2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe

The 2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe is a 33-foot fiberglass cruiser built around twin Yamaha 250 hp outboards with joystick control for docking. The design combines a steep, deep-V hull with a double-stepped bottom, laminar flow interrupters, and a 10-foot beam to balance performance with stability while remaining trailerable. This layout delivers smooth handling and fuel efficiency without sacrificing the interior space that defines the boat's appeal.

The cabin accommodates six with a forward master stateroom, mid-berth, and private head with shower. The galley features a propane stovetop, convection microwave, pull-out faucet sink, and refrigerator-freezer combo. Navigation centers on dual Garmin 8612xsv chartplotters with GPS, sonar, and xHD radar, Garmin autopilot, and electronic throttle controls. The master stateroom includes a flatscreen TV, Bluetooth stereo, opening hatches, and LED accent lighting. Climate control uses a reverse-cycle air-conditioning unit powered by lithium house batteries.

Topside, the wrap-around swim platform and clear-path cockpit design provide easy boarding and safe movement. The aft area offers flexible seating for five to six people with a convertible sunset seat, fold-down gunwale seats, and an opening glass bulkhead lounge. Practical features include an electric grill, livewell, rod holders, beverage holders, and storage throughout. Overhead solar panels and sport racks support extended cruising and storage for tenders and water sports gear.
