2019 Egret 290

Step aboard this 290 and you immediately feel how overbuilt and purposeful she is. High, confidence‑inspiring gunwales, a wide, stable beam and a clean, flush deck layout make it easy to move from bow to stern with rods in hand. The console ergonomics are spot on, with great sightlines and enough dash space to keep everything at your fingertips without feeling cluttered. Under every hatch you’ll find finished compartments and heavy‑duty hardware, the kind that doesn’t rattle underway. Drainage, rigging access and wiring runs are all thoughtfully done, making maintenance straightforward. It’s the kind of hull that feels solid underfoot at rest and refuses to pound when the afternoon chop builds.

In this region, you need a hull that can handle sloppy inlets, long runs offshore, and still float shallow enough to work nearshore structure and bays. The Egret 290’s efficient running surface and generous fuel capacity let you stretch your range to distant wrecks and reefs without nursing the throttles. The high bow flare and deep cockpit keep the crew dry and secure when the wind shifts against the tide. At the same time, its manageable size makes trailering to different ramps and barrier‑island launches practical, so you’re not locked into one harbor. It’s a serious fishing platform that still works as a comfortable family day boat in local waters.
