2019 Ranger Tugs R-29 CB

Up on the flybridge, the R-29 CB really shines: the wraparound seating, fold-out tables, and elevated sightlines turn a simple harbor cruise into the best seats in the house. Down below, big windows and a clever galley layout make the salon feel more like a tiny waterfront condo than a 29-footer. The cockpit is surprisingly versatile, with seating that converts quickly from lounging to dining, and wide side decks with high rails that feel secure underway. Thoughtful touches are everywhere—like dedicated storage for fenders and lines, integrated cockpit lighting for evenings at anchor, and a swim platform that’s actually usable for dinghy boarding, swimming, or cleaning the catch.

This R-29 CB is particularly well-suited to warm, shallow, and often busy cruising grounds. The modest draft and thrusters make it comfortable weaving through sandbar areas, tight fairways, and narrow channels, while the efficient diesel keeps fuel stops to a minimum on longer ICW-style runs. Air conditioning and a generator mean you can anchor out in humid weather and still sleep comfortably, and the covered cockpit and flybridge provide sun protection during long days on the water. Its size is ideal for slips and marina fees, yet the layout easily handles a couple plus guests, making it a smart choice for extended regional cruising or weekend harbor-hopping.
