Bayliner 2355 ready for boating fun
Anyone looking for a sporty cabin cruiser with surprisingly generous living space will find this 1996 Bayliner 2355 an appealing candidate. She is 7.12 metres long and 2.54 metres wide, with a draft of around 0.60 metres. Thanks to her GRP hull with V-bottom, the Bayliner feels at home on inland waterways, lakes and rivers. The previous owner mainly used her from Workum for day trips, with the convenient option to stay overnight whenever it suited. That type of use suits her well: compact enough to head out quickly, yet spacious enough to make a weekend on the water genuinely comfortable.


On board, it’s immediately clear that the layout is designed for relaxed cruising and spending time together. In the cockpit you sit sheltered and comfortably, with features including a cockpit table and a cockpit tent for extra comfort in changeable weather. The swim platform with swim ladder makes a dip or a swim stop along the way even more inviting. Fenders and lines are included, as well as cover(s). Everything visible in the photos is included, so you have a clear picture of what you are buying at auction.



How does this Bayliner 2355 handle with the MerCruiser 4.3LX?
She is powered by a 1996 MerCruiser 4.3LX inboard petrol engine with 200 hp. Starting is electric, and while underway you can monitor the basic readings via instruments including a tachometer and fuel gauge. This engine setup suits the character of the Bayliner 2355 well: lively enough for sporty cruising, yet also pleasant for relaxed cruising. Steering is via a wheel from the outside helm position, providing a direct and clear feel in the cockpit.



Can you comfortably stay overnight with four people?
Yes, she offers four fixed berths, making her interesting for couples, young families or friends who like to stay aboard after a day on the water. Inside you’ll find practical accommodation with mattresses, a dinette, a refrigerator and a shower. This makes her not only a day boat, but also a great weekend boat. That combination—lots of space in a relatively compact size—is exactly what makes this model popular with watersports enthusiasts looking for flexibility.



What is known about maintenance and recent work?
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The most recent antifouling treatment was carried out in 2025. Documentation is available in the form of a VAT declaration and maintenance invoices, which is useful for anyone who wants insight into usage and work carried out. Shore power is available on board, as well as a battery charger—handy when she is in the marina and you want to use the onboard systems.



Are there any points to consider?
There is one known point of attention: the exterior cushions show some damage from use. This is mainly cosmetic and fits a boat that has been used as intended. No other specific defects have been reported. Anyone looking to buy a Bayliner 2355 via a boat auction is of course advised to review the photos carefully and, where possible, schedule a viewing to form their own impression of her condition and finish.



This Bayliner 2355 is an inviting GRP sport cruiser for leisure boating, weekends away and holidays on inland waters. She combines a practical cabin with a sociable cockpit and a powerful MerCruiser inboard. A great choice for anyone who enjoys setting off from the marina, wants to swim along the way, and likes having the freedom to stay overnight on board at the end of the day.
