Sea Ray SLX Series
When you demand nothing less than excellence on the water, the Sea Ray SLX series answers with striking style, precision performance, and thoughtful innovation. Representing the pinnacle of Sea Ray’s sport boat offerings, the SLX lineup is built for those who crave the thrill of boating without sacrificing luxury, comfort, or sophistication. Whether you’re cruising the serene stretches of Chickamauga Lake or docking downtown for an upscale waterside lunch, the SLX transforms every moment on the water into a refined experience.
Craftsmanship That Sets a New Standard
Every detail of the Sea Ray SLX is crafted to deliver an upscale boating experience. The SLX 250, for instance, showcases this attention to detail through its sculpted hull, stainless steel finishes, and marine-grade upholstery that rivals luxury automotive interiors. The frameless, curved windshield offers not just protection, but an unobstructed view and modern elegance. Wrapped grab handles, multi-density foam seating, and plush materials demonstrate a commitment to luxury that’s rarely found in the bowrider category. Equipped with Sea Ray’s Quiet Ride™ technology, the SLX minimizes noise and vibration so you can cruise in near silence—perfect for meaningful conversation or enjoying the hum of your favorite playlist. This attention to acoustic engineering adds to the sense of relaxation, making each outing as comfortable as it is memorable.
Superior Performance That Excites
Luxury without performance is just a pretty boat. Fortunately, the SLX delivers both. With standard power coming from a MerCruiser 6.2L V8 with 300 horsepower, and options pushing up to 430 horsepower, the SLX 250 has the muscle to match its sleek lines. The dual-prop drive offers precise handling, while the 21° deep-V hull ensures smooth rides through chop and turns that feel responsive and tight.
Docking is made effortless thanks to SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), and available joystick piloting takes control to an entirely new level. For captains of any experience level, the SLX inspires confidence and offers a driving experience that’s nothing short of exhilarating.
A Social Layout Built for Entertaining
Sea Ray designed the SLX for those who love to host. With seating for up to 15 guests, the layout prioritizes comfort and conversation. The bow features wraparound lounge seating with flip-down armrests and optional filler cushions to create a sunpad. In the main cockpit, an L-shaped lounge meets a co-captain’s chair, creating a natural flow for socializing.
Storage is both abundant and discreet, including under-seat compartments, anchor lockers, and even a dedicated cooler space. With options like SeaDek® flooring or Infinity woven vinyl, your feet will enjoy the same level of comfort as your seat. Even the transom is designed with entertainment in mind. A generous swim platform, optional submersible swim step, and transom stereo remote make it easy to keep the fun going in and out of the water.
Comfort-Enhancing Amenities for Extended Days
A luxury bowrider should do more than look good—it should make your time on the water more enjoyable. That’s why the Sea Ray SLX includes a pump-out head compartment, complete with sink and toilet. Whether you’re hosting a long day cruise or entertaining guests onboard for hours, this level of comfort is a welcome addition.
A bimini top provides shade when the Tennessee sun gets strong, and optional upgrades like a watersports tower with integrated sun cover or a bow sunshade add flexibility. Sea Ray has thought of every detail, from USB ports to Bluetooth-enabled Fusion® stereo systems, to keep your guests comfortable, connected, and entertained.
Why the SLX Is Perfect for the Tennessee River and Chickamauga Lake
The SLX truly shines on waterways like Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River, where long stretches of water invite exploration and scenic cruising. Its elegant styling makes a statement whether you’re anchored in a quiet cove or arriving at a downtown marina. The stable, deep-V hull handles boat wakes and chop with ease, while the maneuverability makes navigating narrow coves or marina slips feel effortless.
Whether you’re planning a full-day outing with the family, hosting friends for a sunset cruise, or docking for a meal at a local lakeside restaurant, the Sea Ray SLX is uniquely suited to elevate the boating experience across all your favorite Tennessee River destinations.
When Only the Best Will Do
The Sea Ray SLX series is more than a boat—it’s a statement. It embodies precision engineering, high design, and thoughtful amenities, creating a vessel that exceeds expectations at every turn. For boaters who value the journey as much as the destination, there’s no better choice. Whether you’re new to luxury boating or ready to upgrade to a new level of performance and style, the Sea Ray SLX delivers an unmatched experience on Chickamauga Lake and beyond.
