Overview
“Delphin” is an excellent example of the sought-after Bayliner 288 Classic — a versatile family cruiser offering generous accommodation, capable performance, and a sociable layout both above and below deck.
Powered by the desirable Mercruiser 350 MPI 300hp petrol engine, this 288 Classic delivers the perfect balance of speed and efficiency for relaxed coastal cruising or weekends away. Only 20 hours run since a full engine and leg service in 2023, she presents beautifully throughout and is ready to go.
