Licensed Yacht BrokersSales and service of yachts and shipsThe 38 ExpressfromRampageblends the capability of amotor yachtwith the purpose-built focus of asport fisherman. It rides on a Deep Vee hull withfiberglass and plasticconstruction and a fiberglass deck. Presented by Shestakov Yacht Sales and broker Andrey Shestakov.
If you are choosing a versatile platform that can fish hard and cruise efficiently, the 38 Expressstands out. With a 38 ft (11.58 m) LOA and a broad 13 ft (4.19 m) beam, it offers confident handling and usable deck space. Twin inboard diesel power from Cummings delivers a 25-knot cruising speed and 30-knot top end, supported by a 512-gallon fuel capacity for solid range. As a capablesport fishermanwithin the broadermotor yachtfamily, it aligns well with anglers who value performance and straightforward serviceability.

Owners who run the 38 ExpressfromRampagetend to use it exactly as intended: hard offshore days chasing fish, then comfortable runs home at a solid 20–25 knots. The deep-V hull with roughly 18–19 degrees of transom deadrise gives a big-boat feel in a chop, and most examples will top out near 30 knots depending on engines and props. That balance shows through underway—confident acceleration to plane and predictable manners when trimmed.
On deck and below, it fits the dual brief. The cockpit is laid out around a fighting chair with a livewell, generous fishboxes, and thoughtful tackle and in-floor rod storage, while the helm deck can be enclosed and fitted with reverse-cycle A/C for long days. Below, the saloon has about seven feet of headroom, a forward V-berth, a U-shaped dinette that converts to an extra berth, and a single head with enclosed shower—comfortable for weekend cruising, though compact compared with larger express sportfishers.
Day-to-day use reflects practical design touches and a few ownership caveats. Trolling control is notably good, with reliable slow and fast troll modes in the roughly 4.5–7-knot range, and the hydraulic helm/saloon lift makes engine-room access excellent. Multiple engine fits are common (Caterpillar C9, Cummins QSC 8.3 variants, Yanmar 6CXM), so service costs and parts availability vary by installation; owners of some Cummins boats also discuss cold-start/pre-heat quirks. With large fuel capacity around 512 gallons and the displacement to match, fuel and routine service become meaningful line items for frequent offshore programs.
