2020 Cape Horn 27OS

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam carries forward, giving you a huge working cockpit and plenty of elbow room around the console. The transom layout makes it easy to slide a fish through the door, then pivot straight to the rigging station without losing your footing. Forward, the wraparound seating and insulated boxes pull double duty as serious fish storage or a comfortable lounge on family days. The hardware and hinges are all heavy-duty, with that solid, no-rattle feel when you open a hatch underway. Add in high gunnels, deep walkways, and thoughtful toe rails, and this 27OS feels much bigger and more secure than the LOA suggests.

In this area, you need a boat that can run offshore when the forecast looks good, yet still feel at home working nearshore structure and sandbars. The 27OS hits that sweet spot. Its hull handles afternoon chop and confused seas with confidence, while the fuel capacity and efficient twins give you range for bluewater runs without constant fuel stops. The generous fish boxes, livewell capacity, and rod storage are ideal for trolling edges one day and bottom fishing the next. At the same time, the forward seating, shade options, and easy swim access make it equally practical for sandbar raft-ups and family cruising along the coastline.
