2018 Sea Ray SDX 270

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam carries all the way forward, giving you a true “living room on the water” feel instead of a cramped bow. The walkthrough transom and extended swim platform make it easy for guests to move from the cockpit to the water without stumbling over cushions and coolers. Up front, the deep, secure bow seating keeps everyone comfortable when the chop picks up, and the convertible lounge backs let people face the action wherever it is. Storage is tucked under nearly every cushion, plus an in-floor locker for boards and floats, so clutter disappears and the deck stays open for entertaining.

This SDX 270 really shines in local waters where you’re bouncing between sandbars, waterfront hangouts, and quick offshore runs on decent days. The generous freeboard and solid hull give you confidence when afternoon breezes kick up a short, steep chop. At the same time, the shallow draft lets you sneak into skinny water for swimming and beaching without drama. The open, social cockpit layout is ideal for day-boating lifestyles built around friends, music, and easy access to the water from the big swim platform. It’s the right mix of comfort, capability, and style for a full day on the water close to home.
