2017 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much thought went into making this 26-footer feel like a bigger express cruiser. The molded-in swim platform and walk-through transom make it easy to move from water to cockpit without juggling gear, and the wraparound cockpit seating invites you to turn every outing into a social cruise. Down below, the mid-cabin creates a surprisingly private sleeping nook, ideal for weekend overnights, while the galley has just enough storage and counter space for real meals, not just snacks. At the helm, the double-wide seat and smart dash layout give the captain clear sightlines and comfortable control, whether you’re cruising at sunset or running home ahead of a weather change.

This 260 Sundancer shines in waters where you’re mixing lazy harbor time with longer coastal or big-lake runs. Its size makes it easy to handle in busy marinas and narrow channels, yet the deep-V hull and weight inspire confidence when afternoon chop builds. The enclosed cabin with real berths and a proper head lets you stretch a day trip into a spontaneous weekend aboard. Airy cockpit seating, a secure bow access route, and a generous swim platform suit sandbar raft-ups, watersports, and sunset cruises alike. It’s a versatile pocket cruiser that fits the varied conditions and cruising grounds this region is known for.
