The Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS has quietly become one of the most talked-about boats in the 35-to-40-foot express cruiser segment — and this South Beach Edition takes it to another level. With a jet-black hull, Seakeeper stabilization, triple Mercury 300hp outboards, and Cruisers’ signature Beach Door, this 2022 model in Fort Lauderdale is ready to redefine what a day on the water looks like.
The Beach Door Changes Everything
Cruisers Yachts’ signature Beach Door is what sets the 38 GLS apart from the competition. The starboard-side door folds down electronically to create a beach-style platform that connects the cockpit to the swim platform. When deployed, it dramatically increases usable space for swimming, boarding, and socializing at water level. It’s like having your own private beach club, wherever you anchor.
Combined with roughly 120 square feet of cockpit entertaining space, a retractable dining table that seats six, and a full wet bar with Corian countertop, the 38 GLS is purpose-built for hosting.
Seakeeper-Stabilized Comfort
Here’s what separates a good day on the water from a great one: a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer. This vessel comes equipped with one, and it makes a dramatic difference. Whether you’re anchored at the sandbar with guests or cruising through chop, the Seakeeper reduces roll and keeps everyone comfortable. It’s the kind of upgrade that, once you’ve experienced it, you can’t imagine boating without.
Triple Mercury Power: 900 Horses
Three Mercury Verado V10 300hp outboards deliver 900 horsepower total. Top speed hits 45 knots, with a comfortable cruise at 25 knots. The Mercury joystick piloting system makes docking in tight spaces effortless, while Mercury autopilot handles the long runs to the Keys or across to Bimini.
Dual Simrad 12-inch multifunction displays provide integrated navigation, radar, and engine data at a glance.
Below Deck: More Than a Day Boat
While the 38 GLS excels as an entertainer, it’s also a capable overnighter. The cabin features an Ebony Oak interior with comfortable seating, a dining area, a mid berth for guests, and an enclosed head with shower. A 28-inch TV, Dometic air conditioning, and Rockford Fosgate stereo system make the below-deck space genuinely livable.
South Beach Edition Details
This isn’t a standard 38 GLS — it’s the South Beach Edition, which means the jet-black hull, Ochre Sunbrella cockpit upholstery, Ebony Oak interior wood finish, Mocha SeaDek decking throughout the cockpit and platform, multicolor underwater lights, lighted speakers, and illuminated cup holders. The retractable hardtop sunroof and SureShade power shade system complete the package.
Warranty Protection
The vessel comes with a Brunswick Passport Premier extended protection plan covering the triple Mercury engines and over 120 components through December 2029. A Vantage Plus appearance protection system covers gelcoat and interior surfaces through 2026.
