BAYLINER 285 2003

Boat Overview

The popular Bayliner 285 sports cruiser offers 6-berth accommodation without the added maintenance costs of twin engines. It is recognized as one of the best-selling sports cruisers of its size in the UK. This model is powered by a single Mercruiser 5.7L petrol engine, providing smooth and quiet propulsion. The 285 excels with its spaciously designed cockpit, accommodating friends and family comfortably. The fixed radar arch supports the canopy, making it easier to remove and refit.

Accommodation

Access the boat easily over the swim step through a gate in the transom into the COCKPIT area. It features a foldaway forward-facing bench seat on the transom and an aft-facing fixed bench seat with a reversible backrest, separating the cockpit from the raised helm area. There is a single helm seat to starboard and an "L" shaped seating area to port.

A high radar arch rises over the cockpit, supporting the removable canopy that encloses the entire area. The sides can be removed to create a bimini cover for weather and sun protection. From the helm, you can step down and forward into the cabin area or step up and through a fold-aside center window section for access to the long foredeck and electric anchor windlass.

The SALOON is cleverly designed to provide a surprisingly roomy and useful space for a 28-footer. The initial impression is of a much larger cabin due to its open design extending to the bow. The fixed double FORWARD BERTH can be separated by sliding curtains to create a "forward compartment" for added privacy. The mid-section serves as the main saloon, featuring a functional galley on the port side and a dining table with two facing benches opposite. The table lowers to create an additional double berth when needed.

The GALLEY includes a covered two-burner alcohol/electric stove and a sink with pressurized hot and cold water. The under-counter area is fully utilized for storage. A 240v microwave is fitted above the sink, and a 12v refrigerator is located opposite under the dinette seating.

Aft of the dining area is a fully molded wetroom / HEAD compartment with good headroom, including a sea toilet with holding tank, wash basin, and shower.

Under the cockpit is another double AFT BERTH. A port hole into the helm area provides lighting to this space. When not used as a berth, it serves as a large storage area.
