Lines in the water, cold one in hand, and space for every rod, reel, and mate.
The 2026 Sea Fox 288 Traveler arriving soon is built for anglers who demand serious fishing capability as well as uncompromising on family comfort. Twin Yamaha 300HP XSB2 engines with Digital Electric Steering give this rig the grunt to punch offshore, while the HelmMaster joystick and autopilot let you thread the line through structure, hover precisely over hotspots, or make docking a breeze - all without breaking a sweat.
This Traveler isn't just about power. Deck layouts are intelligently designed for fishing and family alike. Wide walkaround decks, deep freeboard, and tons of storage keep the deck clear for rods, tackle, and fish, while dual aquarium-style livewells, insulated fish boxes, and rod racks mean you can chase big fish all day without worrying about logistics. A pre-fitted bow shade keeps the forward area cool and protected during long sessions in the sun.
Inside, comfort meets practicality. DEKit marine mat flooring, plush double diamond-stitch light grey upholstery with orange logo accents, and a JL Audio sound system with 1200W of punch make this boat as at home on a sunset cruise as it is chasing big game at dawn. With the Tech and Pro Packages on board, plus electric overboard waste discharge, cushioned foot mats, extra rod holders, and quick-release fender mounts, the 288 Traveler is ready to fish hard, run fast, and handle whatever the day throws at you.
