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. Some of the best 290 Bowrider features are ones that will keep you and your family entertained all day long, including:
- Drink holders: Staying hydrated is essential for long days spent lounging on the water. Fortunately, the Formula 290 has room for the whole family with 19 conveniently located drink holders that will keep beverages stable, even when the boat is moving.
- Molded wet bar: Enhance your boating experience with an optional fully functional molded wet bar to craft beverages and prepare snacks. This feature includes an integrated sink for easy clean-up and a Corian® countertop that holds a 17-quart Igloo® cooler and trash container. The wet bar is also equipped with an integral 316L stainless steel safety rail, so you have another secure spot to hang onto in open waters.
- Storage space: Having plenty of onboard storage space is key to enjoying a fun day with your friends or family. It also keeps items off the floor, which is a tripping hazard. With your Formula 290 Bowrider, you won't have to choose between bringing inflated tubes, water skis, cooking supplies, fishing gear or wakeboards. Fit all of this and more in the 290's spacious storage compartments, including some located under the seats and lounge.
- Stereo system: This boat was crafted with sought-after entertainment features, including a premium stereo system. The Clarion® AM/FM stereo with an iPod/USB port and Bluetooth connectivity has a multi-feature, waterproof remote mounted on the dash that channels music through six marine-grade speakers with 400-watt stereo amplification, shining stainless steel grilles and separate tweeters. It offers a crisp, clear sound system for any crowd and playlist.
- Built-in chargers: On the Bowrider 290, you never have to worry about losing connection. Keep your devices powered all day long with five built-in dual USB charging ports for your cellphones, e-readers or other portable electronics.
- LED lighting: The fun doesn't have to end just because the sun goes down! As evening returns, the 290 Bowrider is equipped with blue and white LED courtesy lights that you can turn on with the handheld remote for safer entry and exit near the swim platform.
With plenty of room, comfortable seating, drink holders, a wet bar, flexible storage and amenities throughout, the all-new Formula 290 Bowrider is the perfect vessel for entertaining. Whether you're cruising on the water, taking a swim or anchoring the boat to watch an idyllic sunset, you and your companions have everything you need to get the most out of your experiences.

Formula 290 Bowrider: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 290 Bowrider exemplifies the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality in the sports boat category. Built by Formula, a brand renowned for producing some of the finest sports boats in America and worldwide, this model sets a benchmark in attention to detail, upholstery, and overall build quality. The boat is designed with versatility and entertainment in mind, offering multiple seating configurations and thoughtful amenities.
Exterior Design and Bow Seating
The bow seating area of the 290 Bowrider is notably versatile for a boat of its size. It offers three distinct configurations: a traditional lounge seating with extended leg rests and armrests down; an upright seating position with feet on the deck, facilitated by removable filler cushions stored under the helm console; and a full sun pad created by two inserts, providing a spacious, spa-like area for three to four people. Integrated into the gunwale are two cup holders and a padded, dent-resistant spot designed specifically for a smartphone. For dining or casual entertaining, a removable table stored in the helm console can be installed, featuring a stylish Corian surface.
Storage and Functional Features
The forward cockpit depth measures 32 inches and includes an anchor locker equipped with a pad eye, though it could benefit from additional notches for a small Danforth anchor. Beneath the forward cushions lies ample storage space, with port and starboard lockers featuring plastic grates for drainage. Access between the bow seating and the main cockpit is facilitated by a comfortably wide passage through the front windshield, which securely closes with a double lock. The helm console to starboard offers generous storage, including a dedicated spot for the Corian table, and ample room for cushions, life vests, and deflated water toys. Between the console and companion seat, a large in-deck locker measures 70 inches long, 17 inches wide, and over 12 inches deep. Additionally, a lockable glove box in front of the companion seat protects the stereo controls from moisture.
Interior Amenities and Upholstery
Beneath the upholstery lies access to a well-appointed head compartment, notable for its 47 inches of headroom, a sink, and a vacuum flush toilet—features that enhance comfort and convenience on board. The upholstery itself is a standout element, crafted from four different vinyl colors arranged with precision and elegance. The upholstery scheme incorporates rich browns and light tans reminiscent of luxury automobiles such as Aston Martin and Maserati, lending a high-end ambiance. The stitching is flawless, and the materials used, including Tenera fluoropolymer fiber thread, provide exceptional durability against UV rays, cleaning solvents, salt water, snow, and extreme temperatures, backed by a lifetime guarantee. Custom color options are available through the Formula Flex program at no additional cost.
Galley and Entertainment Features
The Formula 290 Bowrider includes a wet bar equipped with a large sink featuring a removable cutting board, multiple cup holders, and ample storage for condiments. Beneath the sink is an under-counter refrigerator with shelving designed to secure food while underway. This area also houses the ship’s electrical panels, breakers, battery switches, and a fixed firefighting system, ensuring both convenience and safety. Entertainment is enhanced by a 400-watt Clarion stereo system with remote control accessible from the aft deck.
Aft Deck and Swim Platform
The aft deck is designed for relaxation and water activities, featuring a sun pad that converts into a chaise lounge for enjoying the aft view. The large swim platform is custom-made to accommodate various water sports such as wakeboarding and swimming parties. It is surfaced with synthetic teak, which remains cool underfoot and requires no maintenance. Safety and convenience are addressed with stainless steel grab bars along the trailing edge of the platform and four integrated cup holders. Additionally, a clever deployable swim platform combined with a reboarding ladder is integrated beneath the main platform. Constructed from aluminum, stainless steel, and composite materials, this three-part assembly facilitates easy reboarding, even for older individuals. When extended, the platform provides a full 42 inches of space behind the drives, creating an ideal spot for hanging out in the water.
Conclusion
The Formula 290 Bowrider impresses with its combination of high-quality craftsmanship, versatile seating arrangements, thoughtful storage solutions, and premium materials. Its well-appointed amenities, including a spacious head, wet bar, and advanced entertainment system, enhance onboard comfort and functionality. The innovative swim platform and synthetic teak decking further contribute to an enjoyable boating experience. Overall, the 290 Bowrider stands out as a refined and practical sports boat, suitable for both entertaining and active water pursuits.
