2026 Cutwater C-248 C Overview

Adventure at High Speed. Patented Stepped-Hull Efficiency Meets First-Class Overnight Luxury.

The ultimate crossover cruiser built for speed, efficiency, and extended weekend adventures. Driven by a powerful 250 HP Yamaha outboard and built on Cutwater’s patented Stepped Keel hull design, the 2026 Cutwater 248 C-Coupe delivers thrilling performance without sacrificing cruiser comfort. Featuring a legal 8’ 6” trailering beam, standard bow thrusters, a fully enclosed all-weather salon, a complete galley, and sleeping space for up to four, this trailerable powerhouse is ready to expand your horizon.

Patented High-Performance Hull
What sets the Cutwater 248 apart from traditional cruisers is its revolutionary Stepped Keel hull design. By introducing air under the hull and utilizing a specialized tunnel configuration, the boat gets on plane instantly, runs at much higher top-end speeds, and achieves incredible fuel economy. Powered by a dependable Yamaha 250 HP outboard with digital electric steering, you get smooth, athletic handling in rough chop, paired with the shallow draft and low-maintenance convenience of outboard power.

Smart Cabin Engineering & All-Weather Comfort
Inside the pilothouse, the 248 C-Coupe is flooded with natural light thanks to a massive, single-piece curved windshield and opening glass atrium roof hatches. The interior layout maximizes every square inch: a full starboard galley features a refrigerator, microwave, and cooktop, while the portside dinette converts smoothly into a bed. For overnights, the private forward master stateroom includes a plush island berth and a fully enclosed marine head with a hot-water shower. When the sun sets, the opening aft glass bulkhead folds open to connect the salon directly to the cockpit, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining space.
