1988 C&C 38-3

Currently in North Carolina but leisurely sailing south to Georgia or Florida, or until it’s sold. Contact us for more photos and detailed inventory.

A racer-cruiser ideal for an able-bodied single or couple seeking a full-time liveaboard lifestyle in the Caribbean for a few years.

Set up for a low-budget lifestyle always away from restaurants and marinas, in remote locations.

Can sleep up to 8 people, but more than 4 feels crowded. One head.

Currently in use and ready to continue. It hasn’t been sitting in a marina neglected, and it includes many tools and accessories. You could spend this winter in the Bahamas.

Only private owner’s use. It’s never been chartered.

We’d be happy to spend a week aboard together with the next owners of Reflection, doing short sails, making sure you get familiar with everything aboard, and passing on what we’ve learned about the lifestyle and all that surrounds it.
