Bayliner 3218 Motoryacht Flybridge Motor Yacht

1987–1989

The Bayliner 3218 Motoryacht belongs to the 32xx family of compact flybridge cruisers and uses twin inboards, a lower helm and a two-stateroom interior to deliver unusually high accommodation volume for its length. Diesel Hino installations are common, although gasoline versions also exist.

Best for

  • Couples or families wanting two sleeping areas below 33 feet
  • PNW and inland cruising where protected lower helm is useful
  • Buyers valuing twin-shaft handling over mechanical simplicity

Trade-offs

  • Machinery access is tight
  • Two engines double routine propulsion service points
  • Model naming overlaps with 3270/3288 family references
  • Individual boats may have gasoline or diesel power

Known concerns

  • No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.

Inspection focus

  • Both engines, transmissions, shafts and cooling systems
  • Fuel tanks, crossover plumbing and return routing
  • Window and deck moisture
  • Electrical and sanitation systems

About this record

B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
