2005 Sea Ray 320 Sundancer

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam really pays off in usable cockpit space. There’s plenty of room to spread out around the wraparound seating, and the elevated helm gives the skipper a clear view forward even with a full crew relaxing aft. Below, the mid-cabin lounge converts quickly, so you can shift from afternoon hangout to quiet sleeping quarters without gymnastics. Storage is better than most boats this size, with deep lockers that actually swallow weekend bags and water toys. At the transom, the integrated swim platform and trunk-style storage make it easy to stage watersports or just set up a couple of chairs and watch the sunset at anchor.

For inland and canal-style cruising, this 320 Sundancer hits a sweet spot: big enough to feel solid in boat wakes and afternoon chop, yet still manageable in tighter fairways and fuel docks. The V-drive inboards simplify handling around marinas and make slow-speed maneuvering more predictable than comparable sterndrive setups. The mid-cabin layout works well for overnighting on the hook or long weekends in a covered slip, while the generator keeps the cabin cool and comfortable when shore power isn’t an option. With its generous cockpit seating and swim platform, it’s equally at home hosting dockside gatherings or running out for a relaxed evening cruise.
