The 2012 Chaparral 284 Sunesta is a sport deck so advanced that nothing in its class can match its features, style, and quality. This boat is so innovative that it ran away with Boat-of-the-Year honors the first time it hit the water. As the most advanced sport deck Chaparral has ever built, the 284 Sunesta offers a world-class experience that gets bigger and better in every category-from the multi-purpose bow to the high-performance transom design.
Innovative Design and Social Layout
Chaparral has left nothing to chance with the 284 Sunesta. The boat features the patented Wide Tech bow design, which carries the beam further forward to create a massive, deep-seated bow area that offers more room and comfort than traditional sport boats. Whether you are hosting a large group for a sunset cruise or anchored at the sandbar, the 284 provides a "people-first" layout that feels like a much larger yacht.
Entertainment and Comfort Features
The interior is designed for the ultimate host, featuring a seamless flow from the bow to the swim platform:
Multi-Purpose Bow Area: Versatile seating that easily transforms for lounging or dining.
Entertainment-Minded Cockpit: A spacious layout with premium upholstery, a built-in wet bar, and ample storage for all-day excursions.
Functional Transom Design: An industry-leading aft area that makes boarding, swimming, and watersports easier and more enjoyable.
Private Enclosed Head: A dedicated, lockable head compartment with a vanity and sink for total comfort on long lake days.
Elite Performance and Quality
Built on Chaparral's legendary Extended V-Plane hull, the 284 Sunesta delivers a ride that is remarkably smooth, stable, and quick to plane. The 9-foot beam provides a wide, stable platform that handles lake chop with ease, ensuring a dry and comfortable ride for every passenger. From the Kevlar-reinforced hull to the stainless steel hardware, every inch of this vessel reflects Chaparral's commitment to superior craftsmanship.
