Discover the All-New Wayfinder 38
At the Miami Yacht Show, AIATA will present the Wayfinder 38, showcased in both Cabin and Suntop configurations. Designed as a highly versatile 38-foot walkaround, the Wayfinder 38 fully embodies AIATA’s design philosophy, combining modularity, performance, and contemporary aesthetics. Conceived to adapt to different lifestyles and uses, the model offers a flexible platform suited to day cruising, socializing, and extended time on the water.
The Wayfinder 38 is particularly well aligned with the expectations of the American market. Generous deck spaces, wide walkaround areas, and expansive social zones enhance comfort and usability, both at anchor and underway. Performance plays a central role, not only in terms of maximum speed (53 knots), but also in safety, stability, and ease of handling. Powered by high-output outboard engines (2 × Mercury V8 300 hp, 2 × Mercury V10 350 hp or 400 hp, or 2 × Honda BF 350 hp), the boat delivers excellent maneuverability, confident navigation, and smooth behavior during docking and anchoring maneuvers. High-quality construction and refined manufacturing complete the package, offering a product that meets the standards of a demanding, performance-oriented U.S. clientele.
