Sea Ray 290 Amberjack

The 2008 Sea Ray Amberjack 290 is a true crossover vessel — seamlessly combining the comfort and amenities of a family cruiser with the durability and outfitting of an offshore fishing machine. Built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with a 21° deadrise, she delivers smooth handling and confident performance across a variety of sea conditions.

Powered by twin 300 hp MerCruiser 5.7L V8 Bravo III 350 MPI sterndrives with fresh water cooling, the vessel offers responsive acceleration and efficient cruising in the mid-20 knot range, with top speeds exceeding 35 knots, depending on conditions. Trim tabs provide optimized planing and fuel efficiency.

With her wide beam, the 290 Amberjack provides excellent stability both underway and at anchor. The spacious cockpit is ideal for entertaining or fishing, and the interior layout offers surprisingly generous accommodations for a vessel in the 29-foot class. The helm features a wide bench starboard with flip-up bolsters and passenger seat to port, with an aluminum radar arch and isinglass windscreen. A removable cockpit table and fixed seating complete the helm area.

The cabin accommodates sleeping for four with a V-berth forward and cabinette aft. A fully enclosed head includes a VacuFlush toilet and shower. The compact galley features a dual-voltage refrigerator, microwave, sink, and single-burner cooktop. Cherry cabinetry and durable carpet complete the interior, along with a TV/DVD combo and stereo system.

Fishing features include a wide beam for stability and working space, a bait prep station with livewell integrated into the port side wet bar, rocket launchers and gunnel-mounted rod holders, molded-in tackle storage, and non-skid decks with a transom door providing fish access to the swim platform. Air conditioning and heating are included for comfort, along with hot water and shore power inlet.

Whether chasing tuna offshore or cruising to a weekend anchorage with family, this versatile vessel checks all the boxes — offering balanced performance, functional fishing features, and comfortable overnight accommodations.
