Built with Bayliner’s commitment to affordable comfort, the Avanti delivers generous accommodations for its size, including a wide 11′ beam that provides a stable ride and plenty of interior volume.


Powered by twin MerCruiser 6.2L with Bravo 3 sterndrives, this 3255 balances responsive handling with reliable performance, making it equally suited for day cruising or extended weekends aboard. Owners praise the Avanti’s predictable handling and efficiency, making it a user-friendly choice for those stepping into larger express cruisers.


The interior layout includes a forward berth, convertible dinette, private mid-cabin, enclosed head with shower, and a fully equipped galley, providing comfortable overnight accommodations for up to six. Large windows and thoughtful design choices give the cabin a bright, open feel uncommon in boats of this vintage.


On deck, the roomy cockpit features ample seating for entertaining, a helm with good sightlines, and easy access to the swim platform, making it versatile for both social outings and watersports. With its blend of space, equipment, and proven performance, the Bayliner 3255 Avanti remains an attractive option for buyers seeking a reliable, family-friendly express cruiser at excellent value.

About the Company

United City Yachts has constantly expanded across Canada. We started with an office conveniently located at the Toronto Outer Harbour Marina in downtown Toronto, only minutes from the bottom of the Don Valley Parkway and Lake Shore Road E. Subsequently we opened an office in Kingston and broker coverage on Georgian Bay and in 2016 we began serving the Vancouver area. Most recently we entered the Montreal, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Lake Simcoe, Southwestern Ontario and Ottawa yacht market. We have really focused on establishing the best geographic catchment for both yacht sellers and buyers. We know the boat markets across Canada and most importantly we have the connections for buying and selling yachts not just from one location but from many locations. Our yacht brokerage often moves sold boats across the country and also to all points US and Caribbean connecting happy clients with the boat of their dreams. While most brokers focus on listed inventory in their own backyards, we focus on making yacht purchase connections with buyers and sellers across the country and beyond offering our purchasing clients more selection and listings not limited to one geographic area. For sellers it means bringing you more prospects, not just from one city but from across the country. As United City Yachts continues to expand and grow, we invite you to work with us and see the difference we can make to your yacht purchase or sale using our multi-channel approach to marketing yachts.
