1988 Commander 30

Boat Description

This classic BC-designed and manufactured cruiser is in exceptional shape for her age and a great boat to start cruising the coast with family and friends.

With assumable moorage, in a covered boatshed, this Commander has a gleaming gel coat and the Volvo engines look almost new.

This Commander 30 has the desirable aft cabin layout with a sliding divider door that creates a  private cabin on the main level. With a full galley, v-berth, heater, and a host of other amenities this Commander is ready to go exploring this summer. Custom swim grid with outboard cut out, extended bow pulpit for easier anchoring, and a custom bow searchlight making it easier to see when visibility is limited.

This Commander 30 is powered by twin Volvo AQ271 gas engines offering reliable power. They look almost new and start and run equally as well. The current owner is very proud of this boat and has done an impressive job keeping the engines in top shape. The 275 hp engines are a rare option and were originally ordered for their reliability and cruising performance.

Stepping inside, a large sitting room with a settee is found to port.  This converts into a double berth, and with the pull-out sliding panel, it transforms into a private cabin. To Starboard is a full-height enclosed head compartment with stainless steel sink, shower, and electric marine toilet with a holding tank. Some unique custom options added to this particular Commander 30 are the custom glass holder and magazine rack making this a very unique vessel.

Just forward, the dinette to port is a great place to enjoy meals and can be converted into a double berth. The forward dinette bench seat is also convertible; it easily flips to become a forward-facing seat giving to first mate or guests a great view while underway.  Forward is a large double V-berth, with plenty of storage and an integrated vanity mirror and seat.

The interior helm station has very good visibility and all controls are conveniently placed.   Just aft is the well-equipped galley with a propane stove and oven, refrigerator, sink, and plenty of storage.

This is a well-thought-out and well-maintained BC coastal cruiser.
