Well maintained & upgraded 38' Gulf Commader

Admiring ‘Santara’ from the dock you will notice the gleaming teak brightwork and shiny topsides and cabin sides that were painted with Awlgrip in 2014.

Stepping aboard from the port midships boarding gate onto the teak decks there are wide side decks with high railings for moving fore and aft.

Entering the interior through either a port or starboard side door you step into the spacious salon where the interior is finished in solid and teak veneers. To starboard is a settee that pulls out to convert to a double berth if you need to sleep more guests.  On the port side of the salon is a table with four chairs that serves as a dining area, to starboard is the fully functional lower helm.

Forward is the V-berth stateroom with an ensuite head to port.  This stateroom can function as two singles or a double with the center insert.  There are ample drawers, lockers and areas for storage and the head compartment has a simple manual toilet.

Moving from the salon aft, the galley is along the port side with a large head and second stateroom across to port.  This head also has a simple manual toilet and has a bathtub/shower compartment.

The second cabin features a double bunk with loads of storage and a good sized hanging locker.

At the aft end of the companion way/galley there are stairs to the aft cockpit.  Here a lazarette contains the generator and more storage.
