1999 Cruisers Yachts 3870 Esprit
Great Lakes boat (100% Freshwater History)
Condition: Turnkey, Meticulously Maintained, & Loaded with 2026 Upgrades
If you are looking for an exceptionally clean, spacious, and modern express cruiser, this Cruisers Yachts 3870 Esprit is a rare find. Lovingly kept in the Great Lakes, this vessel has never seen saltwater and has been babied with annual inside heated winter storage and annual professional buff/wax detailing.
Boasting a massive 13’6” beam and an extended swim platform, she offers the cockpit space and interior volume of a much larger yacht.

She is truly 100% ready to cruise.
