About
1990 Bayliner 3888 “Hold Fast”
“Hold Fast” is a boat worth taking the time to explore. Before simply scrolling through the specifications, we encourage potential buyers to spend some time with the extensive photo gallery, watch the full walk-through video and explore the 360-degree immersive tour. Together, they provide an excellent opportunity to see the condition, layout, equipment and level of care that set this boat apart.
There are plenty of older boats available at attractive prices. The difference is what happens after you buy one.
It is not unusual to purchase a boat of this age in the $50,000–$60,000 range and then spend the next several years chasing deferred maintenance, replacing tired equipment and slowly working toward the boat you really wanted in the first place.
“Hold Fast” represents a very different opportunity.
These are the type of owners you want to buy a boat from. Over their ownership, they have taken a Bayliner 3888 — a model already known for an exceptionally practical and comfortable layout — and continually invested their time and money into making her as comfortable, reliable and current as possible.
Rather than simply maintaining what was there, they have upgraded the areas that matter. Electronics, heating, solar, upholstery, carpets, canvas and tender systems have all received attention, along with continued investment in the mechanical side of the boat.
The result is a 3888 that does not feel like a tired older boat waiting for its next owner to start spending money. “Hold Fast” has already benefited from years of thoughtful ownership and improvement.
Just as importantly, she has spent the past 13 years in the same covered slip, protected from the Pacific Northwest weather. That covered moorage is available to the next owner, providing a rare opportunity to purchase not only a well-kept boat, but also a place to keep her.
Key Features
Mechanical & Systems
Significant attention has also been paid to the mechanical and onboard systems:
The Bayliner 3888
The 3888 has long been one of Bayliner's most successful cruising layouts. The large salon, lower galley and dinette, two-stateroom accommodation and two heads provide an impressive amount of usable interior space for a boat of this size.
The command bridge provides excellent visibility and generous outdoor seating, while the protected cockpit and practical side decks make the boat equally suited to extended cruising, entertaining or weekends at the dock.
“Hold Fast” combines that proven layout with something much harder to find in a boat of this vintage: long-term covered storage and owners who have continued to invest in keeping the boat current, comfortable and ready to enjoy.
For a buyer considering an older cruising boat, the value is not simply in what you pay on the day you purchase it. It is also in what you do not have to replace, repair and upgrade after you take ownership.
That is where “Hold Fast” stands apart.
