To enhance livability, the innovative wheelhouse features a lift-up mechanism that seamlessly connects the interior with the cockpit, which is outfitted with a comfortable wet bar and table for entertaining. This design perfectly complements the bow area, which features a U-shaped sofa with a hi-low table.

The Open model features a suntop and a seamless salon layout that eliminates barriers, fostering a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces and creating an immersive experience with the sea and nature. Ideal for open-air excursions, this model boasts a spacious open deck complemented by refined oak furniture, perfectly blending functionality with sophistication.

The Fishing configuration is a versatile option that can be applied to both the Cabin and Open layouts. It includes a spacious sunbed on the foredeck, showcasing the boat's livability for leisure occasions. With an ergonomic layout and intuitive design, the Fishing configuration embodies practicality and elegance, making it perfect for day cruising, watersports, or fishing trips.

The Wayfinder 38 is equipped with outboard engines, offering configurations between a range of 300-425-horsepower engines. This setup ensures outstanding performance and reliability on the water.
