This 2018 Tidewater 280 CC Adventure is a 28-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin 500-horsepower Yamaha engines. The boat reaches speeds to 50 mph and cruises at 30 mph, with joystick control piloting available through the Optimus 360 system.
The deck layout centers on serious fishing capability. Forward seating with backrests and a removable casting platform provide comfortable sightlines. The cockpit features a tackling center, underwater lighting, and abundant rod storage with eight rocket launchers, six flush-mounted holders, and removable transom-mounted racks. Aft, a fold-away bench seat and transom wall fish box complete the working areas. Sea-Dek teak flooring covers the cockpit, while side wing curtains offer weather protection. A transom door with boarding ladder simplifies water access.
Equipment includes a triple-axle bunk trailer, outriggers, and a windlass system. Navigation and monitoring rely on Garmin electronics: autopilot, GPSMAP XSV, and additional GPS units, plus an EPIRB. The yacht carries two bait wells, an MSD marine sanitation unit with pump-out, and both salt and fresh water wash-down systems. Recessed trim tabs aid handling in variable conditions. A marine stereo system provides entertainment, while the hull sides are finished in optional sky blue.
