2008 Crownline 270 CR

Below deck, the 270 CR feels more like a smart little waterfront condo than a weekender. The mid-cabin layout gives you a surprisingly private sleeping nook, plus a roomy V-berth/lounge that actually invites you to stretch out with a book. The galley is compact but genuine—enough counter space to fix real meals, with storage tucked into every corner. Step back into the cockpit and you’ve got an easy flow from swim platform to companion seat, perfect for those all-day raft-ups. High freeboard and a solid hull give a reassuring ride when the chop builds, while the integrated swim platform and transom shower make it simple to slide from cruising mode into swim-and-sun mode in seconds.

This 270 CR is a sweet spot for local waters that demand versatility. It’s big enough to handle afternoon wind chop with confidence, yet still small enough to slip into tighter marina slips and busy fuel docks without drama. The cabin’s generous headroom and real overnighting space mean you can turn a casual day cruise into an impromptu weekend away when the weather and tides line up. Shallow-draft friendly, it’s well suited to exploring quieter coves and sandbars, while the open cockpit layout works beautifully for sunset cruises with friends or family tubing sessions just off the beach.
