Overview
The 2026 Jeanneau TH38 is a versatile power catamaran designed for those seeking freedom, safety, and exceptional social space on the water. With a generous beam of 14.67 feet and a deck area exceeding 15 square meters, this innovative catamaran accommodates up to 15 guests — making it ideally suited for family outings, group day cruises, and lively onboard entertaining.
Powered by twin Mercury 350hp outboards delivering 700hp total, and featuring joystick control and twin helm displays, the TH38 combines reliable performance with remarkably easy handling for a vessel of this size and capability.
Key Highlights
- Twin Mercury 350hp outboards with stainless steel propellers for smooth cruising. The powerful four-stroke engines provide confident acceleration and quiet operation, while stainless steel propellers ensure durability in diverse water conditions.
- Modular bench seating that converts from dining to relaxation layout. The versatile cockpit seating arrangement transforms effortlessly from an alfresco dining configuration to a comfortable lounging area, adapting to your entertaining needs throughout the day.
- Two windscreen options: full-height for protection or low-profile for airflow. Buyers can choose between enhanced weather protection for extended cruising or increased airflow and wind-in-the-hair experience for warm-weather day sailing.
- Generous fresh water (50 gal) and fuel (244 gal) capacity for extended trips. The substantial tankage supports multi-day coastal cruising without frequent provisioning stops, while the shallow 2-foot draft opens up anchorages inaccessible to deeper vessels.
- Electric windlass and 110V electrical circuit for convenience. The push-button anchoring system simplifies overnight stops, while the onboard electrical system supports modern appliances and device charging for guest comfort.
- Fiberglass catamaran hull with a shallow 2 ft draft for coastal exploration. The durable composite construction delivers low maintenance requirements, while the minimal draft allows beach landings, tidal creek exploration, and access to shallow protected anchorages.
