Hi folks I'm sure there have been discussions about this in the past but I can't find them. We leaving from Alaska to pick up our new/old 3288 in Sidney B.C. and we need to take bed sheets for the aft cabin. Folks have called the bunk a King but is it really? Will California King sheets fit or do we really have to pick up full sized King sheets? Anyone have measurements? Sure would appreciate any info so we'll have the right sheets when we head south. Thanks much!

Absolutely certain about the standard King size but I think that would be more like 76x80.

I thought a standard King is square and California King is narrower but longer.
Edit: I was half correct :lol: CapMartin has it.
Here's some info

It's standard king size for the sheets but the length of the mattress differs (forward length 3" more that aft length) due to the narrowing of the hull.

I measured for fitted sheets just a few days ago, so you can believe me .....

I use king size sheets, but queen blankets and comforter because there is no overhang on the one side or the foot of the mattress.

I'd be like a kid in a candy shop on a trip like that and could never hit the bed sheets anyways.
I don't know why I thought of this and you may already have one but if you don't please consider getting a carbon monoxide detector.
If someone wanted a little shut eye while the other decided to push on it would be comforting to know you have that protection.
Just in the last year we've had two deaths resulting from someone taking a snooze in the aft cabin.
Your trip sounds mighty exciting....good luck

Thank you Dan. I don't know if the boat has a detector back there or not but I will install one before I leave. I've made the trip many times and it's a beautiful trip but it's the real deal and my internal hyper-alert mode doesn't shut down until I reach Duke Island in Alaska.
