Asta: 1996 Bayliner 2355

Bayliner 2355 now in the online auction. everyone can bid until 24 August 2026.


Bayliner 2355 spacious weekend cruiser
The 1996 Bayliner 2355 is the kind of boat that immediately makes you want to cast off. She combines the familiar character of an American sport cruiser with surprisingly generous living space for a length of 7.12 metres and a beam of 2.54 metres. From Workum, she has mainly been used for day trips on inland waterways, lakes and rivers, with the freedom to stay overnight along the way whenever it suited. That fits her character perfectly: a pleasant Bayliner cabin boat for those who love boating but also value comfort on board.


Her polyester hull with V-bottom is built for relaxed cruising and stable handling. With a draft of around 0.60 metres, the Bayliner feels at home in many Dutch cruising areas—especially if you like alternating between open water and more sheltered routes. Steering is via a wheel from the outside helm position, keeping you truly connected to the water and your company while underway.

How does she handle and what’s in the engine compartment?
She is powered by a MerCruiser 4.3LX inboard petrol engine with 200 hp. The engine is electrically started and, according to the owner, in working condition. On board you’ll find basic gauges such as a tachometer and fuel gauge, so you can keep a clear overview while cruising. This type of engine suits the sporty character of the Bayliner 2355 well: quick to get going, comfortable at speed, and equally suited to relaxed cruising when you feel like it.



Can you really stay overnight on her?
Yes—this Bayliner 2355 is clearly more than just a day boat. She offers four fixed berths, making her interesting for a weekend away on the water or a short holiday. Inside you’ll find a practical layout with mattresses, a dinette and a refrigerator, so you’re not dependent on shore facilities for every meal or break. There is also a shower on board, which makes staying aboard more comfortable when you’re out longer or want to warm up after a refreshing swim.



What is the comfort like outside in the cockpit?
Outside, she is set up to make life on deck easy and sociable. The cockpit is a great place to sit together, eat, or simply enjoy the view. On board you’ll find, among other things, a cockpit table, cockpit tent and cover(s), plus fenders and lines. The swim platform with swim ladder makes her especially appealing for summer days on the water—whether you’re at anchor or moored at a quiet beach. It is known that the exterior cushions show some wear/damage from use; something to keep in mind if a neat cockpit appearance is important to you.



What is known about maintenance and the underwater hull?
According to the owner, she was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The last antifouling treatment was in 2025. It has been stated that there is no osmosis or signs of osmosis present. That is a reassuring starting point for anyone looking for a polyester cabin motorboat where the underwater hull is an important consideration.



Who is this Bayliner 2355 a smart choice for?
This Bayliner is attractive for watersports enthusiasts looking for a Bayliner 2355 sport cruiser with berths, a MerCruiser inboard petrol engine, and a layout that allows you to plan both day trips and overnight stays. She feels at home as a weekend cruiser, as a comfortable leisure boat for couples or families, and as a compact cabin boat for those who want to get on the water quickly from a harbour such as Workum. Everything visible in the photos is included, giving you a clear idea of what to expect at auction.


Whoever wins her via BoatAuction will be bringing home an inviting boat made for relaxed hours on the water, with just that little bit of extra space and comfort to stay out spontaneously when the evening is too beautiful to head back.
