2003 John Williams Stanley 38

Double Shot was just repowered with a brand new 2025 Yanmar 400hp common rail diesel engine with 2 commissioning hours and full warranty that can be started with the new owner! She will be launched out of winter storage in a few weeks and then will be on the dock in Newport, RI and easy to see. She is in excellent condition and a showing will most definitely not disappoint.

The Stanley 38 is a timeless example of Maine boatbuilding at its finest. Designed by Lyford Stanley and built by the renowned John Williams Boat Company on Mount Desert Island, this 38-foot Downeast cruiser beautifully combines traditional lines with modern craftsmanship to provide a versatile boat that is a great platform for fishing or entertaining, with plenty of room for as many as 15 guests.

Constructed with a solid fiberglass hull and accented by exquisite teak trim, the Stanley 38 is as rugged as she is graceful. Her hull design offers exceptional stability and a smooth, dry ride—perfect for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. A large propeller, rudder and a bow thruster make her easy to maneuver near the dock.

Double Shot is a shining example of this venerable Downeast, she is very well-equipped, well cared for and has been tastefully upgraded and modified over the years. She spent her first decade of service cruising the Maine coast in the summers; the current owners acquired the boat in 2015 and have since cruised the Bahamas, Florida and now New England. Double shot has a fantastic layout for family cruising: she sleeps 5 (4 below in a queen berth and 2 single "quarter berths" and 1 in the pilothouse settee) with shoreside air conditioning to keep you cool at night. The galley up and open cockpit layout provide one of the best entertaining platforms on a boat in this category.
