2026 Tidewater 282 CC Adventure

The 2026 Tidewater 282 CC Adventure is a 28-foot center console built on a solid fiberglass hull. Twin 250-horsepower Yamaha engines power the boat, with just 35 hours of engine time. The console features Yamaha digital steering, a Lewmar 13.5-inch wheel, and a comprehensive electronics package including dual Garmin units—a GPSMAP 1243xsv and an 18-inch radome—along with an integrated GT12M-THF thru-hull transducer, Garmin 215 AIS VHF, and autopilot. NMEA 2000 networking ties the systems together, while the Yamaha CL5 gauge cluster provides engine monitoring.

The interior combines fishing capability with cruising comfort. An insulated mezzanine leaning post with cooler anchors the helm area, which includes a sink with shower head. A fiberglass T-top with full glass enclosure and gull wings spans the deck, complemented by fresh-water misters and a shower system. Forward, fixed fiberglass seating connects to a coffin box with full-opening bow. White cushioning with black stitching covers the helm bolsters, magnetic bow cushions, and a flush-mount transom seat. The cockpit includes dual insulated livewells, a 6-speaker JL Audio system with 800-watt amplifier and 10-inch subwoofer, and motion-activated storage lighting throughout.

Fishing and anchoring equipment defines this boat's working end. A recessed electric windlass with 300 feet of free-fall rode, six pull-up cleats, and recessed rod racks with toe rail support active fishing. Dual dive doors with one ladder and a separate dive door ladder enable water access. The china head includes pump-out and overboard discharge; a raw-water wash-down system handles cleanup. A SeaKeeper 525mm gyro stabilizer reduces rolling, while Lumitec Sea Blaze Mini underwater lights illuminate the waterline.

The boat is finished in Oyster Gray with white waterline tape and console faceplate. Additional features include a three-bank charger system, dual battery switch panel, and finished bilge liner with motion light. Garmin and Lewmar Phender Pro fender cleats complete the package.
