AQUASTAR GUERNSEY C.I. Aquastar Oceanranger 38 in vendita (1999) in Poole, Regno Unito

The Aquastar Oceanranger 38 is a standout vessel in the Aquastar range. Not only does FURIE offer sensational living space, but she is also exceptionally well-finished by Jansma Jacht of Sneek, Holland — to a level rarely achieved outside of Dutch boatbuilding. Powered by a thoroughly reliable and well-maintained Caterpillar 350HP engine (whisper-quiet thanks to very effective noise attenuation), she is a joy to cruise. Her decks are safe and easy to work on, she features a wonderful aft cockpit, and her purposeful, charming looks will never go out of style. Viewing is strongly recommended.
