2018 Sea Ray 310 SLX

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the deep, secure freeboard makes everyone feel confident when the chop kicks up. The 310 SLX’s wide beam carries forward, so the bow becomes a true social zone rather than an afterthought, with contoured loungers that keep guests facing the conversation, not the gunwales. At the helm, the double-wide seat with flip-up bolsters lets you run standing, seated, or halfway in between, ideal on longer runs. Below, the compact cabin with head offers a cool, quiet place to change, stash gear, or wait out a passing squall. Add in the solid, substantial feel of the hull and you get a day boat that rides like a much bigger machine.

In these waters, conditions can swing from flat morning glass to afternoon wind chop, and the 310 SLX is built for exactly that mix. The substantial hull and wide beam deliver a confident ride when the breeze builds, while the open layout makes sandbar rafting and cove-hopping effortless. Shaded seating lets guests escape the midday sun, and the enclosed head means you’re not tied to shore facilities. The generous swim platform and easy access to the water are perfect for frequent dips, snorkeling, or towing water toys. For a region where quick runs between waterfront hangouts and long, lazy raft‑ups are the norm, this model hits a very comfortable sweet spot.
