Why Cutwater

One boat for fishing, cruising and everything in between

Cutwater pairs classic Downeast looks with modern outboard performance. You get a fast, efficient hull, a cockpit set up to fish, and a comfortable enclosed cabin with a galley, head and berths for overnights. It's the rare boat that's just as at home running offshore for the morning bite as it is anchored at a sandbar or cruising the Intracoastal for the weekend.

1

Performance hulls

The larger Cutwaters ride on an advanced double-stepped deep-V hull with Laminar Flow Interrupters, for speed, efficiency, stability and smooth cornering.

2

Built to fish

Rod holders, fish boxes, livewells on select models, and open cockpits make Cutwater a true fishing platform, not just a cruiser.

3

Comforts of home

Private stateroom, enclosed head, a galley with hot and cold water, and wood accents throughout, with an enclosed cabin that makes Lowcountry summers comfortable.

4

Easy to handle

Yamaha outboard power with digital electric steering, and Helm Master EX joystick control on the C-32, make docking and close-quarters maneuvering easy.

5

360° visibility

Big windows all around the helm, plus an opening aft bulkhead window that connects the cabin and cockpit for easy, social boating.

6

Loaded from the factory

Garmin electronics, Fusion audio and a long list of standard features mean your Cutwater is ready to use the day you take delivery.

Boating the Lowcountry

Made for Charleston Harbor, Port Royal Sound & beyond

Cutwater's do-it-all design fits the way we boat here. Run out of Charleston Harbor to the nearshore reefs at first light, cruise the ICW to Beaufort for lunch, then anchor up at a sandbar or tie up at Daufuskie for the evening. The enclosed cabin takes the edge off summer heat and afternoon storms, and keeps the season going through the cooler months.

Twin-outboard models deliver the speed and range for offshore days and long coastal runs, while the trailerable C-248 lets you tow to the Florida Keys or the Chesapeake whenever you like.

Popular Cutwater days from our stores

  • Nearshore reef and wreck fishing off Charleston and Hilton Head
  • ICW cruise from Charleston to Beaufort or Edisto
  • May River and Calibogue Sound sandbar days from Bluffton
  • Dinner runs to Savannah and Daufuskie Island
  • Long-weekend cruises down the Georgia coast
