Board from the broad fiberglass swim platform through the centerline transom door into the covered cockpit. Here, a custom storage box doubles as cushioned seating, while molded stairs with a stainless steel handrail lead to the flybridge. Side decks provide access to the foredeck, and a large screened sliding door opens into the salon.

Inside, warm wood finishes and a teak-and-holly sole create a welcoming living space. The lower helm sits forward to starboard beside a sliding side-deck door. The galley keeps meal preparation close to the main living area, with the two staterooms and head forward.

The salon is arranged for everyday comfort, with a futon-style sofa that converts to a full berth and the original adjustable Mainship high/low table. Opening screened windows, an opening center windshield, and the screened cockpit doorway provide natural ventilation.

A 32-inch Roku smart television, Kenwood Bluetooth stereo, and new salon curtains complement the space. Two-zone air conditioning with reverse-cycle heat adds comfort throughout the seasons. The electrical panel is by the main door for easy access.

Equipped for extended stays aboard, the galley features Corian countertops, generous cabinetry, and additional custom storage behind the television. A Nova Kool AC/DC refrigerator and freezer, replaced in June 2024, provides convenient cold storage.

Galley highlights include:

Three-burner Princess electric stove and oven
Sunbeam microwave
Built-in Black & Decker coffee maker
Stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressure water

Dream Looper offers two comfortable staterooms. The forward owner’s stateroom features an island queen berth with drawers and storage below, cedar-lined hanging lockers, bedside outlets, and reading lights. An overhead hatch and two portlights provide natural light and ventilation.

The guest stateroom to port features twin berths, a cedar-lined hanging locker, reading light, and under-berth storage. An opening hatch and portlight keep the space bright and airy. With the salon’s convertible full-size berth, Dream Looper accommodates up to six overnight.

The molded fiberglass head is designed for easy cleaning and includes a vanity with storage, a mirrored medicine cabinet, and a separate shower with a seat. Additional storage can be found in the shower. An opening hatch and portlight provide ventilation. The Jabsco electric raw-water toilet with macerator was replaced in January 2024.

The spacious flybridge is a natural gathering place, offering panoramic views, a double-width helm seat, port and starboard bench seating, and a folding centerline table. A hunter-green Sunbrella enclosure with zip-out clear panels provides shelter and flexible ventilation.

The upper helm includes engine instrumentation, bow thruster and windlass controls, trim tab controls, and navigation electronics. A rail-mounted Magma grill adds an outdoor cooking option, while a flybridge hoist makes lifting supplies aboard the upper deck more convenient.

The lower helm provides an indoor operating station with direct access to the starboard side deck—a useful feature when handling lines or docking. Equipment includes engine controls and gauges, a compass, Icom VHF, bow thruster controls, windlass controls, and trim tab controls.

Dream Looper is one of the popular Mainship 390's with classic trawler lines. She has a modified vee hull with a keel and the preferred single Caterpillar 3126 350 hp diesel for efficient running between 7-10 knots. These vessels are great loopers with low maintenance due to no outside varnish and fiberglass decks; they are very comfortable for a couple with occasional guests. The flybridge is a delight with her enclosure, convertible and expansive seating. Dream Looper has been owned by a knowledgeable captain and crew who have maintained all her systems correctly.
