2017 Monterey 295 Sport Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll feel how thoughtfully this 295 Sport Yacht is laid out for long weekends on the water. The raised helm gives you great visibility, while the companion lounge lets a guest stretch out beside the captain instead of perching on a jump seat. Aft, the wraparound cockpit seating and convertible sunpad flow naturally to the swim platform, so it’s easy to move from cruising to swimming or grilling. Below, the open mid-cabin design feels more like a small condo than a typical weekender, with generous headroom, clever storage, and inviting ambient lighting that makes overnighting surprisingly comfortable for family or another couple.

This 295 Sport Yacht is a savvy choice for local waters where you might run from protected harbors to open fetch in a single day. The broad beam and deep hull give you the confidence to handle afternoon chop, yet the boat remains compact enough to tuck into tighter slips and shallow coves. It’s an ideal size for day boating with a crew of friends, but still fully capable of comfortable overnight cruises to nearby anchorages. Easy to manage for an owner-operator, it offers the amenities of a larger cruiser without the added operating costs or dockage headaches.
