Description
The Bayliner 2355 Ciera Sunbridge blends comfort, performance, and practicality in a compact cruiser platform. Bayliner engineered this model to meet or exceed all U.S. Coast Guard and NMMA standards , and subjected its hulls, gelcoat, and materials to rigorous stress testing far beyond normal use. Everything from gelcoats to carpeting is subjected to extreme climate exposure and stress testing far beyond the limits .... The result is a durable, long-life cruiser with excellent ride characteristics and fuel efficiency, proven through Bayliner’s performance and endurance trials .
Inside, the 2355 offers two separate double berths, a galley, and an enclosed head, making it ideal for weekend trips, overnighting, and extended days on the water. The cockpit layout provides generous seating and flexibility for cruising, entertaining, or relaxing at the dock.
This unit includes fresh bottom paint, shorepower, and the larger 5.7L MerCruiser, giving it better acceleration and load-carrying ability than the smaller engine packages.
