About the Moorings 382

Designed with the bareboat charter market firmly in mind, the Moorings 382 is a mid-size cruising sailboat built to deliver comfort, reliability, and ease of handling for sailors of varying experience levels. As part of The Moorings' well-regarded fleet, this model was developed to perform dependably in a range of conditions, from the sheltered bays of the Caribbean to more open coastal passages. The 382 follows the practical philosophy common to charter-focused designs, prioritizing stable motion, manageable sail plans, and well-organized deck layouts that allow short-handed crews to sail confidently. Spacious cockpits and thoughtfully arranged interiors are hallmarks of this lineage, making extended passages and liveaboard stints genuinely comfortable rather than merely tolerable. While serious offshore bluewater voyaging is not the primary calling of this design, the Moorings 382 is well suited to coastal cruising, island hopping, and extended charter adventures. Sailors researching this boat can expect a forgiving, user-friendly vessel with a solid reputation earned through years of active charter service — a strong choice for those prioritizing comfort and practicality over performance.
