True to its Pacific Northwest heritage, Cutwater builds enclosed pilothouse cruisers that keep everyone warm and dry in wet and windy conditions – but also with standard AC/heat that makes it practical on any coast. The new C-288 CB gets its name from an open-air “command bridge” with full helm controls atop the pilothouse. At anchor or underway, the Command Bridge offers an elevated vantage point with panoramic views and seating for four, making it the perfect place to navigate or enjoy the view.
