2023 Cutwater C-288 Coupe for sale in San Rafael, CA

Few boats at this size punch above their weight like the 2023 Cutwater C-288 Coupe. With its striking Downeast lines, twin counter-rotating Yamaha F250 outboards, and a feature list that reads like a wish list, this is the boat that does everything—and does it beautifully.

Performance Without Compromise

The C-288's double-stepped deep-V hull and Laminar Flow Interrupters deliver a smooth, confident ride in a wide range of conditions. Cruise comfortably at 30 knots with a range up to 425 miles—whether you're island hopping for the weekend or heading offshore for the day.

Dock Like a Pro

A factory bow thruster takes the stress out of tight slips and crowded marinas, giving even a solo skipper the confidence to put her exactly where she needs to go—every time. And with a rear helm station, you can handle docking and maneuvering from the cockpit, keeping eyes on your lines and the dock at all times.

Live Aboard Comfort in 28 Feet

The 10-foot beam maximizes interior volume and cabin space while the well-appointed below deck offers everything you need for overnight adventures. The cockpit converts into a social hub with seating for six—sunset seat, fold-down gunwale seats, and an opening glass bulkhead that blurs the line between inside and out.

Entertain in Style

A dedicated refrigerator plus a separate wine fridge mean you're always ready to host—whether it's a sunset cruise with friends or a quiet evening at anchor.

Off-Grid Capable

Onboard solar paired with an inverter keeps the AC and heater running and your house batteries topped off whether you're on the hook or tied up at a remote dock—no shore power required, no compromise on comfort.

Ready for Anything

Cockpit amenities include rod holders, beverage holders, livewell, and an electric grill. The Clear-Path swim platform wraps fully around the outboard engines for safe, easy boarding from any angle.

Immaculate, Like-New Condition

This C-288 presents in showroom condition—meticulously maintained and showing virtually no signs of use, with fresh bottom paint already done. Why pay new boat prices and wait for delivery when you can step aboard this one today? All the benefits of a brand-new Cutwater at a fraction of the cost, ready to go right now.

Why the C-288

Because life's too short for a boat that makes you choose between performance, comfort, and versatility. The Cutwater C-288 gives you all three—from the first wake-up coffee underway to the last sundowner at anchor.
