5 Reasons the Sea Ray Sundancer Model Family is Right For You

Published on August 7, 2023

A lot of cabin cruisers are like floating motor homes; they are designed for cruising and weekending and that’s about it. Sea Ray’s Sundancer Sport Cruisers are designed for a wide range of activities. With nearly fifty years of experience building Sundancer models, the Sea Ray team understands what boaters need for an exceptional experience.

1. Sundancer models are aptly named with several fun-in-the-sun opportunities

Sundancer models have a dedicated bow seating and lounging area that is designed to be occupied while the boat is running or at rest and is easily accessible thanks to the port side walkaround entry. Sundancer 320 models have a triple-wide chaise lounge with the perfect amount of recline and armrests for comfort. Sundancer 370 models have triple-wide chaise lounges with ergonomic C-shaped seating and that has an optional teak table for alfresco dining or socializing. The cockpit lounges are perfect for entertaining and open up to large swim platforms that beckon guests to dive in or lay on to work on their tans. Premium Fusion Apollo stereo systems keep the party vibe going throughout the boat. 

2. Sea Ray’s Sport Cruisers let the outside in

The best part of being on a boat is feeling like you’re one with nature and aren’t closed in. Sundancer models come standard with a sporty open windshield that allows air to easily enter the cockpit. Optional coupe enclosures offer more protection while still allowing amazing views. The fiberglass hardtop on 320 models has an option for a canvas opening moonroof. Sundancer 370 models have hardtops with standard panoramic skylights and optional rear enclosures for total protection.

3. Sundancer models are easy to drive — even for new boaters

All Sundancer models — whether powered by outboards or sterndrives — have Joystick Propulsion systems as a standard feature, which means captains of all skill levels will have the ultimate in control, even in tight marinas with tides and wind trying their best to make them look bad. If you want the boat to go sideways just tilt the joystick left or right to look like a hero at your local dockside restaurant. By eliminating the most stressful part of boating, owners can concentrate on having fun instead. A standard Active Trim system automatically keeps the boats trimmed for optimal performance and handling. 

4. All Sundancers are powered to provide excellent performance

Sundancer 320 models give owners a choice of twin 5.7L V10 350hp outboards or triple Mercury 4.6L V8 250hp Verado outboards. For those who prefer sterndrive power, there is a choice of twin 6.2L 300 or 350hp MerCruiser engines. Sundancer 370 models offer owners a choice of twin MerCruiser MAG HO 8.2L V8 sterndrive engines that produce 430hp each or outboard power that includes a choice of triple Mercury 4.6L V8 300hp Verado engines or twin 7.6L V12 600hp Verado engines that feature a host of innovations like independently articulating lower units, a two-speed transmission for better performance out of the hole and an all-electric steering system. 

5. Sundancers allow you to explore adventures off the grid in comfort

All Sundancer models are fully equipped for weekending or taking longer cruises with V-berths in the bow and mid-berth cabins that sleep two each. Both do double duty as seating areas during the day and there’s a fully equipped head compartment with an electric VacuFlush head, vanity, sink and separated stand-up shower. The Sundancer 320 has an option for a gas-powered generator along with A/C and heating while on the Sundancer 370, they are standard features. The option to add a Kenyon electric grill in the cockpit boosts the entertainment quotient of all Sundancers. Galleys come equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and plenty of food prep space. For navigation off the beaten path, all models include twin Simrad displays at the helm.
