Introduced in 1989, the Sea Ray 380 Aft Cabin is a bigger boat inside than her 38-foot length might suggest thanks to a wide 13-foot, 11-inch beam. Indeed, the spacious accommodations of the 380 are easily her most prominent feature. Built on a good-running deep-V hull with prop pockets, her two-stateroom interior is arranged with double berths in both staterooms, a full-size dinette in the salon, and a large U-shaped galley with an upright refrigerator and plenty of storage. A lower helm was optional, and a convenient breakfast bar overlooks the galley area. The oak-trimmed decor is obviously dated by today’s designer standards, but the 380’s layout features everything required for comfortable cruising including a big L-shaped sofa in the salon, adequate storage, and built-in vanities in both staterooms. Topside, a hardtop shelters the aft deck, and the flybridge has guest seating aft of the helm. Additional features include side-dumping exhausts, wide side decks, a spacious engine room, and a radar arch. Standard 340hp MerCruiser gas inboards cruise the Sea Ray 380 Aft Cabin at 15–16 knots (mid 20s top), and optional 300hp Cummins diesels cruise at 20 knots.
