The SeaRay SDX Series: Spacious Deck Boats for Social Cruising
If you’re searching for a boat that blends generous space with refined styling, the SeaRay SDX Series stands out. Designed for boaters who want the room of a pontoon with the ride of a deep-V hull, SDX models like the SDX 250 offer expansive seating for up to 14 passengers and thoughtful amenities that make every cruise enjoyable.
These boats are built for entertaining. You’ll find plush wraparound lounges, convertible helm chairs, and features like built-in coolers and ample under-seat storage. With a wide bow design and full-beam swim platform, SDX boats are ideal for hosting family and friends. Add in options like Fusion® Bluetooth audio, LED lighting, and a submersible swim step, and you have the ultimate social boat on the water. Performance doesn’t take a back seat either. Powered by Mercury® engines with up to 350 horsepower, the SDX models offer smooth handling and plenty of torque. You can cruise from Chickamauga Marina to downtown Chattanooga with style, confidence, and speed.
The SLX Series: Premium Performance for Day Cruising
SeaRay’s SLX Series is engineered for those who demand both refinement and responsiveness. These luxury sport boats are crafted with signature SeaRay styling: sleek profiles, aggressive hull lines, and premium upholstery that transforms your time on the water into a luxury experience.
The SLX Series features cutting-edge technology, including SeaRay’s Digital Dash with Simrad® touchscreen displays and SmartCraft® engine integration. This intuitive system gives you control over navigation, performance metrics, and entertainment at a glance. From quiet power steering to Active Trim systems that adjust your boat automatically, the SLX line is built to enhance every moment. A standout in this series is the SLX 280, which offers a generous cockpit layout, convertible sun lounges, and yacht-certified passenger capacity. Whether you’re cruising to a favorite riverside restaurant or spending the day at anchor in a quiet cove, the SLX delivers with both style and function.
The Sundancer Series: Overnight Cruisers for Extended Getaways
For those seeking the flexibility of overnight accommodations with the luxury of a SeaRay design, the Sundancer Series is unmatched. These sport cruisers offer everything needed for multi-day escapes, from plush sleeping quarters to enclosed heads and galley setups with cooktops and refrigerators.
Take the Sundancer 265, for example a compact cruiser that doesn’t sacrifice comfort. With sleeping space for two, a full swim platform, and a well-appointed helm with modern chartplotters, this model is perfect for exploring the Tennessee River system over a weekend. Larger models, like the Sundancer 320, elevate the experience even further, offering a blend of bowrider versatility with cabin cruiser features.
Designed with the cruising lifestyle in mind, the Sundancer line includes extended fuel and freshwater capacity, high gunwales for safety, and seamless flow between cockpit and cabin. These boats are perfect for those who want to go beyond day-boating and create lasting memories on the water.
