2003 Larson Cabrio 274

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much usable space Larson squeezed into 27 feet. The wide beam and raised cockpit give you a surprisingly social deck layout, with plenty of seating for sunset cruises and dockside entertaining. The molded swim platform sits low to the water, making it easy to hop in for a swim or launch the dinghy. Down below, there’s good headroom for a boat this size, plus natural light from well‑placed ports so the cabin doesn’t feel like a cave. The Cabrio’s integrated steps to the bow and sturdy rails make anchoring and line handling secure and drama‑free, even for less experienced crew.

This size and style of express cruiser shines in local waters where you’re mixing short hops, weekend overnights, and the occasional island run. The Cabrio 274’s beam offers a stable ride when the afternoon breeze kicks up, yet she’s compact enough to slip into tighter marina berths and guest docks. The cockpit layout works well for rafting up with friends or drifting on the hook, while the swim platform and easy bow access make swim stops and moorings practical. With real cabin comfort and efficient power, this model hits the sweet spot between day boat and pocket cruiser for the conditions and cruising grounds here.
