Owner Experience Review

Owners tend to run the Chase 38fromNOVURANIA OF AMERICAas a primary/guest tender to a mothership or as a day‑charter tour boat, and it doubles comfortably as a family weekender with space for large groups. Seating for up to 21, wrap‑around bow seating and an aft sunpad make transfers and social cruising straightforward. Charter feedback from operators using aChase 38even notes, "Once the tour started I could tell it would be a great day, the crew interacted with the guests and made us feel like family."

On the water, the deep‑V GRP hull is repeatedly praised for a smooth, stable ride in open conditions and predictable handling during guest transfers. Performance is very package‑dependent: the manufacturer cites top speeds up to ~56 mph on heavier engine specs, while used listings commonly report cruising in the ~22–35‑knot range and top speeds in the 30–40‑knot band depending on engines and drive type. Owners therefore match power to mission, from inboard diesel twins to outboard conversions used commercially.

Onboard comfort aligns with yacht‑tender expectations: yacht‑quality fittings, a side entry door with removable boarding handrail, and a flexible deck plan ease boarding from docks or a garage. Build details—vacuum‑bagged cored GRP with a solid‑glass keel and foam‑encapsulated stringers—pair with service‑friendly touches like under‑deck aluminum fuel and water tanks with on‑deck fills and a well‑lit, accessible engine compartment. On the brokerage market, many ex‑tenders are described as well maintained, but high‑hour examples exist, so buyers focus on engine brand support (Volvo D4/D6, Yanmar, or outboard packages) and documented service history.

Pros and Cons

• Deep‑V GRP hull delivers a smooth, stable ride suitable for open‑water guest transfers.
• Spacious layout seats up to 21 with yacht‑quality finishes and easy boarding features.
• Proven versatility as a superyacht tender, family dayboat, and commercial tour platform.
• Performance varies widely with engine and drive choices, so results depend on the package.
• Many used examples carry high engine hours, making service‑history scrutiny essential.
• Parts and service availability depend on the installed engine brand.
