Luxury Boat Sales QLD is pleased to present this well-maintained 2005 Bayliner 285 Sports Cruiser, offering an impressive combination of spacious accommodation, practical design and comfortable cruising capabilities.

Renowned for its generous 3.02m beam, the Bayliner 285 offers exceptional interior volume for a vessel of its size. The cleverly designed layout features a permanent forward double berth, a separate aft double cabin with an enclosed privacy door, a convertible dinette lounge and a spacious, fully equipped galley, providing comfortable accommodation for up to five people.

A Spacious & Practical Family Cruiser

The Bayliner 285 is a highly regarded and versatile sports cruiser, offering the space and accommodation typically associated with much larger vessels. Its wide beam, permanent forward berth, private aft cabin and well-equipped galley make it equally suited to day cruising, entertaining or extended weekends on the water.

With its low-hour MerCruiser 6.2L V8, extensive recent maintenance and excellent presentation throughout, this Bayliner 285 represents a fantastic opportunity to secure a comfortable and practical family cruiser without the additional expense of a twin-engine vessel.
