2026 Cutwater C-288 CB

The 2026 Cutwater C-288 CB is a 33.6-foot contemporary Downeast cruiser built on a fiberglass, double-stepped deep-V hull with a 10-foot beam. Powered by twin Yamaha F250 outboards producing 500 horsepower combined, the hull design incorporates Laminar Flow Interrupters for efficiency and a stout beam that maximizes stability while keeping the boat trailerable. The clear-path swim platform wraps fully around the engines for safe boarding.

The cockpit is designed for both fishing and entertaining, with rod holders, a livewell, electric grill, beverage holders, and abundant storage. The space converts into a social area with seating for six via a convertible sunset seat, fold-down gunwale seats, and an opening glass bulkhead lounge. An overhead solar panel supports extended time away from shore power.

Inside, the salon functions as a full cruising home with galley amenities including a stovetop, stainless-steel sink with pull-out faucet, fridge/freezer combo, microwave convection oven, and wine/water cooler. The helm features a Garmin chartplotter, autopilot, sonar, xHD radar, color engine displays, and twin-lever electronic throttle control. Sliding windows and opening portlights support climate control throughout. Accommodations include a forward stateroom, convertible dinette, spacious mid-berth, and a private head with shower for six people total.

An elevated command bridge sits above the hardtop, equipped with a full Garmin electronics suite, VHF, and bow thruster controls. The upper helm can seat four and provides panoramic sightlines for navigation and entertaining whether underway or anchored.
