The Yamaha 295SD is an exciting   dayboat, marrying high performance with luxurious design. At its heart lie twin supercharged Yamaha 1.8L SVHO engines, collectively churning out 500 hp, ensuring that the Yamaha 295SD manages casual afternoon cruises and more demanding trips with ease.

The 295SD appears to spare no effort in embodying comfort and convenience. Its wide 9-foot beam enhances its volume, allowing for various seating configurations. Noteworthy is the fully enclosed head compartment, equipped with a vacuum-flush toilet. Equally cool: A fiberglass hardtop that provides shade and style.

Innovation is a key hallmark, as displayed by the inclusion of a 15-inch Connext touchscreen that centralizes navigation, audio, and other boat controls. This integration is bolstered by the Helm Master EX joystick, which allows for precise maneuverability—particularly invaluable in crowded marinas and docks. Further complementing this are additional features like the Siren Marine Connected Boat Monitoring System, offering peace of mind with 24/7 security tracking and real-time alerts.

Aesthetically, the Yamaha 295SD exudes modern luxury. Its sculpted hardtop, complete with integrated speakers, not only provides protection from the elements but also enriches the boating experience with immersive audio. The swim platform is another standout feature, designed for leisure and ease, featuring lounge seating and clean-out ports which facilitate maintenance without the mess.
