Tidewater 280 CC Adventure

Like its bigger brother, the Tidewater 280 CC brings fishing to a new level of luxury in a centre console design. There is a simple reason US manufacturers are considered some of the best at these fishing boats and the 280 CC epitomises everything they have become well known for.

This boat is filled with luxury from the well-proportioned helm station to its backlit aluminium carbon fibre dash panel to the wrap around bow seating with flip-out backrests.

This boat also flips between fishing and family so seamlessly that you may even forget which reason you are on the water. There is ample fishing space at the bow or down in the cockpit and the Tidewater 280 CC will make an excellent game fishing platform. There is a bait prep station behind the helm seating and you will have never chased tuna and marlin in such luxury and finery.

The boat can be rigged with a maximum of 600hp and with a fuel capacity of 776 litres you will be able to roam far and wide in search of your target. You could chase gamefish off the barrier reef and then head into a deserted coral cay for lunch and a snorkel. And to do all that you need storage and the 280 CC has ample. There is rod and gear storage, two huge live wells and a fish box so all your needs are met.

The boat is all class with a beautifully upholstered bow seating area, a sun pad directly ahead of the console, and generously accommodating helm seats with elliptical highlights. You can choose your own array of electronics, including a stereo that will entertain your guests onboard and even those on other boats. The hard top is a must for Australian conditions and the lean to/helm seating also doubles as the best rod holder assembly you have ever seen.
