Comfort, not outright pace, is the point of her performance envelope.
The standard 300 horsepower MerCruiser 6.2L drives her to a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top end of 40 knots, enough for genuine open water pace without the harshness that often comes with it. Sea Ray kept the beam at 2.6 metres and tucked the gunwales in rather than out, so she sits flat and stable through turns rather than leaning hard. A 350 horsepower upgrade is available for owners who want sharper acceleration, alongside a 250 horsepower Mercury option paired to a Bravo III drive for those prioritising efficiency. With 246 litres of fuel on board, she offers a useful 200 nautical mile range, enough for a full day of cruising and still some in reserve.
Her lines are drawn by Sea Ray’s own design studio, and they show restraint rather than excess.
A narrow gunwale line widens the bow cockpit without stretching the 8.3 metre hull, while a sweeping sheer and sculpted windscreen keep the profile sporting rather than boxy. Stainless rails, colour matched upholstery and contrast stitching carry through from deck to helm, and the offset walkthrough to starboard keeps the transom clean. Aft, a swim platform of nearly a metre gives easy access to the water, complete with a boarding ladder and grab handles. An optional collapsible tower adds a towpoint for watersports without disrupting the silhouette when lowered, a detail that keeps the SDX 270 looking considered at rest and at speed alike.
Fifteen guests, one boat, and remarkably little compromise in how they are seated.
The bow lounges wrap from a wider section aft to a narrower forward point, with flip down armrests and a table option for guests who want to dine at anchor. In the cockpit, an L shaped bench to port, a double wide observer’s seat and a bench behind the helm give genuine seating depth rather than perched positions, while the aft chaise unfolds for sunbathing once the engine is off. A fully enclosed head doubles as a changing room, a rare feature at this length, and insulated storage beneath the bow seats keeps gear dry and out of the way. Every seat back and cushion is designed to be used, not just admired.
A cockpit wet bar turns an afternoon anchorage into a proper gathering.
Fitted into the aft port corner, it pairs a sink and tap with a refrigerator, enough to keep the day running without a trip back to the dock. Freshwater showers at both the bow and the stern rinse off swimmers quickly, and a Fusion stereo with accessory charging at the helm keeps the boat connected underway. Storage is worked hard throughout, with lockable compartments in the bow and cockpit sole, a dedicated space for pedestal tables, and a console shelf for phones and wallets at the helm. It is a boat built around the hours spent at anchor as much as the ones spent running.
She is designed, engineered and built entirely in house, from naval architecture through to finish.
She measures 8.3 metres overall on a 2.6 metre beam, with a shallow 0.9 metre draught that opens up skinnier anchorages than most dayboats her size can reach. Displacement runs to 2,450 kilograms, light enough for the standard 300 horsepower engine to deliver brisk, stable performance. New, she is priced from 90,000, a position that makes her a realistic entry point into a larger yacht owning life rather than a one season purchase. For a buyer who wants genuine comfort for fifteen, dependable range and a design built around real use, the SDX 270 earns her place on the water.
