True to the do-it-all nature of Cutwater Boats, the C-288 Command Bridge comes fully equipped with premium features designed for versatility. Its modern Downeast styling turns heads, while twin counter-rotating Yamaha F250 outboards deliver impressive power. Beneath the waterline, an advanced double-stepped deep-V hull with Laminar FlowInterrupters and a 10-foot beam ensures a balanced blend of performance, comfort, and efficiency. The wide beam also maximizes stability and cabin space, yet remains trailer-friendly.

Boarding is safe and simple thanks to the Clear-Path swim platform that wraps fully around the outboards. The cockpit is a multifunction hub, offering storage, rod holders, livewell, beverage holders, and an electric grill. Seating for six comes by way of a convertible sunset seat, fold-down gunwale seats, and an opening glass bulkhead lounge. Overhead, a solar panel extends off-grid time.

Step into the salon and you’ll find a true home on the water: a complete galley with stovetop, stainless sink, fridge/freezer, microwave convection oven, cabinetry, and wine/water cooler. At the helm, a Garmin chartplotter, sonar, radar, autopilot, color engine displays, and electronic twin-lever throttle deliver total confidence. A Climate-controlled interior, sliding windows, and opening portlights keep the cabin inviting year-round. Overnight accommodations for six include a forward stateroom, mid-berth, convertible dinette, and private head with shower.

Up top, the CommandBridge adds a second helm with full Garmin suite, VHF, bow thruster, and seating for four. This elevated vantage point offers panoramic views and a lively social space—perfect for navigating, entertaining, or enjoying a sunset.

The C-288 CommandBridge blends performance, comfort, and perspective—an ideal platform for adventure, connection, and unforgettable days on the water.
