1997 Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse

Serenity Afloat is a thoughtfully updated 1997 Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse offering the space, comfort and cruising capability that have made this model so popular.

She was purchased by her current owners in 2018 and moved to Georgian Bay. Since then, they have continued to invest in her interior, equipment and onboard systems.

Her desirable layout includes a raised pilothouse, dual helm stations, three private staterooms, two heads, a spacious salon, full galley and a large flybridge for dining and entertaining. Twin 370 hp Cummins diesels, upgraded Raymarine electronics, Victron lithium power and a long list of recent improvements make Serenity Afloat equally appealing for extended cruising, weekends aboard or seasonal liveaboard use.
