1999 Searay 260 Sundancer

Step aboard and you’ll feel how roomy this 26-footer really is. The cockpit layout gives everyone a place to sit without crowding the helm, and the walk-through windshield makes bow access simple for anchoring or lounging. Below, the mid-cabin design offers real overnight comfort, not just a place to crash—great for a couple or small family. The classic Sea Ray dash puts gauges and switches right where you expect them, so running the boat feels natural even on a first outing. Thoughtful touches like molded steps, plenty of cup holders, and generous storage keep days on the water organized instead of cluttered.

A 260 Sundancer hits a sweet spot for local waters: big enough to tame afternoon chop, compact enough to slip into tighter marinas and shallower anchorages. The moderate draft and responsive sterndrive let you explore coves and sandbars that larger cruisers avoid. With a secure, family-friendly cockpit and a proper cabin, you can turn a quick afternoon run into an impromptu weekend away without needing a huge slip or complex systems. Efficiency at cruising speeds helps stretch your range between fuel stops, while the manageable size means easier trailering, ramp launches, and storage options year-round.
