1988 Irwin Citation 38 – “Jester” | USVI | Priced to Sell – As-Is

Location: Brenner’s Bay, St. Thomas, USVI
Status: Reduced for quick sale | Sold As-Is

The 1988 Irwin Citation 38 “Jester” is a classic Ted Irwin design known for its solid fiberglass construction, generous interior volume, and comfortable cruising layout. This vessel is being offered as-is at a reduced price, making it an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking for a project boat, liveaboard refit, or affordable Caribbean cruiser.

Currently, the vessel shows significant interior clutter and deferred cosmetic upkeep, which is reflected in the asking price. The boat will require organization, cleaning, and updating, but the underlying platform remains a proven, seaworthy design with strong potential.

Highlights:

  • Proven Irwin Citation 38 cruising hull

  • Spacious cockpit with pedestal steering

  • Large salon with settees and good headroom

  • Forward V-berth and aft sleeping accommodations

  • Enclosed head with marine toilet and sink

  • Galley with ample storage, sink, and prep space

  • Inboard diesel engine (condition to be verified by buyer)

  • Classic lines and solid Caribbean cruising pedigree

Important Notes:

  • Interior is cluttered and in need of cleaning and re-organization

  • Cosmetic and system updates should be expected

  • Vessel is being sold strictly As-Is / Where-Is

  • No repairs or cleanup will be performed prior to sale

  • Ideal for hands-on owners, liveaboards, or refit buyers

Why This Boat Makes Sense:

If you’re looking for a turnkey yacht, this is not it.
If you’re looking for a solid 38-foot cruising sailboat at a fraction of replacement cost, with the ability to customize and refit to your taste in the USVI, Jester represents real value.

Opportunities like this—classic fiberglass cruisers priced below market due to condition—are becoming harder to find in the Caribbean.
