1988 Wellcraft Scarab 38kv 'Miami Vice Edition'
Blue Lagoon Marine are excited to bring this legendary Scarab 38kv to the market.
If there is a boat that defines the golden era of offshore performance, this is it. This Wellcraft Scarab 38KV Miami Vice Edition is an unmistakable icon of late-’80s powerboating—aggressive lines, legendary Scarab pedigree and an incredible amount of performance.
Designed on the proven 38KV deep-V hull, this Scarab delivers the ride and stability that made the model a favorite at poker runs and offshore events. The narrow 8-foot beam, sharp entry, and stepped hull combine classic style with serious performance, whether cruising at speed or turning heads at the dock.
This Scarab isn’t just a boat—it’s a statement. From its long, low profile to its offshore racing heritage, the 38KV remains one of the most recognisable and collectible performance boats ever built.
