2001 Privateer 2800 SEA PROWLER

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide, open cockpit leaves room for serious crews to move without tangling rods or feet. The 2800 SEA PROWLER’s heavy-duty hull and high gunwales feel reassuring when the breeze stiffens and the chop stacks up. Forward, the raised bow area gives you a stable casting platform and extra storage for safety gear and tackle. The simple, workboat-style layout means washdowns are quick and everything has its place. This is a captain’s boat: easy to see over the bow, responsive on the wheel, and trimmed for long runs without beating you or your crew up on the ride home.

The 2800 SEA PROWLER shines in this region’s mix of shallow flats, open bays, and nearshore structure. Its draft lets you work closer to the edges of bars and channels, while the solid, commercial-grade hull handles the afternoon chop that builds on open water. There’s enough length and beam to run comfortably on longer hops to reefs and wrecks, yet it’s still manageable for trailering and quick launches. The open deck layout suits everything from live-bait slow trolling to bottom fishing and drift casting, making it a versatile platform for the varied conditions and fisheries you’ll encounter here.
