2013 Sailfish 290 CC
Twin Mercury 300 Verados | Minn Kota Instinct Auto-Deploy | Twin Raymarine Displays | Radar
A well-equipped 2013 Sailfish 290 CC built around what this model does best: offshore capability, tremendous cockpit space and serious fishability.
Powered by twin Mercury L6 300 Verados with 1,067 hours on the starboard engine and 1,069 hours on port, this 290 offers 600 horsepower on Sailfish's proven Variable Deadrise Stepped hull.
The 290 CC was designed as a true offshore fishing platform, combining a deep cockpit, high gunwales and an unusually large amount of working space for a boat in this size range. Sailfish's VDS hull design is well regarded for providing a soft, dry ride while maintaining good stability at rest, making the boat equally comfortable running offshore or working a drift.
At the helm, twin 12-inch Raymarine HybridTouch color displays are paired with radar and sounder. The large dash layout provides excellent visibility and plenty of space for the electronics package without feeling crowded.
A major addition is the Minn Kota Instinct trolling motor with Auto-Deploy, supported by its dedicated battery system and charger. The system adds tremendous versatility for holding position over structure, bottom fishing or working inshore water without constantly relying on the engines.
Fishing equipment is extensive. Factory features include 17 rod holders, a 35-gallon leaning-post livewell, 30-gallon transom livewell, high-speed livewell pickup, dual in-floor fish boxes and locking rod storage. This boat also features outriggers, raw-water washdown, freshwater washdown and additional fishing storage throughout.
The cockpit is one of the strongest features of the 290. It is exceptionally open, deep and easy to work around, with the high gunwales providing a secure feel offshore. Whether fishing several anglers, loading gear or simply spending the day on the water, the layout gives the boat a much larger feel than its overall length would suggest.
The upholstery has recently been renewed, and the stereo speakers have also recently been replaced. An Ice Blue hull, powder-coated hardtop structure and clean center-console layout give the boat a sharp, purposeful appearance. The existing hull-side name is vinyl and can be easily removed.
For someone looking for a legitimate offshore fishing boat without stepping into the cost of a newer or significantly larger center console, this 290 Sailfish represents a tremendous amount of boat for the money.

The Sailfish 290 Platform
The Sailfish 290 CC has earned a strong reputation as a serious offshore center console with an exceptional amount of usable cockpit space.
Its deep cockpit, high gunwales and open working areas provide an excellent platform for multiple anglers while keeping everyone secure underway. The layout also incorporates substantial fish storage, livewell capacity and rod storage without sacrificing room around the console or transom.
Sailfish's Variable Deadrise Stepped hull combines a sharper running surface toward the keel with additional stability farther outboard. The result is the combination of ride quality, dryness and stability that has made the 290 such a popular offshore fishing platform.

Sailfish 290 CC: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sailfish 290 Center Console is a 30-foot, 6-inch offshore fishing boat designed to appeal to anglers and families alike. With a beam of 9 feet and a fuel capacity of 175 gallons, this model offers a balance of performance, stability, and comfort. Our test boat was equipped with twin Mercury Verado 300 horsepower outboard engines and an optional T-top, resulting in a total test weight of 9,541 pounds including fuel, two people, and minimal gear.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin Mercury Verado 300 horsepower outboards turning Mirage three-blade 15 1/4 by 19-inch propellers, the Sailfish 290 demonstrated impressive acceleration and speed. It reached plane in 4.1 seconds, 30 miles per hour in 5.8 seconds, and 40 miles per hour in 11.2 seconds, with a running angle of 5 degrees. The hull’s unique VDS design incorporates a keel pad and three deadrise angles—deep V, moderate V, and a flatter section—providing a smooth ride, fuel efficiency, and stability at rest. The top recorded speed was 58 miles per hour. Optimal cruising at 3,500 RPM yielded 26.8 miles per hour while consuming 14.7 gallons per hour, offering a range of 368 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. For water sports, a speed of 19.4 miles per hour was maintained at 11.3 gallons per hour. The boat handled well in choppy conditions, exhibiting easy steering, a comfortable ride, and a maximum lean of 12 degrees during hard turns.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The Sailfish 290 features a high bow flare and substantial freeboard—47.5 inches at the bow and 36.5 inches at the stern—effectively keeping spray out and creating one of the deepest cockpits in its class. The large outboard engine well provides ample room for movement around the engines and includes a freshwater washdown bib. The deck layout is well thought out for fishing, with a 33-square-foot cockpit, a 35-gallon livewell integrated into a fish prep console behind the helm seats, and multiple rod holders, gunnel rod racks, fish boxes, and tackle storage drawers. The powder-coated T-top includes a curved rail for secure handholds and generous headroom. Additional features include a recessed powder-coated handrail, pull-up cleats, an optional fold-down navigation light, a through-the-stem anchor system with optional windlass, and a bi-fold door to the head compartment.
Helm and Seating
The helm console is spacious enough to accommodate two large navigation screens, with a tilting wheel and a well-positioned compass. It offers compartmentalized storage topped with a watertight acrylic cover and includes a 12-volt outlet. Optional helm and companion seats feature bolsters, movable armrests, and contoured cushions designed to keep occupants secure and comfortable. Forward of the helm is a 74-quart cooler that doubles as a seat. Additional seating options include fold-away transom seats, jump seats, removable seat backs for forward seating, and a side-mount pedestal table for the bow, many of which are available in comfort and entertainment packages.
Accommodations and Amenities
The boat includes a head compartment with a five-foot, eight-inch clearance, a drawer and sink, battery switches, and dedicated table storage. The transom gate opens inward for easy access, and a four-step swim ladder facilitates water entry and exit. Optional features such as a ski pylon, courtesy lights, and various fishing packages further enhance the boat’s versatility for both fishing and family use.
Conclusion
The Sailfish 290 Center Console is a well-rounded offshore fishing boat that combines performance, stability, and thoughtful design. Its hull design delivers a smooth and efficient ride, while the spacious cockpit and fishing amenities cater to serious anglers. At the same time, comfort and entertainment options make it suitable for family outings. Overall, the 290 stands out as a capable and versatile vessel in its class.
