Our Thoughts

The 2024 Nuova Jolly Prince 38 represents Italian marine engineering at its finest—a purpose-built center console that delivers genuine performance without compromise. Measuring 38 feet in length with a 12.5-foot beam, this boat combines responsive handling with the practical layout demanded by serious boaters who value both capability and comfort.

Power comes from twin Mercury Verado 500R V8 engines producing 1,000 horsepower combined, a configuration engineered for acceleration and sustained cruising efficiency. The 163-gallon fuel capacity supports extended time on the water, while the 39-gallon fresh water tank ensures self-sufficiency during day trips or overnight anchoring. With a maximum capacity rating of 18 passengers, the Prince 38 CC accommodates family outings, entertaining, or charter-style operations.

The center console design maximizes usable deck space and sightlines, a hallmark of Nuova Jolly's approach to functional boat design. The cabin provides a retreat from the elements, while the cockpit integrates a dinette table, refrigerator, and sink—practical amenities that extend comfort and reduce dependence on shore facilities. An electric table leg at the bow offers flexible seating configuration, converting between dining and lounging arrangements depending on the day's priorities.

Navigation and communication are handled by a Raymarine Axiom+ 12 multifunction display with transducer, paired with a Ray53 VHF radio and antenna extension, providing reliable coastal and offshore capability. A bow thruster enhances docking control in challenging conditions, while the fiberglass T-top with carbon masts and bimini extension delivers weather protection and structural efficiency. Audio is supported by a 6-speaker system with USB connectivity, subwoofer, and amplifier.

2024 Nuova Jolly Prince 38 Center Console: Italian Performance Craft with Twin Mercury Verado V8s
Overview
The 2024 Nuova Jolly Prince 38 represents a refined approach to center console design, combining Italian craftsmanship with American V8 power. At 38 feet in length with a 12-foot-6-inch beam, this model delivers the speed and handling characteristics expected from a modern performance center console while maintaining the practical layout that appeals to day boaters, anglers, and families seeking a versatile platform. Powered by twin Mercury Verado 500R V8 engines producing 1,000 total horsepower, the Prince 38 cuts through the water with purposeful acceleration and cruising efficiency. As a dealer stock vessel used exclusively for boat show display and demonstrations, this example represents an opportunity to acquire a current-model Nuova Jolly with minimal operational history.
Design and Layout Philosophy
Nuova Jolly has positioned the Prince 38 as a dual-purpose vessel—equally at home as a day cruiser for family outings, a fishing platform, or a tender for larger yachts. The center console configuration provides unobstructed deck space and excellent sightlines from the helm, a fundamental requirement for safe navigation and fish spotting. The 38-foot length balances maneuverability in tight waters with sufficient beam (12'6") to generate stable, dry-running hull characteristics in moderate seas. The boat's fiberglass construction and Italian design heritage emphasize both durability and aesthetic appeal, reflecting the brand's reputation for vessels that perform as well as they appear.
Helm and Electronics
The Prince 38 is equipped with a Raymarine Axiom+ 12 multifunction display paired with a compatible transducer, providing modern navigation, sonar, and situational awareness capabilities. The Axiom+ platform supports integrated chart plotting, real-time sonar imaging, and waypoint management—essential tools for confident navigation and fishing applications. A Ray53 VHF radio with antenna and cable extension ensures reliable communication across the range of typical boating activities. The helm layout supports efficient operation, with the center console position offering 360-degree visibility and convenient access to throttles, trim controls, and electronic systems. A bow thruster adds maneuverability in tight spaces, reducing helm effort during docking and low-speed maneuvering.
Seating, Comfort, and Entertaining Features
The Prince 38 addresses the practical needs of extended boating sessions through thoughtful seating and amenity integration. The bow area features a configurable setup with an electric table leg option for a formal dining or entertaining arrangement, or a large lounge pad configuration for relaxed seating and sunbathing. This flexibility allows owners to adapt the bow space to their preferred use—whether hosting guests, accommodating crew, or simply enjoying open-air comfort underway. A fiberglass T-top with bimini extension and carbon masts provides sun and weather protection for the helm and upper deck areas, essential for extended time on the water. The cockpit includes a refrigerator and sink, supporting entertaining and refreshment during day trips or longer outings. An audio system with six speakers, USB input, subwoofer, and amplifier delivers quality sound throughout the deck spaces, enhancing the onboard experience.
Cabin and Interior Accommodations
The Prince 38 features a single cabin, a practical consideration for a 38-foot center console. This enclosed space provides shelter, a retreat from weather, and basic overnight capability for weekend trips or emergency conditions. The cabin integrates with the overall deck layout rather than dominating it, preserving the open-water functionality that defines the center console category. A dinette table in the cockpit area provides additional flexibility for meals, charting, or casual gathering, complementing the cabin space without requiring passengers to retreat below deck.
Power and Performance Characteristics
Twin Mercury Verado 500R V8 engines represent a significant commitment to performance and reliability. The Verado platform combines direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and advanced combustion management to deliver responsive acceleration, smooth mid-range operation, and efficient cruising. With 1,000 total horsepower, the Prince 38 achieves the speed and handling characteristics that appeal to buyers seeking an engaging boating experience. The dual-engine configuration provides redundancy—if one engine requires service, the other remains available for operation—and allows for refined trim and balance adjustments during cruising. Mercury's comprehensive parts network and service infrastructure support long-term ownership confidence.
Fuel and Water Capacity
A 163-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising range, reducing the frequency of refueling stops during typical boating days or weekend trips. The 39-gallon freshwater capacity accommodates galley use, head operation, and basic washing needs, appropriate for a day-cruiser or short-trip profile. These capacities reflect the Prince 38's design as a performance-oriented vessel rather than a long-range cruising platform.
Passenger Capacity and Regulatory Compliance
The Prince 38 is rated for a maximum of 18 passengers, reflecting its spacious deck layout and seating arrangements. This capacity supports family outings, entertaining groups, or fishing parties while maintaining safe weight distribution and stability margins. The boat's 7,055-pound weight rating accounts for the structural and propulsion systems integrated into the design.
Construction and Craftsmanship
Nuova Jolly's Italian heritage is evident in the Prince 38's construction quality and aesthetic attention. Fiberglass hull and superstructure construction provides durability, low maintenance, and structural integrity. The carbon masts on the T-top reduce weight aloft, improving handling and fuel efficiency. Every detail—from the bimini extension to the stainless steel hardware—reflects an expectation of quality materials and finishing that distinguishes Italian-built vessels in the global market.
Dealer Stock Advantage
This specific Prince 38 was used exclusively for boat show display and demonstrations, meaning it represents a current-model example with minimal operational wear. Prospective buyers can evaluate a production 2024 model in its intended configuration without concerns about prior commercial use, rental history, or undisclosed service needs. The boat is offered through Sea Native Boat Sales, located in Edgewater , Maryland, providing a regional resource for pre-purchase consultation, sea trials, and post-sale support.
Why the Prince 38 Merits Consideration
The 2024 Nuova Jolly Prince 38 appeals to buyers seeking a modern, Italian-designed center console with proven performance credentials and practical versatility. Twin Mercury Verado V8s deliver the acceleration and efficiency expected from contemporary marine power, while the Raymarine Axiom+ electronics platform provides navigation and sonar capability appropriate to the boat's mission. The configurable bow seating, T-top protection, cockpit amenities, and audio system create an entertaining platform for families and groups, while the center console layout preserves the open-water functionality that defines the category. Whether used for day cruising, entertaining, fishing, or as a capable tender for a larger yacht, the Prince 38 balances performance, comfort, and Italian design in a package that reflects Nuova Jolly's commitment to functional beauty and maritime capability.
