2005 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer

What stands out on this 340 Sundancer is how much “big boat” function they packed into a manageable length. Wide side decks and a secure bow rail make it easy to send someone forward to handle the hook, and the molded steps up from the helm keep it safe underway. The cockpit layout is ideal for entertaining, with a wraparound lounge that actually seats adults comfortably, plus a wet bar perfectly positioned so you’re not climbing in and out for drinks. Down below, the mid-cabin converts from a casual lounge to a private berth, so another couple or the kids get their own space. Generous storage in the galley and cockpit means you can actually pack for a long weekend without tripping over gear.

For the warm, shallow, and often breezy waters where this boat lives, the 340 Sundancer checks a lot of boxes. Twin gas inboards with a solid hull provide the punch to hop between sandbars and waterfront restaurants quickly, yet the boat is still compact enough to slip into tighter marina slips. The generous cockpit shade and full canvas make long days on the water more comfortable, while the air-conditioned cabin turns hot afternoons or surprise squalls into a non-event. With a moderate draft and a hull that handles afternoon chop confidently, this model is equally at home on relaxed day cruises or longer island-hopping weekends.
