2018 Sea Ray 250 SLX

Slide into the captain’s chair on this 250 SLX and everything falls right to hand—intuitive dash layout, smart switch placement, and a helm that actually feels like it was designed for real-world use, not a brochure. The wide, social cockpit and wraparound aft lounge make it easy to keep everyone together, whether you’re pulling riders or just drifting with a playlist humming through the premium sound system. The convertible sunpad transforms quickly from chaise to swim platform hangout, so nobody’s waiting around while you reconfigure cushions. Add in the deep freeboard and solid, confident stance at rest, and you’ve got a sport boat that feels secure for kids and guests without sacrificing that athletic, performance-minded personality.

In these warm, often-busy coastal waters, the 250 SLX shines as a versatile day boat that handles both open chop and crowded sandbar scenes with ease. The deep-V hull soaks up afternoon wind waves, while the length and beam give you a stable platform for rafting up or loading a full crew. With generous seating and an enclosed head onboard, you can stay out from morning runs to sunset cruises without heading back to the dock. The integrated swim platform and easy water access are ideal for frequent dips, snorkeling, or tow sports, and the upscale fit and finish match the premium marinas and waterfront hangouts that define this boating area.
