This well-maintained 1988 Carver 38 Santego is a classic flybridge cruiser that has seen extensive recent updates, making her an excellent option for coastal cruising, weekend getaways, or liveaboard use in Southern California.
Powered by twin Crusader gasoline inboards with approximately 778 hours, this vessel has benefited from engine servicing in 2024, ensuring reliable performance. In 2025, the starboard engine received a new distributor, adding to peace of mind for the next owner.
