside…

The Sabre 38 Salon Express: Elegant, Strong, Reliable, Seaworthy.

Her classic profile, energetic performance, precise controls, and low sound levels make the Sabre 38 Salon Express an icon of nautically sensible design.

All of these features wrapped up in classic Downeast lines make the Sabre 38 Salon Express “a boat that boaters recognize.”

The interior of the Sabre 38 Salon Express is an open design which suits a day’s outing with friends as easily as it does a longer cruise. Below, her galley, lower lounge, and master berth benefit from abundant daylight while providing a luxurious oasis for owners and guests. The roomy and versatile cockpit is the perfect outdoor space to compliment her equally clever salon.

For ease of handling the jib winches are positioned within easy reach of the helmsman. Optionally the 38 can be equipped with electric powered jib winches. Combined with a powered captive mainsheet winch and electric halyard winch, this will make trimming and hoisting the sails of the 38 foot yacht as easy as pushing a button.

The interior is light and airy with plenty of daylight and warm LED lights. The varnished mahogany furniture and ceiling in alcantara give the 38 an elegant and luxurious feel. The interior of the 38 ft sailboat offers sleeping space for three people. To complete the comfort of a daysailer, a toilet is convenient and neatly built in out of sight in the cabin.

The Eagle 38 can be personalized in many ways. Hull color, color of the Permateek deck and caulking, different wood finishes for the interior and by making your personal choice for the interior and exterior cushion fabric, you can design the Eagle 38 to your personal preferences. Furthermore, there are performance upgrades possible as for example different race orientated sails like North Sails 3Di sails and a carbon mast. Please contact  us to explore all the possibilities.

2020 Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS

• By Chris Caswell
• Updated: March 3, 2020

In case you haven’t realized, boats are like ice cream. You have to choose your flavor. Some are plain vanilla, some are chocolate, but Cruisers’ new 38 GLS is like the Neapolitan you remember as a kid. It blends the best of all flavors, and it satisfies, no matter what you are craving.

Want to go fast? Think 53 mph. Want to spend the night aboard? There’s a galley, shower and private stateroom. Want wind in your hair? Plant yourself in the bow seating for the ride of a lifetime. Want to just hang out at the local sandbar, splashing in and out of the water? Fold down the beach door that defines this versatile new water toy.

Interior and Accessories

I have no idea what GLS means. Great little ship? Whatever it stands for, it’s quite an amazing bow rider with outboard power, and also the amenities and craftsmanship found on the larger Cruisers Cantius yachts.

This isn’t Cruisers Yachts first foray into outboard-powered dayboats—that was the 338 OB. The 38 GLS proves a whole different vessel. For one thing, it offers the unforgettable beach door that turns a section of the starboard coaming into a fold-down addition to the cockpit, increasing space exponentially while replacing the transom platform lost to the outboards. It brilliantly delivers a great hangout area that’s popular when you’re at a sandbar or playing with water toys.

Cruisers took the concept one step further and—because parents want to keep an eye on their kids—the aft-facing bench backrest swivels to face the “beach,” so parents can do just that.

That takes care of the aft end of the cockpit, and there are still two L-shaped midship dinettes, both with tables, that can handle a mob for munchies from the mini galley. This is equipped with the good stuff, including a grill, sink, fridge and ice maker, but the interesting fillip is putting two bar stools at the forward end of the galley counter. This surprised me because it occupies space usually given to a forward-facing companion seat, but I found the stools very usable. They add two more people to the cockpit entertainment zone and can be used for supervising the beach, and because they tuck into the corner, I was comfortable while the 38 GLS was running.

The skipper gets the best seat in the house, of course, behind the blingy chrome-and-leather tilt wheel facing a black nonreflective dash inlaid with two rows of recessed push buttons for various systems. The joystick and throttle-shifter are exactly where you’d want them, and I liked that you look through the windshield when standing, rather than over it (or at the frame). The varnished nonslip footrest is at the perfect angle, and the seat bolster flips up for standing room if desired.

The portside walkway leads forward (with a closure door for wind and spray protection), and the U-shaped bow seating offers streamlined headrests on the forward-facing lounge. A removable table converts to a sun pad, and I liked the up/down buttons for the anchor windlass on the deck so you don’t have to open the rode locker.

Down below is a surprise to almost rival the beach door: more than 6 feet, 5 inches of headroom. There’s an enclosed head to starboard (6 feet, 2 inches of headroom—wow) with a full shower. The forward settee/dinette is convertible to a berth, but the 38 GLS has a private stateroom tucked under the cockpit with a 6 ½-by-4 ½-foot berth, which is bigger than a double but a couple of inches shy of a queen. That’s more than enough for overnighting and great for secure naps for the kiddies. And a nearby microwave handles morning coffee without leaving the cabin, which is thoughtfully provided with a screen door to eliminate no-see-ums.

Underway, the 38 GLS is fun, with plenty of punch from the standard triple Mercury Verado 300 hp outboards (350 hp Verados are optional), and we easily reached just shy of 53 mph with several people aboard and full fuel. These Mercs give you joystick maneuvering for docking, and they aren’t going to melt your credit card for fuel either.

No big surprises, but the seaworthy hull has two strakes on each side and chine flats to improve stability and throw spray aside. We did doughnuts on Tampa Bay, crossing our wake from every angle, and the 38 GLS maintained perfect poise throughout. The triple Mercs have plenty of punch if you want to yank all manner of water toys, reaching planing speed (25.3 mph) in just 5.5 seconds and flat-out in just 21 seconds.

An option is a 5.5 kW genset to power the air conditioning at anchor and/or the blender for piña coladas at the sandbar. I was surprised that a built-in vacuum is standard, but it makes sense to deal with sandy feet.

If you’re shopping around, take a look at the Sea Ray SLX400 ($708,552). It’s 3 feet longer, but has a similar layout in both the cockpit and cabin, with a beach door.

A sterndrive version of the 38 GLS is coming, mostly to satisfy hardcore out-drivers or freshwater skippers, and I wondered what was under the big compartment aft on the outboard version. Turns out, the entire seating package rises on gas lifts, revealing a cavernous storage area (or perhaps a mother-in-law suite).

The Cruisers 38 GLS is genuinely likable. Whether you prefer chocolate, vanilla or strawberry, this is one tasty treat.

How We Tested

• Engines: Triple 300 hp Mercury Verado
• Drive/Props: Outboard/Revolution 4 16″ x 18″ stainless-steel 4-blade
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 200 gal. Water on Board: 0 gal. Crew Weight: 850 lb.

High Points

• Flexible seating next to the beach door.
• Ignition interlock on the beach door prevents up or down use when engines are running.
• Great headroom, not just in the cabin but in the shower too.
• Dark cabin with only two small windows.
• Access to aft cabin is only 22 inches wide, making graceful access or egress difficult.
• Boarding gate to beach and transom is too low (14 inches) to be much use in slowing down kids.

IN STOCK:  This vessel may be available for accelerated delivery. Find out more .

Metal Shark’s proven 38 Defiant is popular among an ever-growing list of operators including US and foreign militaries, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, pilot associations, and commercial operators. Like all Metal Sharks, the 38 Defiant may be custom configured to accommodate a wide range of equipment specific to various mission profiles.

Hull Design

The 38 Defiant features a proven Metal Shark hull design that has been engineered and built to precise tolerances. To achieve its superior hull life rating of 30+ years, the hull is composed entirely of heavy, welded plates of premium-grade 5086 aluminum alloy. The 38 Defiant delivers a smooth ride in a wide range of conditions, and safely and capably handles rough seas. Whether fitted with triple outboards, twin diesel waterjets, or conventional straight shafts, the 38 Defiant’s advanced running surface delivers outstanding performance, and its 11’ 5” beam allows for extra stability while at rest. The product of advanced engineering, the 38 Defiant boasts a modern, crew friendly design that enhances crew comfort, safety, and operability.

Deck Layout

The 38 Defiant’s spacious pilothouse provides all-weather comfort and security for the entire crew, and thanks to Metal Shark’s signature Pillarless Glass pilothouse, it also offers best-in-class safety and visibility. Metal Shark implemented this design in order to significantly reduce the dangerous blind spots that are so prevalent in conventional pilothouse vessels, and the results are immediately apparent upon stepping aboard.

Inside the pilothouse, the entire crew benefits from the massive windows, overhead skylights, and large opening side and aft doors. Self-parking windshield wipers and window defrosters maintain visibility during inclement weather. The spacious port and starboard helm areas easily accommodate a wide array of custom-installed electronics, with additional mounting space available in the overhead electronics pod.

Aft Cockpit

Aft of the pilothouse, the 38 Defiant boasts a massive, wide-open working deck, with ample room for backboards or other equipment. Large, securely-latched hatches open to reveal the 38 Defiant’s roomy engine compartment, and gasketed dry storage lockers have been provided to port and starboard. Other notable features shown here include the optional machine gun mount and towing bit, line spool, and tubular aluminum swim platform with dive ladder.

Built to Last

Regardless of configuration, Metal Shark’s fanatical attention to detail is evident throughout, and all components are built to withstand a lifetime of use and abuse. Shown here are the 38 Defiant’s industrial grade welded cleats and forward towing bit, massive anchor locker, and 50-caliber machine gun mount, all crafted from corrosion resistant 5086 aluminum alloy. 3M Safety Walk non-skid has been generously applied to all walking surfaces, and the durable foam-filled collar that provides low-maintenance impact resistance during alongside maneuvers or while docking.

Twin Diesel Waterjet Configuration

The 38 Defiant shown here is equipped with twin Cummins 6.7L diesels mated to Hamilton 292 waterjets. This package delivers the reliability and economy of inboard diesels, plus the shallow-draft capability and maneuverability of water jet propulsion. By utilizing the water jet’s split-duct thrust-reversing “buckets,” the vessel can be brought from planing speed to a full stop within two boat lengths. Pivoting, turning, crabbing sideways, and other maneuvers are accomplished with ease. Top speed with this package approaches 40 knots.

Twin Straight-Shaft Inboard Configuration

The 38 Defiant pilot boat shown here is equipped with twin inboard straight-shaft diesels. This setup delivers economy and durable, dependable operation, easily serviceable anywhere in the world with basic tools and training. Available inboard power options includes twin Cat, Cummins, Volvo, and MTU options. Propulsion can be in the form of conventional shaft drive, waterjet, or pod propulsion systems. Note the shortened cabin and larger aft cockpit also shown on this configuration.

Triple Outboard Configuration

The 38 Defiant shown here is equipped with triple Mercury Verado 300 HP four-stroke gasoline outboard engines. This setup delivers higher top speeds and costs considerably less than the diesel waterjet setup, and offers the advantage of a compact, self-contained propulsion system installed completely outside of the boat. Set up as equipped, this vessel reaches a top speed of 50 knots. As an OEM installer for all major outboard manufacturers, Metal Shark can install the engine brand you prefer. Other noteworthy features shown here are the engine protection bar, port and starboard dive reliefs, and full bow rail.

Custom Capability

The Metal Shark 38 Defiant is a popular vessel for use in fire rescue or CBRNE response missions. Click to view the 38 Defiant in Fire/CBRNE configuration. Metal Shark is an engineering-centric company with its own in-house design firm composed of highly trained naval architects and marine engineers. Accordingly, we are highly capable when it comes to customizing vessels to meet even the most demanding mission requirements.

Custom Line Just Unveiled a New 127-Foot Superyacht in Venice—and We Got a First Look

The new navetta 38 belongs to ferretti group ceo alberto galassi., rachel cormack.

Digital Editor

Rachel Cormack's Most Recent Stories

This new 131-foot superyacht concept brings high architecture to the high seas, isa unveils a trio of sleek new superyachts, wider yachts is debuting a 92-foot hybrid catamaran at the venice boat show—here’s a first look.

• Share This Article

The world premiere of Custom Line ’s Navetta 38 funnily enough began on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (VSOE), with the superyacht of the hour more than 500 miles away.

Galassi is clearly masterful at catering to his clientele, or what he describes as “the most exclusive member’s club.” He knows they are accustomed to a luxury lifestyle: Dom Pérignon was free-flowing throughout the entire two-day affair and a dedicated crew was on hand to meet any demand. He also understands that most have an eye for aesthetics, and thus would appreciate the inlaid woodwork, Lalique crystal panels, and other intricate details of the train.

After just a couple of hours chugging through the breathtaking European countryside, I can already see that the CEO’s grandiose marketing ploy has paid off. The bar car is a sea of smiling faces, and I notice multiple owners carefully eyeing the detailed model of the Navetta 38 that sits on the piano. Galassi tells me later that the team sold the fifth hull on the train trip.

The Navetta 38 is the result of collaboration between the Custom Line team and the Ferretti Group engineering department, with Italian architect Filippo Salvetti shaping the exterior and Milanese firm ACPV Architects spearheading the interiors. The first unit, owned by Galassi himself, features a white superstructure and a gray, semi-displacement hull. I know, “gray” sounds rather boring, but this chameleon-like hue changed with the light throughout the evening. The hull looked pewter at cocktail hour and almost white later that night. It was my favorite thing about the exterior.

I take a tour of the interior with several journalists the following day. The living quarters are the epitome of quiet luxury, showcasing a subtle color palette, soft, curved lines, and an array of natural materials. Light oak runs across the floors, while raffia and leather adorn the walls. The bathrooms are decked out in pale Pietra d’Orcia stone and the beds are covered with neutral Frette bedding. Galassi’s comprehensive art collection provides the only real pop of color, actually.

The understated styling seems to reflect Galassi’s approach to design at large. The man is “obsessed with elegance,” by his own admission. He also says Italians are “condemned to beauty,” meaning they cannot even think of doing something ugly “because it’s against our historical tradition.” Furthermore, Galassi seems to be trying to counter the growing culture of excess. “Luxury is becoming vulgar. Luxury is becoming too flashy. Luxury is becoming a bit too arrogant,” Galassi tells us on the sun deck. “Now, is there a way of having luxury with elegance, low-profile luxury where the material speaks, luxury full of good taste? I think the answer is yes.”

With a beam of 26 feet and an interior volume of 300 GT, the yacht feels far bigger than my own, two-story London terrace. The layout is customizable, with an array of different configurations available. At the center lies an open-plan salon and dining room with sliding doors that open on each side to create an alfresco feel. The upscale owner’s suite is also positioned on the main deck—Galassi has a chic dressing room and a fancy steam shower in his—while four guest cabins and four crew cabins are located on the lower deck. Plush outdoor lounges adorn the aft decks and bow, while a full-beam beach club with fold-out terraces sits at the stern. The sundeck, Galassi’s favorite feature, offers a Jacuzzi, a bar, and sweeping views of Venice’s lagoon on this particular day.

Interestingly, Galassi says the technology is what sets the Navetta 38 apart from other vessels in her class. The yacht is equipped with cutting-edge anti-vibration, soundproofing, and stabilization systems. In addition, the high-tech helm, which is clad in a scratch-proof material called Fenix, looks straight out of a sci-fi film. Powered by MAN V-12 engines that can churn out 1,400 hp, the yacht has a top speed of 15 knots and a range of about 2,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. The Navetta 38 doesn’t have to stop in each country to switch engines like the VSOE, either.

As for future launches, Custom Line will debut a new range in the summer of 2026. The yard is also unveiling a 164-footer at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. That superyacht will be the largest Custom Line yet. One can only imagine what Galassi has in store for the premiere party, then.

MIAMI -- Investigators have identified the man who was operating the boat that fatally struck a 15-year-old girl off a South Florida beach and then left the area, but no criminal charges have been filed, according to a report released Wednesday.

The 78-year-old man owns the Coral Gables home where Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers found and seized the docked boat Tuesday afternoon. The man was the only occupant in the boat at the time of Saturday's hit-and-run crash that left Ella Adler dead, according to the commission's report.

A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesperson said the investigation was active and they couldn't speculate on what charges might be filed.

Adler and another girl were wakeboarding behind a 42-foot (13-meter) Hanse Fjord walk-around near Key Biscayne, just south of Miami, on Saturday afternoon before falling off at different spots, officials said. A dozen people had been on the boat pulling Adler. Before the vessel could return to collect her, Adler was hit by another boat, which immediately sped away, officials said. Witnesses described the hit-and-run craft as a center console boat with a light blue hull, multiple white outboard engines and blue bottom paint.

A funeral service for Adler was held Monday morning at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach. Adler was a freshman at Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove and a ballerina with the Miami City Ballet.

Orcas again sink yacht near Strait of Gibraltar as high-risk season looms

Two people were rescued after orcas hit the roughly 50-foot Alboran Cognac 14 miles off the coast of Morocco, the 26th orca encounter in the region this year.

The boat-sinking orcas are back.

Around 9 a.m. Sunday near the Strait of Gibraltar, two people on board the roughly 50-foot Alboran Cognac reported blows to the vessel’s hull and saw damage to the rudder as water flowed into the ship, Spain’s maritime rescue agency said.

An unknown number of killer whales had struck again, after hundreds of such encounters in recent years.

Over the radio, responders told the two individuals to put on their life jackets, make sure their GPS locaters were turned on and prepare for emergency evacuation. In the meantime, Spanish and Moroccan rescue agencies began urgently working to save them, locating a nearby oil tanker and electing not to dispatch a helicopter.

After about an hour, that tanker rescued the pair 14 miles off Cape Spartel in northern Morocco, the Spanish Maritime Safety and Rescue Agency (SASEMAR) said in a news release. The boat was left adrift and soon sank.

Spain-based Alboran Charter confirmed its ownership of the sunken vessel and said the individuals were customers. The company declined to say more about what happened or who the clients were.

Iberian orcas sinking a ship is not new. Over the past four years, at least 15 orcas have interacted with hundreds of boats sailing in the waters off Portugal, Spain and Morocco, sinking a handful of vessels in seemingly coordinated ambushes. Some ships have been found with teeth marks; others appear to have been rammed by an orca’s head or body.

On average, there have been 168 interactions each year since 2020, according to Grupo de Trabajo Orca Atlántica, or GTOA, a research group studying the region’s killer whales. GTOA has tracked 26 interactions so far this year, down from 61 through a similar time frame in 2023.

It’s not clear why the orcas have recently bumped, bitten and sank vessels. Some scientists say they are simply being playful, or maybe are curious, or perhaps are coming after boats because of a loss of prey. A handful say the actions could actually be gratifying to the whales.

A leading theory, though, is one of vengeance.

This idea, advanced by a scientist who has studied the encounters, posits that a female orca suffered a traumatic run-in with a boat that led her to start attacking the vessels. And because orcas are intelligent marine mammals that learn behaviors like hunting together, others followed.

But there is disagreement over this theory.

Some scientists argue that the incidents shouldn’t be called “attacks” without knowing the whales’ motives. They fear that label could prompt retaliation by boaters, calling it potentially “harmful” to the critically endangered species with just a few dozen members.

“Science cannot yet explain why the Iberian orcas are doing this, although we repeat that it is more likely related to play/socialising than aggression,” a group of more than 30 scientists wrote in an open letter last summer. “ … When we are at sea, we are in the realm of marine life. We should not punish wildlife for being wild.”

The letter explained that orcas have been observed developing “cultural ‘fads,’” including carrying dead fish on their heads, and the incidents with the boats may be nothing more than a “fashion trend.”

SASEMAR warned that the risk of the encounters is highest between May and August, recommending that boats avoid the area between the Strait of Gibraltar to the Gulf of Cádiz to its west. It added that if a boat comes across orcas, it should not stop moving, and instead should head toward the coast and shallower waters. People should not approach the side of the boat and are barred from using measures that could injure or kill the whales.

“It is possible the behaviour, as previous fads have,” the scientists wrote, “will disappear as suddenly as it appeared.”
