2023 Ranger Tugs R-25

Step aboard and you’ll feel how much Ranger packs into 25 feet without it ever feeling cramped. The cockpit has a clever, social layout with convertible seating that lets you face the water, the helm, or the grill, depending on the moment. Wide, secure side decks and stout rails make moving forward to handle lines or drop the hook feel confident, even when it’s lumpy. Inside, the raised dinette and large windows keep everyone connected to the scenery, not staring at bulkheads. A surprisingly generous head, proper shower setup, and a real berth—not a “make-do” cushion maze—turn quick overnights into comfortable long weekends.

This R-25 is particularly well suited to local waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to steep chop in a single outing. The semi-displacement hull and pronounced bow flare help soften the ride and keep spray off the windshield when afternoon winds pipe up. Shallow draft and protected running gear open up quiet coves, skinny inlets, and tucked-away moorage that deeper boats can’t reach. The enclosed helm and solid weather protection extend your cruising season well beyond fair-weather months, while the manageable size makes it easy to slip into smaller marinas and side-tie spaces that larger cruisers have to pass by.
