2009 Rinker 296 Captiva BowriderSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much room this 29-footer gives you to spread out. The deep, secure bow seats feel more like a lounge than a cockpit, and the wide beam carries that space all the way aft, so a full crew can relax without climbing over each other. At the helm, the captain gets a sporty, automotive-style dash with clear gauges and a comfortable double-wide seat, ideal for long runs. Storage is generous throughout, with dedicated spots for boards, lines, fenders, and all the day’s gear tucked neatly out of the way. Add in the integrated swim platform with a sturdy ladder and it’s obvious this boat was built for people who spend more time in the water than on the couch.

This 296 Captiva shines in local waters where conditions can shift from glassy calm to choppy afternoon wakes. Its substantial hull and wide stance give a reassuring ride when boat traffic picks up, while the open bow and spacious cockpit make it easy to host a crowd on those long, lazy raft-ups. The generous freeboard keeps guests dry when a breeze kicks up, and the large swim platform makes sandbar stops and shoreline visits simple. With its dayboat layout, enclosed head, and ample shade options, this Rinker is tailored for full days on the water, from early-morning cruises to sunset runs back to the dock.
