2009 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer

This 270 Sundancer hits that sweet spot between trailerable convenience and big-boat comfort. It’s the kind of cruiser you can haul to new water on Friday, splash in the ramp, and be grilling at anchor by sunset. The cockpit layout really shines when you’ve got a mix of kids and adults aboard: plenty of secure seating underway, then it opens up nicely for hanging out when you’re on the hook. Down below, the cabin feels surprisingly open for a 27-footer, with enough separation between the forward berth and mid-cabin to give everyone a bit of privacy. Add in the generator and climate control, and you’re set for true overnighting, not just “camping out” on the water.

For this region’s mix of inland lakes, winding rivers, and near-coastal runs, the 270 Sundancer is a smart all‑rounder. Its beam and hull form give you a stable ride when afternoon chop kicks up, yet it’s still easy to manage at the ramp or in tighter marina fairways. The trailer opens up a huge cruising range without long delivery runs by water. Air conditioning and a proper enclosed cabin make shoulder-season weekends comfortable when evenings cool down or sudden showers move through. With efficient MerCruiser power and a practical layout above and below decks, it’s a versatile platform for everything from quick evening cruises to extended long‑weekend getaways.
