2002 Sea Ray 290 Amberjack

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the Amberjack blends a beamy, confident stance with a cockpit that feels bigger than a typical 29-footer. The wide helm bench gives you and a mate a proper command post, with good sightlines even when throttling up. Anglers will appreciate the deep freeboard and solid coamings when you’re working a fish, while cruisers will love how easily the cockpit converts into a lounging and entertaining zone. Down below, the mid-cabin layout creates real separation for sleeping two couples, and the generous headroom keeps it from feeling cave-like. It’s that rare boat where an early-morning troll and a late-night family movie both feel right at home.

In these waters, conditions can change quickly, and the 290 Amberjack’s hull and weight provide a reassuring, planted ride when the chop kicks up. The generous cockpit space suits everything from drifting nearshore structure to rafting up with friends in sheltered coves. Its fuel capacity and twin-engine setup give you the confidence to stretch your cruising range while still getting back before weather turns. Shallow draft lets you explore sandbars and back bays without drama, and the cabin’s practical layout means overnights or weekend hops are comfortable instead of cramped. It’s a smart, do-it-all platform for boaters who split their time between fishing, cruising, and family days on the water.
