Bruce Roberts Offshore 38

Introducing the 1989 Bruce Roberts Offshore 38, Aquarius - a proven bluewater cruiser. Built with a robust steel hull and fin keel, she offers excellent stability and performance under sail.

Aquarius is offered by her second owner, who has cared for the yacht since 1997. Over the years, she has demonstrated her capability as a dependable long-distance cruiser, having sailed extensively along the East Coast of Australia, through Indonesia, the East and West Coasts of Malaysia, Thailand's West Coast, and as far as the Andaman Islands.

Since 2017, she has been laid up on the hardstand at Pangkor Island Marina, Malaysia, following a serious back injury sustained by the owner. Well-equipped and designed for comfort as well as safety, Aquarius now awaits a new custodian to refit her and continue her cruising story.
