1999 Sea Ray 380 Sundancer

What stands out on this 380 is how usable every inch feels underway and at anchor. Wide side decks and a secure bow rail make line handling and anchoring far less of a gymnastics routine. At the helm, sightlines are excellent for a boat this size, and the rocker switches and analog gauges are laid out so you’re not hunting for anything when the seas kick up. The generator and air conditioning make summer overnights genuinely comfortable, and the sound insulation around the engine room keeps conversation easy in the cockpit. Access to systems is straightforward, with roomy engine space and service points you can actually reach, which matters when it’s time for real-world maintenance, not just Sunday cruising.

This 380 Sundancer is a smart match for local waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to short, choppy seas in a hurry. The deep-V hull and substantial beam give you a confident, predictable ride on afternoon runs and longer weekend hops to favorite anchorages. With a generous swim platform and easy boarding, it’s ideal for sandbar days, snorkeling stops, and towing water toys. The open cockpit layout works well for dockside entertaining, yet the enclosed cabin turns sudden squalls or cool evenings into a non-issue. Add in the range, storage, and overnight comfort, and you get a cruiser that handles both quick day trips and extended getaways with equal ease.
