Cutwater’s new C-288 Command Bridge introduces an open-air second helm and expanded entertaining space to the popular C-288 platform, along with an updated interior for 2026, delivering a fresh, updated model loaded with premium features and built for versatility.
Sporting a contemporary Downeast design, the C-288 CB delivers a blend of performance, comfort and efficiency, powered by twin counter-rotating Yamaha F250 outboards. The Clear-Path swim platform fully wraps around the outboards for easy boarding, and a spacious cockpit offers lots of storage, rod holders, beverage holders, a livewell, electric grill and more. Transform the cockpit into a social space with seating for six with a convertible sunset seat, fold-down gunwale seats and an opening glass bulkhead lounge. An overhead solar panel extends your time off-grid.
Inside the salon, a full galley makes entertaining a breeze, while the helm is fully equipped with a Garmin chartplotter, autopilot, sonar, xHD radar, color engine displays and a twin-lever electronic throttle control. The climate-controlled interior includes sliding windows and opening portlights, and a forward stateroom, convertible dinette, spacious mid-berth and a private head with shower deliver accommodations for up to six. The Command Bridge offers a second helm station with a full Garmin electronics suite, VHF, bow thruster controls and additional seating, making it the ideal vantage point to navigate, relax or take in the panoramic views.
