From stem to stern, everything about the Formula Bowrider series is designed to meet your needs and maximize your fun and relaxation on the water. This is where excellence meets sophistication, and superiority meets authenticity.

Features may include:
LARGE, PRIVATE HEAD
- The curved, one-piece locking door opens into a head compartment with porcelain head unit, 23-gallon holding tank and dockside pumpout featuring a molded vanity with sink and faucet, Corian® counter top and woodgrain-finish flooring.
BOW FUNCTIONALITY
- The bow section features modular bow seating with armrests and removable seat bottoms. The color-coordinated dual-height cockpit table with Corian® top take the area from lounge to dinette. Add the available bow seating filler cushions and center backrest to sun bathe.
LARGE AFT SUN LOUNGE
- When the U-shaped aft lounge is filled in with the dual-height cockpit table and filler cushions along with the aft-facing sun lounge that converts into a larger sunpad, the ultimate sun lounge is found.
- The all-new 290 Bowrider from Formula offers boaters the same leading performance and sleek style as its popular 290 predecessor. This family-friendly boat is the ideal companion for a day on the water thanks to its roomy cockpit with ample features and amenities. The captain and first mate will communicate easily and clearly from the individually adjustable, multi-position dual helm seats with a U-shaped lounge for gathering and relaxing. You'll also enjoy steady handling on this 29-foot vessel with the Formula signature 22º deadrise.
- Is there anything better than spending a warm day on the water and relaxing with loved ones? The aft-facing sun lounge with dual-position backrests is ideal for lounging and soaking up the sun and converts to a doublewide sunpad for optimal comfort. Use the dual-height cockpit table with modular bow seating and armrests for on-the-water dining or playing games, or lower it to fill the wraparound L-shaped lounge into a large sunpad with the filler cushions.
- Livorsi® instrumentation puts you in control at the impressive leather-wrapped stainless wheel, which provides a comfortable grip. The visually stunning brushed graphite dash with Liquid Black panels, wood burl finishes and a Ritchie® compass takes the spotlight, with chrome shifters, throttles, bezels and in-handle outdrive trim to achieve a look that is both understated and sporty. This complements the sturdy construction and precision-stitched upholstery.
- Stash your wallet, keys, cellphones and other valuables in the lockable under-dash storage compartment for dry safekeeping.
ENTERTAINMENT
- The Formula 290 Bowrider also includes several great entertainment features. A boat on the open water - or even docked at your favorite spot - is the ideal place to socialize and celebrate.
THE HEAD COMPARTMENT
- A spacious, well-equipped head compartment is critical if you want to spend as many hours on your new boat as possible. The Bowrider 290's head compartment comes standard with a porcelain head unit and a 22-and-a-half-gallon holding tank with dockside pump-out. The Corian® countertop with a vanity sink and faucet and the woodgrain-finish flooring are attractive, functional and durable.
