2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe

The 2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe is a 33-foot fiberglass cruiser built on an innovative deep-V hull with double-stepped bottom, laminar flow interrupters, and reversed chines for smooth performance and stability. Twin Yamaha 250-horsepower outboards power the boat, paired with joystick control for docking. A 10-foot beam maximizes interior space while keeping the boat trailerable. The design combines contemporary Downeast styling with practical features: a full-wrap swim platform, cockpit with rod holders, livewell, electric grill, and convertible seating for six that includes a fold-down transom seat and gunwale seats.

The salon centers on a complete galley with propane stovetop, convection microwave oven, stainless-steel sink with pull-out faucet, refrigerator/freezer combo, and wine cooler. Navigation relies on twin Garmin 8612xsv chartplotters with GPS, sonar, and xHD radar, supported by Garmin autopilot and color engine displays with electronic throttle control. The helm also includes a sport rack and overhead solar panel for extended cruising.

Accommodations include a master stateroom forward with flatscreen TV, Bluetooth stereo, opening hatches, and RGB LED lighting, plus a mid-berth and a private head with shower. The cabin features climate control with sliding overhead hatches and opening portlights. Lithium house batteries power a reverse-cycle air-conditioning and heating system, enabling comfort in any season. The boat is well-suited for extended cruising, fishing, and remote work.
