2014 Sea Ray Sundancer 260

The Sea Ray Sundancer series is a narrow-beamed, low-profile sports cruiser that emphasises the outdoor lifestyle that boating invokes, yet incorporates the intimacy, luxury and comfort that overnighting and weekending have to offer for a couple, a young family – or perhaps two couples!

For a day out with friends, there’s plenty of seating in the cockpit, much of which converts to sun lounges, a wet bar and removable drinks/food cooler, The offset transom door and wide boarding platform are ideal for access at the jetty, marina, or to and from the water. The fully moulded cockpit liner is well fitted. Because it’s self draining, the boat can easily be cleaned after a day’s outing with a good hose-down.

This boat is easy to handle and very manoeuvrable despite its single-engine fitup. There isn’t too much bulk for the hull to be affected too much by wind and it’s not too hard to manoeuvre the boat by engine and/or by hand into some of the more awkward berthing spots. It’s not an expert’s boat and therefore it’s not going to turn the pleasures of boating into despair when it comes to berthing or laying up overnight.
