2017 Sea Ray 280 SundancerSold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 280 Sundancer is laid out for long, easy days on the water. The mid-cabin and forward berth feel surprisingly open for a 28-footer, with quality joinery and smart storage that keeps gear out of the way but always close at hand. The galley is properly equipped for real meals, not just snacks, and the enclosed head with shower means you’re set for overnight escapes. At the helm, clear sightlines and intuitive controls inspire confidence in close quarters. Out back, the cockpit flows naturally to the swim platform, so kids and guests move safely between the water and the loungers without crowding the skipper.

This 2017 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer is an excellent fit for waters where weekends often blend cruising, cove-hopping, and overnighting aboard. Its size makes it nimble enough for narrow channels and busy fairways, yet it has the beam and hull design to handle choppier afternoon conditions with composure. The cabin layout is ideal for couples or small families who want a comfortable base for exploring nearby anchorages and waterfront dining spots. Shallow draft and user-friendly systems make it practical for varied depths and frequent marina stops, while the blend of covered cockpit seating and open swim platform suits both cooler mornings and hot, sunny afternoons on the hook.
