2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe

The 2026 Cutwater C-288 Coupe is a 33-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Yamaha F250 outboards delivering 500 horsepower combined. Its contemporary Downeast design features a double-stepped deep-V hull with laminar flow interrupters and a full 10-foot beam, engineered for smooth performance, efficiency, and stability while remaining trailerable. Joystick control comes standard, and a clear-path swim platform wraps fully around the engines for safe boarding.

The cockpit is built for both fishing and entertaining, with rod holders, beverage holders, a livewell, electric grill, and flexible seating that accommodates up to six people via a convertible sunset seat and fold-down gunwale seats. An opening glass bulkhead lounge extends the social space. Solar panels and sport racks support extended cruising and carry kayaks, SUPs, and bikes.

Below deck, the salon centers on a full galley with propane stovetop, convection microwave, stainless-steel sink with pull-out rinse faucet, and a refrigerator-freezer combo. The helm features a Garmin 8612xsv touchscreen chartplotter with GPS and sonar, Garmin autopilot, xHD radar, color engine displays, and twin-lever electronic throttle control. Climate control includes sliding overhead hatches and opening portlights.

Sleeping accommodations include a forward master stateroom with flatscreen TV, Bluetooth Fusion stereo, opening hatches, and RGB LED lighting, plus a mid-berth and private head with shower. A Luxury Edition option adds air conditioning and reverse-cycle heating with lithium-ion battery upgrade for inverter operation.
