2014 Sea Ray 280 Sundeck

Slide behind the wheel of this 280 Sundeck and you immediately feel how much room Sea Ray carved into 28 feet. The wide bow loungers invite everyone forward, while the deep, secure cockpit keeps guests comfortable when the afternoon chop kicks up. The helm is laid out so you can run with one hand on the wheel and one on the throttles, with clean sightlines all around. A proper head compartment keeps long days on the water easy with family and friends. Wraparound seating, clever storage for boards and lines, and a walk-through transom to the swim platform make it a natural basecamp for swimming, sandbar rafting, and sunset cruises.

In local waters where weekends are all about sandbars, harbor hopping, and quick runs to a favorite waterfront spot, the 280 Sundeck hits a sweet spot. It’s big enough to handle afternoon boat traffic and wind chop with confidence, yet still easy to dock in a tight slip or maneuver around busy fuel docks. The open bow and generous cockpit seating let a crew spread out instead of crowding each other, and the enclosed head turns a short outing into an all‑day escape. Shallow draft and a broad swim platform make beaching, swimming, and watersports simple, whether you’re exploring coves or anchoring close to shore.
