From 1985 to 2007, Mediterranean Yachts' owners Richard Valdes and John White built 38-foot and 54-foot sportfishing yachts for boaters worldwide from their factory in Santa Ana, California. Valdes and White knew each customer by name because each yacht was ordered factory direct. Each yacht was built with customer?s desired floor plan and various options. At the end of July 2007 and after a successful 22-year run, Mediterranean Yachts' founders retired. As for the venerable Mediterranean 38/FS, it has a future with Navigator Yachts of Perris, California, as they purchased the mold from Mediterranean Yachts.

The Mediterranean 38/FS is known as one of the most popular and enduring convertibles of her size ever built! This 1989 model features the desirable single-stateroom layout with the complete galley forward of the saloon and lower helm. The cockpit is quite large with plenty of space for serious fishing and entertaining. Climb aboard, and find out how the Mediterranean 38/SF combines a great fishing platform, a performance hull design, and the upscale furnishings of a fine motoryacht.
