2017 Cutwater C-24 Sport Coupe

Step into the C-24 Sport Coupe and you’ll notice how much big-boat thinking is packed into 24 feet. The helm feels secure and protected, yet the sightlines are wide open, making tight docking or weaving through moorings far less stressful. The convertible dinette and forward berth create a surprisingly cozy overnight nest, and clever storage under nearly every cushion swallows gear, crab pots, and extra lines. Wide side decks and stout bow rails give you confidence moving forward when it’s lumpy. The cockpit layout makes it easy to switch from trolling to lounging; drop a couple of deck chairs, open up the transom, and you’ve got a social hub that still leaves room to work the rods or handle lines.

This C-24 Sport Coupe shines in waters where the forecast can flip from flat calm to choppy in a single afternoon. The hull has enough deadrise and weight to soften wind waves, while the compact size and single sterndrive keep fuel burns sensible on longer runs between harbors or island anchorages. You get an enclosed helm for cool, misty days, but the openable windows and removable canvas turn it into an airy dayboat when the sun appears. Shallow draft and nimble handling are ideal for exploring tight coves, transient docks, and busy marinas, giving you big-cruiser comfort without big-boat limitations.
