1997 Bayliner 2855 CieraSold

Step aboard this 2855 Ciera and you’ll see why this series built such a loyal following. The wide beam gives you a surprisingly generous cockpit, with room to set up for afternoon cruising or a casual dockside happy hour. The molded steps and walk-through windshield make getting to the bow simple for line handling or sunbathing. Below the waterline, the deep-V hull is known for softening out chop and giving you a confident ride when afternoon winds kick up. With its trailerable size, you’re not locked into one marina—haul out for easy maintenance or chase the best water and weather as the season changes.

In this region, you need a cruiser that can handle mixed conditions—calm mornings, afternoon wind waves, and the occasional sloppy weekend traffic. The 2855 Ciera’s hull design and beam give you stability at rest and a reassuring feel under way, whether you’re hopping between nearby harbors or stretching out for a longer weekend run. Its overall length keeps it manageable for short-handed crews, while still offering enough cabin volume to ride out a rain squall in comfort. On a trailer, you can store it off the water between outings, which helps fight growth, reduce maintenance costs, and protect your investment in this versatile express cruiser.
