Broker's Comments
This great looking Prima 38 really looks the part - nice and clean, fantastic contemporary looks and performance potential to go with it!
First impressions are excellent - inside and out. Outside, she's well equipped, with a HUGE selection of exotic sails, a spacious and well laid out cockpit and her upper deck is easy to move around.
Down below are really light, spacious living quarters, with three cabins, a good sized galley, separate navigating area and heads/shower compartment. Clean and laid out in contemporary fashion, this should really work for you - whether cruising, or settling down for some racing!
There are signs of wear and tear, as you'd expect to find on this type of yacht, but I couldn't see anything beyond the norm.
All in all, if you're after a beautiful looking yacht for cruising weekends in comfort and style, or if you're looking for a performance yacht to race around the cans at your yacht club, then this boat could well tick both boxes for you - an early visit to see her is recommended.
