Cutwater C-288: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Cutwater 288 Command Bridge is a compact yet capable 28-foot vessel designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Featuring a command bridge that serves as a flybridge, this boat offers versatile spaces for cruising, fishing, and relaxing. Built in Washington state, the boat reflects American craftsmanship with in-house manufacturing of upholstery, metalwork, and other components, ensuring quality control and efficient parts availability.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
Starting at the bow, the boat offers convenient on-off access with a swim ladder that can be easily deployed when beached. The bow area includes electric windows, two opening hatches, and a sturdy handrail encircling the deck. The side decks are somewhat narrow but equipped with composite tow rails and grab rails along the cabin top, providing secure movement around the boat. Twin Yamaha 250 V6 outboard engines power the vessel, delivering a top speed near 50 miles per hour and a cruising speed of 30 to 35 mph. The swim platform at the stern is well-appointed with grab rails, a telescopic swim ladder, fuel fills, rod holders, and a plumbed fresh hot and cold water shower for rinsing off after saltwater activities. Additionally, there is a bait well and an electric Kenyon grill integrated into the transom area, allowing for convenient outdoor cooking. The transom features a clear pass design with engineered rigging elbows that prevent binding and allow full engine trim. Seating includes a transforming four-and-a-half-person aft-facing bench and a flip-out bench on the port side, providing ample guest accommodation under the sunshade. Scotty mounts are installed for electric fishing reels, and the deck flooring can be removed via snaps for fishing mode.
Mechanical and Electrical Systems
The Cutwater 288 is equipped with 900 amp hours of lithium batteries, eliminating the need for a generator. These batteries support onboard systems such as air conditioning, microwave, and the Kenyon grill, with sufficient capacity to run the air conditioning overnight. Lead acid batteries are dedicated to engine starting and the bow thruster. The boat’s electrical panels, battery switches, inverter controls, and air conditioning zone controls are conveniently located beneath the dinette seating area.
Interior Living Spaces
Entering the cabin, the galley is situated on the starboard side and includes a gas burner stove, a deep sink with grab handle, a microwave, and multiple drawers for storage. A small shelf with a rail accommodates spices and small items, while USB and 110-volt outlets provide power access. Beneath the helm seat is a sizable 12-volt refrigerator, complemented by a wine chiller across on the port side. The dinette area features a versatile table with a high-low base and opposing seating that can be flipped to create a companion seat forward-facing or converted into a large berth for overnight accommodations. Elevated seating at the dinette provides panoramic views through surrounding windows and overhead hatches that allow for natural light and ventilation. The interior is finished with recessed LED lighting, wood accents, and insulated EBA foam overhead for sound and temperature control.
Private Accommodations and Head
Down below, the forward V-berth offers a comfortable sleeping area with effective air conditioning, natural light from overhead hatches, and ventilation ports. The berth includes a hanging locker and a television, with tasteful shiplap paneling adding warmth to the space. Notably, the V-berth can be quickly converted into a private office or retreat area, providing a quiet space for work or relaxation. The boat also includes a well-appointed head with elegant woodwork, a glazed skylight, a 110-volt outlet, a toilet, vessel sink, and storage, fulfilling the needs for extended cruising comfort.
Command Bridge and Flybridge
Access to the flybridge is provided by a robust metal ladder crafted in-house, leading to seating for three with both half-facing and forward-facing bench seats adjacent to the helm. The flybridge helm is fully equipped with comprehensive system controls including trim tabs, joystick, bow thruster with wireless remote, autopilot, VHF radio, and dual large Garmin displays. The helm dash is hinged and can be lowered to reduce the boat’s height for trailering or passing under low bridges. The flybridge also features a bifacial solar panel that collects solar energy from both sides, enhancing battery charging efficiency. Additional rod holders are installed for fishing gear storage. This elevated helm station is ideal for scouting shallow waters, coral reefs, or docking maneuvers.
Conclusion
The Cutwater 288 Command Bridge presents a well-thought-out design that balances performance, comfort, and versatility in a compact 28-foot package. Its American-built quality, innovative features such as extensive lithium battery capacity, convertible interior spaces, and a functional flybridge make it suitable for a variety of boating activities including cruising, fishing, and overnight stays. The boat’s thoughtful engineering and attention to detail provide a secure and enjoyable experience on the water.
