2017 Monterey 378 SE

From the dock, this 378 SE looks like a sleek dayboat, but step aboard and you’ll see she’s set up for serious weekends. The wide beam carries well forward, so the bow feels more like a private lounge than a typical open runabout. High freeboard and deep seating keep guests secure when the afternoon chop kicks up, while the walk-through windshield and molded steps make moving forward natural and safe. At the helm, sightlines are excellent whether you’re idling into a tight fairway or running at speed, and the ergonomics make long runs easy on your back and shoulders. Storage is generous and intelligently placed, so gear, lines, and water toys disappear neatly between trips.

This 378 SE is especially well-suited to local waters where you may jump from flat morning runs to breezy afternoon swells in a single outing. Her hull and beam give a stable, confident ride when afternoon winds stack up the chop, while the open bow and expansive cockpit let you chase the sun and sea breeze all day. Short island hops, sandbar raft-ups, and harbor evenings are all in her wheelhouse, with the cabin and climate control turning a spontaneous sunset cruise into an unplanned overnight without missing a beat. It’s a versatile platform for boaters who want to enjoy every corner of their home waters in comfort.
