2020 Yamaha Boats 275 SD

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the 275 SD is laid out for long days on the water. The cockpit feels more like a floating lounge, with deep, secure seating and plenty of shaded space thanks to the oversized hardtop. Storage is everywhere—under seats, in the floor, and in dedicated compartments that swallow boards, lines, and fenders with room to spare. Sound carries crisply through the premium stereo, and the mood lighting makes evening cruises feel special rather than routine. At anchor, the low swim platform and rear-facing seats keep everyone connected to the water, while the enclosed head and changing space make it easy to stretch outings from a few hours into a full day.

In this region’s mix of open bays, winding channels, and shallow coves, the 275 SD’s jet propulsion really shines. No exposed props means you can nose into sandbars and beachy shorelines with extra confidence, and the shallow draft is a big plus when tides or water levels drop. Afternoon chop is handled well by the deep, wide hull, keeping passengers dry and comfortable on longer runs between waterfront hangouts. With space for a crowd and plenty of gear, it’s ideal for hosting friends on busy weekends, yet nimble enough to explore quieter backwaters during the week. This model balances performance, versatility, and comfort in a way that suits local waters perfectly.
