GOLDFISH 38 SUPERSPORT - GOLDFISH FOR SALE

2016 38’ Performance Sports Yacht in Croatia

Carved for the Adriatic and crafted for thrill, this 38-foot luxury motor yacht delivers an intoxicating blend of speed, style, and seakeeping. Built in 2016 and lying in Croatia, it pairs a lean 10-foot beam with a sleek fiberglass-composite hull and deck, translating modern design into extraordinary performance and refined comfort.

Push the throttles and the horizon arrives fast. A single high‑performance engine powers effortless acceleration, settling into an astonishing 57‑knot cruise and surging toward a blistering 67 knots at full song. The hull’s clean lines and carefully engineered geometry reward confident helmsmanship with precise tracking, quick response, and a dry, composed ride—equally at home slicing across open water or threading island-to-island in classic Mediterranean style.

The deck plan celebrates open-air living. Generous seating invites sociable days at anchor, with lounging zones that encourage long lunches, sun-drenched afternoons, and sunset passages. Non‑slip fiberglass decking, secure handholds, and thoughtful sightlines reflect an emphasis on safe, easy movement underway. Aft, seamless access to the water turns swim stops and tendering into an effortless ritual, while smart storage solutions keep gear tidy and out of the way. At the helm, crisp instrumentation and ergonomic controls keep everything intuitive at speed, supporting relaxed confidence whether you’re dashing to a secluded cove or returning to port after dark.

Inside, a compact and tastefully finished retreat offers respite from the midday sun and practical space to stow essentials for extended day cruising. It’s a minimalist, purpose‑built environment that complements the yacht’s athletic character—beautifully simple, endlessly usable, and ready for spontaneous plans.

With ample fuel capacity for ambitious island hops, single‑engine simplicity for low‑stress ownership, and a construction pedigree that prizes durability, this 2016 38’ stands out as a compelling Adriatic dayboat, chase boat, or superyacht tender. For owners who value purity of design and the visceral joy of speed—without sacrificing elegance—this is the rare yacht that makes every mile a memory.

Description

There is simply no more capable RIB for those who like to go places. The Goldfish 38 devours miles with uncommon ease, running calm and composed while effortlessly sustaining 50 knots over many hundreds of miles. Nothing drives like a Goldfish 38—except another Goldfish. This Super Sports icon distills everything the yard has learned from racing and the military into a family‑friendly, eminently usable boat. Crafted in carbon fibre with the Carbon Top 2.0 and fitted with four Ullmann Echelon racing seats with carbon‑wrapped backrests, it is one of the most reliable and fastest 38s ever built, and this particular example is elevated further with over 200,000 EUR of extras and options, custom flooring and bespoke fuel tanks.

The construction pairs a GRP carbon sandwich with a three‑stepped, decompressing deep‑V hull, finished in black carbon with black non‑slip wear patches on the tubes and protected by black antifouling. The Carbon Top 2.0 integrates a full windscreen with LED downlights, complemented by a driving light mounted on the roof and a bimini system that encloses the sides of the Carbon Top 2.0 for adaptable shelter. The deck and bathing platform are clad in black grip foam for secure footing. Exterior finishes include a Branca Black hull and deck with Carbon Grey canvas upholstery, a smoked Plexiglas screen, and tubes in a carbon black finish with black non‑slip patches. Interior tones are purposeful and modern, with black GRP surfaces and a carbon grey mattress.

Power comes from twin Mercury Diesel 4.2 TDI engines on Bravo 1 XR sterndrives, delivering 2 x 370 HP to stainless steel propellers for a cruising speed of 57 knots and a top speed up to 67 knots depending on conditions. Precision is assured by DTS electronic engine controls and trim tabs, while peace of mind comes from the Goldfish antitheft code start system, automatic and manual bilge pumps, hand‑held extinguishers and an automatic engine‑room fire suppression system, plus an engine flush kit for easy maintenance.

The electrical backbone features 3 x 12‑volt heavy‑duty batteries for both engine starting and domestic supply, a 12 V outlet at the helm, and circuit breakers on all circuits. Charging is robust, with 2 x engine‑driven 90‑amp alternators feeding through blocking diodes, and 220 V shore power with a Mastervolt battery charger for reliable dockside replenishment. Freshwater comfort is ensured by a pressurized cold‑water system serving the deck shower and heads. Tankage is generous and practical: fuel capacity is 158 US gallons (600 litres) in a single tank with a primary fuel filter, fresh water is 11 US gallons (42 litres), and there is a holding tank.

Navigation and situational awareness are thoroughly modern, centered on a Simrad NSS16 EVO II colour touch‑screen chart plotter with Simrad GPS, Simrad depth/sonar, Simrad AIS (B), Simrad VHF and Simrad autopilot, aided by Ritchie helm compasses and a FLIR M232 camera for confident night running. On deck, handling and comfort are raised by a stern anchor roller with an electric windlass, a stainless‑steel anchor and chain with a bow roller, a freshwater deck shower, low‑level cockpit floor lights and additional floor lights, transom underwater lights, a flagpole, and a stainless swim ladder. A full set of black lupolight navigation lights underlines the stealth aesthetic. Protection and practicality come via a console cover and Ullmann seat covers, a full boat storage cover, flush‑design cleats with an additional bow cleat, custom jet‑black‑painted handrails, lifting points and tender slings. Four Ullmann Echelon racing seats with carbon‑wrapped backrests, footrests and forward grab handles provide secure, fatigue‑reducing support at speed. The Carbon Top 2.0 incorporates LED downlights, a roof‑mounted driving light, and a bimini system to close the sides, while a reinforced tow point at the waterline and a comprehensive mooring package round out the specification.

Entertainment is equally serious: a super‑impressive JL Audio sound system combines 6 speakers and 2 subwoofers with digital amplifiers and Bluetooth connectivity, supplemented by 2 additional USB sockets. Below the helm, the console cleverly houses a twin berth, an electric toilet, a refrigerator, jump‑start battery connections, a 12 V socket and lighting. The console volume is notably large and doubles as valuable storage, easily swallowing all external cushions when required.

Domestic amenities include the freshwater deck shower, a marine electric heads with fresh‑water flush and holding tank, and the console refrigerator. Additional finishing touches include all Goldfish logos rendered in black with a red frame, and a boat cradle with aluminium wheels for easy transport included.

A meticulous 2021/2022 refit brings mechanical confidence to new‑boat levels, with full service per manufacturer guidance, new sterndrives, a new damper on the port engine, a new gimbal, repair and service of all four turbochargers, cleaning of the cooling system and heat exchangers with new coolant, new impellers for both engines, new propeller hubs, a new shaft, new bearings and seals, and the installation of an additional dedicated cooling system for the sterndrives.
