Broker's Comments

A strong, seaworthy and well maintained work boat, this Aquastar 38 is certified Cat 2 until the 5th of September 2019 (it can take up to 14 persons up to 60 miles from a safe haven).

Built in Guernsey, the Aquastar 38's are proven, popular and well respected workboats within the commercial industry.

This no frills example comes with a good navigation fit, a wheelhouse with 6ft 7in headroom, a large, spacious cockpit/working deck space and a 2007 300hp diesel Volvo Penta engine (plus a separate 2015 Beta engine to run hydraulics).

There is an Aquastar owner's/enthusiasts club and vessels on the secondhand market usually sell quickly.
