2006 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer

Below decks, this 340 feels more like a compact express yacht than a mid-size cruiser. The open salon layout, real wood cabinetry, and generous headroom make long weekends onboard easy, whether you’re entertaining or escaping. The forward island berth gives you true “walk-around” access, not a cramped crawl-in bunk, and the mid-cabin converts from a lounge to a private guest space in minutes. The galley’s full-size appliances, deep storage, and solid-surface counters are ready for serious provisioning. On deck, the wide side decks and stout stainless rails inspire confidence when you’re handling lines, and the integrated swim platform is perfect for staging water toys or just sitting with your feet in the water at sunset.

For this stretch of river, the 340 Sundancer hits a sweet spot between big-water capability and easy handling in current and tight fairways. The deep-V hull smooths out passing barge wakes, while the inboards and robust running gear are well suited to shallow spots and the occasional floating debris. Her length and beam give you a stable platform at anchor when you’re tucked into popular coves, yet she’s still manageable for a cruising couple to dock without extra hands. With a comfortable enclosed cockpit and a climate-controlled cabin, she’s equally at home on shoulder-season runs as she is on peak-summer raft-ups.
