2018 GOLDFISH 38

The Goldfish 38 SuperSport fills a narrow niche: a cabin RIB that behaves like a 38-foot sport boat and still shrugs off rough Aegean chop. Twin 430 HP Mercury 8.2 MAG DTS petrol engines, a carbon-laid hull and the builder's staggered engine layout push this 11.81 m platform to a 72.6-knot top end with handling that stays predictable. Most buyers arrive after comparing conventional sport yachts and leave convinced by the fun-per-euro ratio and the simpler maintenance picture.
 

This hull suits a buyer who wants speed, low-fuss day boating and the ability to reach distant islands before lunch. Families with teenagers will appreciate the safety of the RIB tube and the shallow draft for anchoring off beaches, while a couple chasing weekend escapes will use the small cabin and heads regularly. Buyers hunting long-range cruising, liveaboard volume or classic teak-and-varnish looks should look elsewhere.
 

Is the Goldfish 38 SuperSport for Sale?

Yes, this Goldfish 38 SuperSport is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The boat is located in Greece and is being actively marketed to buyers who want speed, low-fuss day boating and the ability to reach distant islands before lunch. Because Goldfish RIBs hold value in the Mediterranean and clean, well-documented examples are in demand, availability of a comparable boat in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Mercury service records, carbon structure condition, tube condition, and the documented maintenance history should all be reviewed. A consistently cared-for hull with a clean service file can have a very different ownership profile from another 38 SuperSport that has seen heavier use.
 

Goldfish 38 SuperSport Price

The asking price for this Goldfish 38 SuperSport should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for performance RIBs varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. Goldfish RIBs hold value in the Mediterranean, and a clean service file protects that value at sale time, which supports resale potential. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for an 11.81 m cabin RIB. Running costs deserve a hard look before signing. Two 430 HP petrol blocks drink roughly 150 to 170 litres an hour at cruise, which turns a 120-nautical-mile island day into a fuel event rather than a rounding error. Annual servicing on both Mercury 8.2 MAG engines, tube and carbon care, insurance, antifouling and an Attica marina berth stack up well above a comparable diesel sport yacht. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Goldfish 38 SuperSport is powered by twin 430 HP Mercury 8.2 MAG DTS petrol engines in the staggered layout Goldfish uses across this range, delivering a 65-knot cruise. The Mercury 8.2 MAG DTS is a high-performance petrol engine known for strong acceleration, and the staggered layout helps the boat handle the power while keeping the platform balanced.
 

Carbon fibre construction with a painted deck and custom hardtop keeps the hull stiff and light and makes the 72.6-knot top speed survivable, while trim tabs help tune the ride in rough Aegean chop. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial in chop tells you more than any listing photo, particularly about trim tab response and hull integrity. Two 430 HP petrol blocks drink roughly 150 to 170 litres an hour at cruise.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This Goldfish 38 SuperSport features carbon fibre construction with a painted deck and custom hardtop, which keeps the hull stiff and light and makes the 72.6-knot top speed survivable. A navigation package is already fitted, including chartplotter, AIS and echo sounder, so the electronics bill sits behind you rather than ahead. Trim tabs, swim lights, shore power and fresh antifouling mean turnkey readiness for a Greek summer season.
 

Buyers should send a surveyor through the carbon structure and tube condition, and inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The custom hardtop, trim tabs, swim lights, shore power, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested. A sea trial in chop is particularly useful for checking trim tab response and hull integrity.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This Goldfish 38 SuperSport offers a cabin layout with berth, galley space and heads, enough for weekend overnights rather than long-distance liveaboard life. Families with teenagers will appreciate the safety of the RIB tube and the shallow draft for anchoring off beaches, while a couple chasing weekend escapes will use the small cabin and heads regularly. It is not designed for long-range cruising or liveaboard volume.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley space, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation areas for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The berth and heads make the boat practical for weekend overnights, which is consistent with its role as a fast, low-fuss day boat.
 

What to Check Before Buying a Goldfish 38 SuperSport

Before travelling, send a surveyor through the carbon structure and tube condition, and request engine hours plus the Mercury service records. The survey should cover the carbon hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, plumbing, and bilge systems. The custom hardtop, trim tabs, swim lights, shore power, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested.
 

The twin 430 HP Mercury 8.2 MAG DTS petrol engines should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, and propellers. Buyers should also test the chartplotter, AIS, echo sounder, VHF radio, pumps, and other onboard systems. A sea trial in chop tells you more than any listing photo, particularly about trim tab response and hull integrity. If numbers and survey both check out, this used yacht for sale is strong value at the asking price.
