Most cruisers in this size range require you to wake up and disassemble the forward berth if you want to use the dinette for an early morning cup of coffee. Not so on this Chaparral 290 thanks to a huge berth and a separate dinette.The cabin sleeps six comfortably which is remarkable given the boat's under-30-foot centerline length. An oversized square deck hatch with a retractable shade and screen, along with four eye-level screened ports stir an airy, spacious feeling. two cedar lined clothes closets, flat screen entertainment packages and lined privacy drapes are all standard equipment extras that make the 290 one of the roomiest cruisers you'll find under 30-feet.
