SARGO 36 Explorer boasts a very seaworthy hull providing a soft and dry ride due to the raised bow section. The extra wide walkaround layout features the non-skid single-level deck, making it both easy and safe to move around. An extra large sliding cabin hatch consisting of three windows lets the sunshine and fresh sea air in. A inviting gathering area can be found on the stern deck.

This stately 36-footer offers two spacious cabins as bedrooms, in the front a toilet with separate shower cabinet and a second head in the aft cabin. The standard amenities include an efficient heating system, an inverter, a gas oven and a well-equipped pantry. The hull is divided into two water-tight sections enhancing the overall safety. If you want to combine sportiness with common sense, Sargo 36 Explorer offers a fantastic trade-off.
