Description

Get ready to be impressed by the sleek, stylish lines of the Cruisers 3870 Esprit—a yacht that brings innovative design and upscale comfort to a whole new level! A thoughtfully crafted, scaled-down version of Cruisers Yachts' flagship 4270, this 3870 surprises with a brilliantly laid-out interior, featuring a rare amidships stateroom complete with a stand-up dressing area and its own private head with shower—an exceptional find in a boat this size.

Step into the spacious, wide-open salon, where you'll find a convertible sofa/dinette to port and a fully equipped galley to starboard—perfect for entertaining or extended cruising. Forward, the island berth offers comfort and convenience, flanked by generous storage and separated from the salon with a privacy curtain. Meanwhile, the aft stateroom offers true privacy with a bulkhead door and its own private ensuite head featuring a separate enclosed stall shower.

Topside, the cockpit is built for fun and relaxation, with an L-shaped lounge opposite the helm, a large U-shaped seating area aft, and a built-in wet bar—an entertainer’s dream! A cockpit hatch gives easy access to the clean, well-organized engine compartment, where you’ll find twin 7.4L MerCruiser Horizon engines and a Kohler 8kW generator for off-grid power. To round it out, there’s a generous extended swim platform with dinghy cradle and dinghy included—ready for your next adventure!

This is more than a boat—it's your floating getaway.
