Design & Layout Excellence
Where most express cruisers sacrifice midcabin comfort, the 3870 Esprit excels with a fully enclosed aft stateroom that offers true livability and privacy for guests or family. The cabin layout is highly functional for extended stays aboard, with generous headroom, storage, and thoughtful flow throughout the interior.
The forward master is open yet private, thanks to a draw curtain that separates it from the salon, while the salon and galley are configured to optimize space, comfort, and light. Natural light floods the interior, creating a warm, inviting environment whether at dock or underway.
Topside Entertainment & Functionality
Above deck, the cockpit is designed for effortless entertaining. The wraparound seating, wet bar, and spacious lounging areas make it ideal for hosting guests, enjoying cocktails at sunset, or simply unwinding after a long cruise. Engine access is via a cockpit hatch, with all key service points within reach.
A Proven Performer with Timeless Appeal
The Cruisers 3870 Esprit delivers a compelling mix of performance, interior innovation, and elegant styling. With its deep-V hull, quality construction, and modern two-stateroom layout, it remains a sought-after choice for discerning boaters who demand more from an express cruiser.
