2026 Cutwater C-288 CB

The 2026 Cutwater C-288 CB is a 28-foot downeast cruiser built on a fiberglass hull and powered by twin Yamaha 250 hp outboards. The boat reaches speeds near 42 knots and cruises efficiently at 28 knots, with responsive handling from the Helm Master joystick control and standard bow thruster for docking.

The cabin layout includes two staterooms and one head, arranged for comfortable cruising and overnight stays. Climate control comes from two air conditioning and reverse-cycle heat units supported by a lithium battery upgrade and a 220-watt solar panel. The galley features a dual-burner propane stove with convection oven and microwave combo. Accommodations are finished with Aquamat woven vinyl flooring throughout the cockpit.

Navigation and safety systems include a 12-inch Garmin chartplotter with sonar and xHD radar, a second helm screen, Yamaha autopilot, and a complete safety package with anchor, chain, line, fenders, flares, fire extinguishers, first aid kit, and life jackets. The boat is equipped with a windlass, macerator discharge, LED lighting, underwater lights, swim platform rails, and downrigger plates for fishing. Electric steering and wireless thruster remote control add to operational convenience.
