1992 BAJA 270

Slide into the cockpit and you’ll see why these classic 27-foot Bajas still turn heads at the dock. The helm layout is simple and driver-focused, with deep bolsters that let you really lock in when the water gets choppy. The cabin offers just enough space to duck out of the sun, stash gear, or stretch out for a quick overnight without feeling cramped. High freeboard and a pronounced bow flare help keep the ride drier than you’d expect at speed. The lines are pure offshore nostalgia—long, lean, and aggressive—so it looks fast even at idle, making it as much fun to pull up to the sandbar as it is to open up on open water.

A 27-foot performance hull is a sweet spot for local waters where conditions can change from calm to lumpy in a hurry. The Baja 270 bridges that gap nicely: big and deep enough to handle afternoon chop with confidence, yet compact enough for trailering to different ramps and exploring new shorelines. Its running surface is designed to slice through wind waves without beating up your crew, and the cockpit layout works well for a day of cruising, anchoring off a beach, or quick runs between marinas. For this area’s mix of open fetch, busy channels, and shallow coves, it’s a versatile, confidence-inspiring package.
