2014 Salona 38 -- The Perfect Cruiser with Racing Pedigree - Price reduced
Unmatched Cruising Comfort & Practicality
From the moment you step aboard, this 2014 Salona 38 reveals itself as an exceptional cruise-capable yacht, designed to deliver daily enjoyment without compromise.
Build & Construction
Built by AD Boats in Croatia for the renowned Salona brand, these yachts are well-regarded for their solid engineering, superb finish, and intelligent design. The hull is hand-laminated GRP, vacuum-infused and reinforced with carbon-fibre layers, while an internal stainless-steel grid is bonded directly to the hull structure. This carries the loads from the keel, mast, and rigging--ensuring durability and stiffness for years of use. Such robust construction gives peace of mind when taking the boat offshore or anchoring in remote coves.
Deck Arrangement & Cockpit

A generous cockpit with dual carbon-style wheels offers excellent helm position and visibility--ideal for family cruising, socialising, and managing sails with ease. All control lines are led aft, making it practical for shorthanded handling. The deck layout features teak detailing, comfortable seating, and a removable aft-bench section for flexibility between lounging and sailing modes. There is a small removable table for the cockpit. These elements give the feel of a yacht built to work for both relaxed weekends and longer passages.
Below Decks - Layout & Liveability
With a two-cabin, four-berth layout, the Salona 38 is perfectly suited to families or couples hosting friends. Inside you'll find light modern finishes, quality timber joinery, white surfaces, and an airy saloon space that's rare in yachts this size. Folding pilot berths in saloon offer an additional four berths. With a waterline length of approximately 10.15 m and beam of around 3.62 m, the design delivers both volume and balance. A fuel capacity of roughly 100 L and water capacity around 180 L make it well suited for extended coastal cruising. The ergonomics and thoughtful design reflect a focus on relaxed living aboard--not just sailing performance.

o Stainless and aluminium backing plates beneath winches and rig hardware.
