2004 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer – Trailer Included | A/C & Heat | Full Camper Canvas

If you're looking for a versatile express cruiser that offers the perfect combination of comfortable overnight accommodations, entertaining space, and manageable size, this 2004 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer is an excellent choice. Sea Ray's Sundancer lineup has long been one of the most recognizable names in recreational cruising, and the 260 delivers an impressive amount of boat in a package that remains easy to handle.

With an overall length of approximately 28 feet including the factory extended swim platform and an 8'6" beam, the 260 Sundancer provides plenty of room for family and friends without stepping into the size and operating costs of a larger cruiser.

Even better, a trailer is included, giving the next owner considerably more flexibility when it comes to transportation, storage, launching, and winter layup.

COCKPIT & EXTERIOR

The cockpit is designed around entertaining and enjoying long days on the water. Sea Ray made excellent use of the available space, providing comfortable seating throughout while maintaining an open and functional layout.

The helm features an adjustable captain's seat with flip-up bolster, providing excellent visibility whether you're cruising seated or operating from a raised position.

Across from the helm is a spacious portside lounge with forward- and aft-facing seating. The seating arrangement provides plenty of room for passengers while underway and creates a comfortable social area when anchored or tied up at the dock.

Additional cockpit highlights include:

• Spacious cockpit seating arrangement
• Adjustable captain's chair with flip-up bolster
• Portside passenger lounge
• Convertible lounge/sunpad-style seating arrangement
• Foldaway aft bench seating
• Cockpit refreshment/wet-bar area with sink and storage
• Removable cockpit table
• Walk-through transom
• Large transom storage compartment
• Cockpit lighting
• Molded cabin-entry steps providing access through the windshield to the bow
• Extended swim platform
• Concealed stainless-steel swim ladder

The large extended swim platform is especially nice for swimming, watersports, boarding from the dock, or simply relaxing at anchor.

FULL CAMPER CANVAS + COCKPIT COVER

One of the biggest advantages of this particular boat is the canvas package.

It includes a full camper top, allowing the cockpit to be enclosed and significantly extending the usable boating season. Whether you're dealing with a cool morning, evening weather, rain, or simply want additional protection while spending a weekend aboard, the camper enclosure adds tremendous versatility.

The boat also includes a cockpit cover for convenient protection when the boat isn't being used.

Having both gives the owner the ability to fully enclose the cockpit when cruising while still having a quicker everyday cover available when needed.

CABIN & ACCOMMODATIONS

Step below deck and you'll quickly see why the Sundancer became such a popular family cruiser.

Sea Ray packed an impressive amount of usable living space into the 260. Rather than simply providing somewhere to get out of the weather, the cabin is designed for actual weekend cruising and overnight stays.

The forward cabin features a large convertible V-berth/dinette area. During the day, it provides comfortable seating around the cabin table for meals, drinks, or relaxing. At night, the area converts into a sleeping berth.

Storage is incorporated throughout the cabin, including cabinetry, compartments beneath the cushions, and additional dedicated storage areas.

AFT / MID-CABIN

One of the best features of the 260 Sundancer is its separate aft sleeping area.

The mid-cabin is tucked beneath the cockpit and provides additional sleeping accommodations separate from the forward berth.

This makes the 260 much more practical for couples, families, or anyone planning overnight trips because guests don't all have to share the same sleeping area.

Between the forward convertible berth and aft cabin, the 260 offers legitimate weekend-cruiser accommodations in a boat that's still very manageable.

AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT

This boat is equipped with cabin air conditioning and heat, a major upgrade for anyone planning to spend nights aboard.

Being able to cool the cabin during hot summer days and add heat during cooler spring and fall nights dramatically improves the comfort and usability of the boat.

Combined with the full camper enclosure, the A/C and heat help make this a cruiser that can be enjoyed for much more than just perfect-weather summer afternoons.

GALLEY

The galley provides the amenities needed for meals, snacks, drinks, and weekends aboard.

The 260 Sundancer was designed with a functional galley arrangement featuring:

• Refrigerator
• Microwave
• Cooktop
• Sink with pressurized water
• Countertop/work area
• Upper and lower storage cabinetry
• Additional dedicated galley storage

It's a compact but very usable setup that allows you to spend the entire day—or weekend—on the water without constantly needing to head back to shore.

ENCLOSED HEAD

Another important feature is the private enclosed marine head.

Rather than relying on a portable toilet or exposed arrangement, the Sundancer provides a dedicated fiberglass head compartment with marine toilet, sink/vanity, storage, mirror, and shower capability.

For families, longer days on the water, and overnight trips, having a true enclosed head makes an enormous difference in comfort and convenience.

SWIM PLATFORM & WATER ACCESS

At the stern is Sea Ray's large swim platform, which brings the boat's overall length to approximately 28 feet.

The platform provides plenty of room for boarding, swimming, handling lines at the dock, or getting in and out of the water.

A concealed stainless-steel swim ladder provides convenient water access while keeping the ladder neatly tucked away when not being used.

TRAILER INCLUDED

A trailer is included with the sale, adding substantial value to the package.

For a cruiser in this size range, having the trailer gives the next owner considerably more flexibility. Instead of being completely dependent on a marina or transport company, the boat can be moved for service, storage, launching, or relocation when properly equipped to do so.
