About This Adventure

Experience the thrill of the SeaRay SDX 290, a powerful 30-foot sport boat perfect for adventurous families. With its agile handling, spacious seating, and luxurious amenities, including a large sundeck and multiple storage compartments, this boat is designed for unforgettable day-long excursions on Florida's beautiful waters.

BOAT DESCRIPTION

Are you looking for an agile Sport Boat that your whole family will love? Then, the SeaRay SDX 290 is perfect. With two outboard engines and 500 HP, this model ranks among the most powerful boats in our fleet – not suited for beginners, but ideal for experienced boaters who want to get to their destination quickly. In best Bowrider fashion, the SDX 290 offers excellent handling and stability, even at top-speed.

Navigation is made easy by a GPS and depth finder; antireflective coating helps reduce glare, and in addition, you can look forward to comfort on another level. The captain benefits from a padded, extra-wide seat that can be adjusted in height for better visibility.

On a length of 30 ft, the SeaRay SDX 290 features multiple sitting areas. Take the L-shaped lounge at the stern, for example. Here, you can sit next to your friends or relax lying down. Simply retract the two cockpit seats to create even more space. Cupholders, a refrigerator, running water and stereo speakers make this area perfect for socializing, and right behind it, you will find a large sundeck.

Next to the two outboard engines, swim platforms make it easy to get in and out the water. Of course, the platforms feature non-slip surfaces and a shower to rinse off after swimming. Or how about enjoying the ocean breeze? No problem. The bowside lounge offers enough room for sitting and sunbathing. Alternatively, use the filler cushions to transform this area into an even larger sundeck.

Florida´s weather lends itself to boat rides that last the whole day – and this is what the SeaRay SDX 290 was designed for. Sternside, where other boats have an inboard engine, you will find ample space for your luggage. But not only that: There are 9 compartments in different sizes located all across the deck. This way, you can take even large and bulky equipment with you.

The SeaRay SDX 290 can accommodate up to 16 people in total. However, for extra-comfort, we recommend a maximum number of 14 passengers.
