The ETAP 38i represents a high-water mark for the Belgian shipyard, combining the naval architecture of Philippe Briand with the company’s signature "unsinkable" double-hull construction. Launched in the late 1980s, the 38i was designed to compete with the premium European cruisers of the era, offering a level of safety and thermal insulation that few competitors could match. By injecting closed-cell polyurethane foam between the inner and outer fiberglass skins, ETAP created a vessel that remains buoyant even when completely swamped—a feature that earned the model its Category A "Ocean" rating. Beyond the safety statistics, the 38i is noted for its distinctive "panoramic" styling, featuring a raised coachroof that allows for an abundance of natural light and excellent visibility from the cabin.
