2019 Sea Fox 248 Commander

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 248 Commander feels bigger than her length suggests. The deep freeboard and generous bow seating keep family and crew feeling secure, even when the chop picks up. Helm chairs with bolsters make long runs comfortable, and the fold-away transom seat opens up the cockpit when it’s time to chase fish. There’s a surprisingly roomy head compartment in the console, a big plus for mixed crews and full days on the water. Thoughtful touches like abundant rod storage, stainless hardware, and easy-clean surfaces show this hull was designed for real use, not just showroom shine.

This 248 Commander shines in local waters where conditions can swing from flat calm mornings to afternoon wind and boat traffic. The sharp entry and solid hull help soften short, confused chop, while the outboard power gives you the speed to outrun weather windows and tides. It’s small enough to trailer easily to different ramps and inlets, yet substantial enough to feel confident running open stretches or working near-shore structure. The layout suits a typical day here: early fishing offshore or along rips, then anchoring in a cove or sandbar with plenty of seating and shade for family and friends.
