1987 Sea Ray 390 Express Cruiser

Step aboard and you immediately feel how wide and open this 39-footer really is. The massive beam gives you a cockpit that can handle a crowd, with plenty of room to set up chairs, a cooler, and still move around safely underway. The helm is classic analog, with clear sightlines over the bow, making close-quarters handling far less stressful than many newer, taller cruisers. Below, the forward stateroom and generous salon layout make it easy to spend long weekends aboard without feeling cramped. Wide side decks, substantial railings, and that solid 80s Sea Ray construction give the boat a reassuring, big-boat feel that’s hard to find at this price point.

This 390 Express Cruiser shines in warm, shallow, and busy coastal waters where comfort and versatility matter. The broad, open cockpit is ideal for sandbar raft-ups, casual harbor cruises, and evenings at anchor, with enough freeboard to keep guests dry when afternoon chop kicks up. Its express layout keeps everyone on one level so the captain stays part of the conversation while navigating crowded channels. The hull design handles short, steep waves with confidence, yet the draft is friendly enough for exploring inlets and near-shore anchorages. With generous tankage and a roomy cabin, it also works well for longer weekend hops between marinas or quiet coves.
