Description
The Bayliner 2859 Ciera Cruiser is a conservatively styled hardtop cruiser with a practical layout and great appeal for cruising and fishing.
The layout of this boat is similar to most hardtop models her size with the helm and sofa on the bridge deck, and the dinette, galley, and V-berth on the lower level. What sets the 2859 apart from the norm is her amidships berth beneath the bridge deck—a layout that brings the sleeping capacity to six. A privacy curtain separates the forward berth from the salon, and there’s a handheld shower in the stand-up head compartment. While the cockpit of the 2859 Express is fairly small, it’s still large enough for a couple of light-tackle anglers or folding deck chairs. Additional features include a well-equipped galley with plenty of storage, a swim platform and boarding ladder, and a transom door.
Key features include but not limited to;
- 6 Gallon Hot Water Tank
- Electric/Alcohol Dual Burner Stove
- Microwave
- Pump-out Head
- Standard Horizon 10” Chartplotter
- Hummingbird Fish Finder
- Standard Horizon VHF
- Aft Deck Freshwater Washdown
- Motomaster 3000w Inverter
- 32” LCD TV
- Upgraded Stereo
- Freshwater Pump
-
This 2859 features a rebuilt 7.4L MerCruiser engine with about 150 hours!

As a fourth-generation boater, I grew up exploring the waters of Georgian Bay and developed a lifelong passion for boating from an early age. With deep family roots in the marine community, the love of life on the water runs in my blood.
I spent my summers growing up working at Bay Port Yachting Centre and South Bay Cove Yachting Haven, gaining hands-on experience and a deep understanding of marina operations, customer service, and the boating lifestyle.
I hold a Finance degree from Dalhousie University and combine my business background with real-world marine experience to deliver knowledgeable, professional service in the yacht sales industry. As a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB), Iâm dedicated to helping clients navigate the process of buying or selling a vessel with confidence and ease.
