2018 SeaVee 290B

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 290B feels bigger than her measurements, with high gunnels and a confident, dry-running attitude that offshore crews appreciate. The wide, uncluttered cockpit leaves room to work a spread or manage a hot fish at the transom, while deep insulated fish boxes swallow serious catches. At the helm, the clean layout makes it easy to add or upgrade electronics, and the sightlines over the bow inspire confidence when running in slop. Forward, the wraparound seating is perfect for family cruising days, but doubles as a secure spot for crew on the ride out. SeaVee’s solid fit-and-finish shows up in the hardware, hatches, and tight, rattle-free feel underway.

Waters here demand a hull that can jump from shallow edges to choppy open stretches without beating you up, and the 290B is built for that role. Its efficient deep-V bottom softens head seas yet remains stable when you’re on the drift or anchored over a reef. Twin outboards give the range and redundancy offshore anglers want, while the open bow and generous cockpit keep divers and sandbar crews happy on relaxed days. With smart storage for tackle, safety gear, and crew bags, it stays organized even on long, mixed-purpose outings—ideal for boaters who split time between serious fishing and family exploring.
