Overview
The Sea Ray 370 Venture represents a fresh design approach in the 37-foot outboard-powered boat category. Notably, the absence of an engine room allows Sea Ray to maximize both cockpit space and interior accommodations, offering a unique layout that distinguishes it from other boats in its class.
Cockpit and Exterior Design
The 370 Venture's cockpit fully utilizes the boat's 11-foot 3-inch beam by eliminating side decks. Seating arrangements include an L-shaped settee to starboard and a U-shaped settee to port, both surrounding a collapsible hardwood table measuring 4 feet 1 inch by 2 feet 2 inches. Beneath the seats are insulated, self-draining storage compartments. The seating easily converts into sun pads by swiveling the seat backs outward. To port, the L-shaped seating provides comfortable, unobstructed sight lines forward while underway. An aft-facing chaise lounge is included, though its recline angle may benefit from an adjustable backrest for enhanced comfort. Forward in the cockpit is an entertainment center equipped with an optional grill and stove, a dual-voltage refrigerator, and a sink, with ample counter space remaining for usability. At the stern, the boat features a molded swim platform extending 16 inches from the transom, supplemented by an extended platform supported underneath by heavy square channel, adding an additional 30 inches. Access to the cockpit is through a center walkthrough with deep storage beneath the deck. A shower is conveniently located to starboard for rinsing before entering the cockpit, and safety is maintained with an acrylic gate and well-placed grab rails. The windshield walkthrough measures 20.5 inches and includes interconnected latches, while a stainless steel grab handle atop the hardtop provides secure handholds.
Interior Living Spaces
Descending into the cabin, electrical switches are conveniently positioned overhead. The aft stateroom is a standout feature, benefiting from the absence of an engine room bulkhead, resulting in a wide-open space. The berth measures 6 feet 9 inches by 5 feet 7 inches, complemented by a couch on the starboard side. Headroom in this area is 4 feet 2 inches from the deck and 2 feet 11 inches from the couch seat. A recessed mirrored wall adorns the aft bulkhead. While the storage compartments are appreciated, the pull-up latches may require reconsideration, and the ship's electrical panel location within this area is less than ideal. The LED lighting inside storage compartments lacks a micro switch, causing lights to remain on when doors are closed. The open tread stairway enhances the sense of openness, and privacy is managed with sliding curtains, though Sea Ray offers an optional bulkhead with a privacy door.
Galley and Head
The galley benefits from natural light through overhead openings. While the counter space measures 21 inches by 20 inches, the flat surface currently lacks a rail that could facilitate additional storage. The galley includes a microwave oven, a hull-side window, a recessed stainless steel single basin sink, a 12-volt refrigerator beneath the counter, and a waste receptacle. Sea Ray has opted not to include a cooktop in the galley, instead offering an optional grill for the cockpit. Headroom in the galley area is 6 feet 4 inches. Adjacent to the galley, the head is thoughtfully divided into two compartments: a vanity area with a glass sink atop a solid surface counter and storage below, and a separate water closet with a porcelain head and shower enclosed by a waterproof privacy curtain. An opening port light provides ventilation.
Salon and Dining Area
Moving forward and ascending a 6.5-inch step, the salon offers 5 feet 8.5 inches of headroom. The seating features two-tone fabric with a raised padded edge for leg comfort, complemented by hull-side windows on both sides. A notable design element is the continuous storage above the windows, an often underutilized space. The hardwood table, crafted from two different woods with a solid surface center, collapses to facilitate easy movement in and out of the area. The ability to stand comfortably at the table is a significant advantage. The space is well illuminated by an overhead hatch, LED lighting above, beneath cabinetry, and along the sides. Storage is also available beneath all seating. The table can be lowered with filler cushions to convert the area into a berth, and a privacy curtain can be drawn to separate the forward berth. Optional features include a 19-inch television and an alternative location for the ship's electrical panel.
