1994 Bayliner 3888

DESCRIPTION

Happy Islander is a 1994 Bayliner 3888 with Twin Hino 210’s that have just over 500 original hours on the engines.  The previous owner was a farmer in the Tri-Cities area and mostly used it for weekend getaways on the Columbia River. He bought it from the original owner in Portland who also just used it for weekend getaways on the Columbia River.

She has been in freshwater for almost all of her life in the Portland area before being brought up to Everett in 2024. Since then she has been in a dry dock slip and only has seen salt water during the trip from Portland up to Everett.

She has been consistently kept up with a lot of recent work which you can find below.

Happy Islander has a hard top over the aft cockpit, with a full enclosure, adding to the overall usable space for the 3888. There is a bimini up on the flybridge as well and a flybridge cover for winter.

Down below as you walk through the companionway there is a large wraparound settee to port, which does have the table available if desired. The lower helm is to starboard with an ice maker and sink in the aft starboard corner of the salon.

Move down two stairs and the U-shaped galley is to starboard with lots of lighting and sightlines and a cabin with large berth to port. Just in front of the cabin is a dry head with a separate bath tub/shower stall that can connect to the master cabin.

The master has a walkaround island queen berth and its on day head.

Happy Islander is a well-kept, ready-to-cruise motor yacht that has transferable dry-dock moorage in Everett, WA
