2015 Sea Fox 286 Commander

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam carries forward, giving extra elbow room around the console and up in the bow. The deep, secure freeboard makes it a comfortable ride when the chop picks up, and families will appreciate the generous seating with backrests that actually support you on longer runs. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent, and the leaning post setup keeps you locked in while still offering storage and space for a cooler underneath. Thoughtful touches—like toe rails, bolsters, and well-placed grab handles—make moving around the boat feel natural, whether you’re working lines or just grabbing a drink and settling into the forward lounge.

This 286 Commander suits local waters where conditions can swing from calm mornings to afternoon wind and current. The hull’s offshore pedigree gives you the confidence to push out to nearshore structure, while the layout still feels manageable for quick hops to sandbars and waterfront hangouts. Multiple insulated boxes, livewell capacity, and a clean, uncluttered cockpit make it ideal for trolling, bottom fishing, or chasing seasonal runs. At the same time, the generous bow seating and aft bench create an easy transition to family cruising duty, so you’re not locked into a single-purpose rig when the weekend plans change.
