Sea Fox’s 288 Traveler is aimed squarely at family fishing, sandbar parties and watersports activities. Here is how the boat hit the mark.

The deep-V hull features a pronounced Carolina-flared bow for a dry ride in the rough, and a sharp V-bottom makes it smooth in chop.

Its top speed of just under 58 mph at 6,100 rpm is rewarding, and acceleration at 30 mph is a cat-quick 5 seconds. In the bow, a standard anchor windlass and heavy-duty stainless-steel anchor with chain and rode operate via electric ­controls, with a freshwater washdown.

At the helm, two 12-inch Garmin screens, a Yamaha CL-5 digital engine gauge, digital throttle and shift, plus ­Lenco electric trim tabs are all standard. Electric hydraulic steering is optional. 

Upgraded diamond-stitched upholstery in the bow and cockpit is cozy, durable, and comes with recessed cubbies with chargers and cup holders and storage underneath. An adjustable-height cocktail table can fill the forward seating cushions for a sun bed.

A standard hardtop with a powder-coated, beefy aluminum frame boasts storage features and fittings for outriggers. A JL Audio system with a Fusion head unit is standard. A folding wind dam expands between the consoles for cold-weather riding.

The port console opens to reveal a very large and easily accessible head with a porcelain toilet. A gelcoated ski locker is in the sole between the consoles. An optional electric grill and cutting board are available.

Dual in-floor fish boxes gravity-drain completely. A portside dive door with heavy-duty hardware and a built-in, flip-over stainless-steel ladder makes on-water boarding and debarking easy.

A 30-gallon pressurized livewell with aquarium see-through glass and a door is fitted to the portside transom. A 30-gallon freshwater shower tank, insulated cooler, four-step stainless-steel ladder, and access to rigging underneath are all featured at the transom.  

The 288 makes it clear Sea Fox is committed to reliable quality and high value.
