As soon as you go down the companionway you’ll understand why Southerly have such a good reputation with a brilliant finish all around and a great use of space. To the port side is an L shaped galley comprising of a gimbled 2 burner gas stove with an oven & grill, 240v microwave, 75l top loading fridge and sink. There are plenty of storage options making cooking on longer cruisers possible. The navigation table is to starboard with access to all the necessary nav equipment.

The main cabin is aft with a generous double bed with seating either side of the bed. The heads is en-suite with a door leading to the saloon as well, basic sea toilet with a Smart Cover over the top which doubles as seat for when you’re showering.

The saloon is forward with a great space having L shaped seating to port with bench style seating starboard. The upholstery is Alcantara Blue 6801 and appears to be in great condition. The table houses the keel and lifting system with raisable sides to comfortably sit 7-8 people all around.

Broker's Comments

Southerly are incredible boats getting the perfect balance between comfort and performance. The 38 has a serious ‘big boat’ feel to it with its impressive use of space.

This example has been well looked after and boasts an impressive inventory including an array of top of the range navigation equipment, twin foresails, bow & stern thruster and an upgraded 56hp engine to name but a few.

The huge boost for southerly is having a lifting keel system making the draft as low as 0.8m meaning that exploring the shallower water as well as beaching is a real option.

If you’re in the market for a serious cruiser that will please any experienced or inexperienced sailor then this Southerly 38 will be perfect.
