2015 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 280 Sundancer punches well above her size class belowdecks. The mid‑cabin tucks two adults away in real comfort, while the forward berth easily converts from a social dinette to a roomy double for overnighting. Large hull windows and overhead hatches keep the cabin bright and ventilated, even on gray days. At the helm, the clean, ergonomic layout and tilt wheel make longer runs far less tiring, and the walk‑through windshield lets you reach the bow safely for line handling or lounging. Add in tidy engine access and sea‑kindly hull lines, and you’ve got a pocket cruiser that’s easy to own, easy to run, and genuinely weekend‑capable.

This 280 Sundancer is sized perfectly for the protected passages, island hops, and varied shorelines common in this region. At under thirty feet, it’s nimble enough for tighter marinas and smaller, more affordable slips, yet still offers a true cabin experience when weather turns. The deep‑V hull handles afternoon chop with confidence, while the enclosed cockpit and overnight accommodations let you stretch a simple day trip into a comfortable two‑ or three‑day escape. It’s an excellent match for local boating conditions: efficient to run, simple for a couple to manage, and versatile enough to explore everything from quiet coves to busier harborfronts.
