From the moment you step aboard the 2013 Salona 38, you immediately feel that the yacht offers far more than a conventional cruiser. Built by AD Boats shipyard in Solin, near Split, Croatia, the Salona Yachts brand is known for combining performance, seamanship, and structural strength in its designs. The Salona 38 model was introduced in 2011 and was produced until approximately 2015/2016. It was developed as a successor to the award-winning Salona 37, featuring more modern lines, a stronger structure, and significantly improved living spaces.
Entering from the stern, you are first welcomed by a spacious cockpit and twin steering wheel system. However, the real impression begins when descending into the saloon. Thanks to the wide hull form and large hull windows, the interior is exceptionally bright and airy. Warm wooden finishes with modern Scandinavian styling, light upholstery, and a functional layout give the yacht both a sporty and comfortable character.
On the port side, the large galley is designed with extended life onboard in mind. With generous countertop space, deep sinks, ample storage, and an ergonomic layout, it offers comfortable use both at anchor and under sail. On the starboard side, there is a proper navigation station with easy access to the electrical panel and navigation instruments, as expected from a true offshore cruising yacht.
The saloon features opposing seating areas around a large dining table, providing ample space for a full crew while also transforming into a comfortable living area during longer passages.The portside and starboard backrests of the saloon seating area can be unfolded and converted into additional pilot berths. This arrangement allows the yacht to accommodate an additional sleeping capacity for two persons when required. The interior volume of the Salona 38 delivers a level of comfort often found in yachts above 40 feet. Large hull windows allow natural light to fill every corner of the saloon.
One of the key advantages of this version is its 3-cabin layout. The forward master cabin offers excellent comfort with a spacious V-berth, generous storage, and natural light. The two aft double cabins provide an ideal solution for guests or family use. The interior layout is well balanced for both private ownership and extended cruising plans.
Although the yacht carries a performance and racing-oriented character, its three-cabin configuration and generous living spaces also create a highly social environment for families and groups. The spacious saloon, wide cockpit layout, and comfortable cabins successfully combine privacy and shared living space during long summer passages.
SY Banshee is one of the rare models that delivers sporty sailing performance without compromising everyday comfort. Its strong hull structure, balanced sailing characteristics, and performance-driven design details offer an impressive equilibrium for both experienced sailors and those seeking comfortable cruising. As a result, the yacht is not only ideal for fast and enjoyable passages but also represents a strong platform for extended stays, family cruising, and bluewater plans.
When it comes to sail plan and rigging, the yacht is equipped with a performance-oriented 3-spreader aluminum Selden mast, a bowsprit, and a spinnaker pole. The robust and well-balanced rig provides confidence across a wide range of weather conditions. In addition to the mainsail and genoa, the yacht is equipped with two spinnakers, significantly enhancing performance potential especially in light wind conditions. Both standing and running rigging are in very good overall condition, reflecting careful use and proper maintenance.
The performance-driven DNA of Salona Yachts is also evident in the structural engineering. The Salona 38 features an internal stainless steel frame system that distributes keel and rig loads directly into the hull, ensuring high structural integrity. Vacuum infusion hull construction, carbon-reinforced areas, and an optimized keel design contribute to a fast, stiff, and confidence-inspiring sailing performance.
The yacht is located at Marmaris Yacht Marina. Viewings are conducted by appointment only during weekday working hours, excluding Sundays. Please arrange your visit at least three days in advance.
In conclusion, SY Banshee represents a highly successful balance between a performance-oriented racing yacht and a comfortable family cruiser. With its modern lines, strong structure, generous interior volume, and functional three-cabin layout, it stands out as an excellent option for both Mediterranean cruising and extended offshore passages.
