2000 Sea Ray 290 Sundancer

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 290 Sundancer is laid out for real-world use. The transom door and molded steps make it easy to move from the swim platform to the foredeck, whether you’re handling lines or just chasing the sunset. The U-shaped cockpit seating invites everyone to stay outside, with room to spread out without bumping elbows. Below, the mid-cabin creates a true private retreat for overnight guests, while the galley has enough storage and counter space to handle more than just snacks. Plenty of opening ports and hatches keep the cabin bright and ventilated, so it never feels like you’re tucked in a cave.

This 290 Sundancer is well-suited to the mix of open water and protected harbors in the region. Its size makes it comfortable enough to handle afternoon chop with confidence, yet it’s compact enough to slip into tighter marina slips and fuel docks. The generous cockpit works beautifully for raft-ups and dockside gatherings, while the enclosed cabin lets you stretch the season on cool spring and fall weekends. With its cruiser layout, you can run out for a day cruise, then stay aboard overnight without needing shoreside accommodations, making it a practical choice for local cruising grounds.
