Enjoy comfortable weekends on the water aboard this well-equipped 2006 Cruisers Yachts 280 CXi Express.
Combining sporty performance with practical cruising features, the 280 CXi offers the space and amenities of a much larger boat in an easy-to-manage package.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines with Volvo stern drives, this freshwater cruiser delivers confident handling and dependable performance. The addition of a bow thruster makes docking and close-quarters maneuvering significantly easier — a rare and highly desirable feature on a boat of this size.
One of the standout features of the 280 CXi is its thoughtful layout. The center walk-through windshield provides safe and convenient access to the bow, while the spacious cockpit offers plenty of seating for entertaining family and friends. Below deck, you'll find a bright and inviting cabin with accommodations for overnight cruising.
Features and Highlights:
• Twin Volvo Penta engines with Volvo stern drives • Bow thruster for effortless docking and maneuvering • Air conditioning and heat • Spacious two-cabin layout with forward V-berth and private mid-cabin • Convertible salon dinette • Enclosed head with electric marine toilet • Galley featuring refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, sink, and storage • Full camper canvas enclosure • Center walk-through windshield to the bow • Electric windlass with bow anchor • Bennett trim tabs • Garmin chartplotter and VHF radio • Remote-controlled searchlight • Swim platform with boarding ladder • Shore power with battery charger
The interior of this boat presents exceptionally well. The upholstery is in very good condition and shows pride of ownership, creating a warm and comfortable space for relaxing after a day on the water. The cabinetry and finishes have also been well maintained and contribute to the inviting feel of the interior.
The camper enclosure is functional and provides excellent protection from the elements. Some of the clear vinyl panels are beginning to show their age and may eventually benefit from replacement, presenting an opportunity for the next owner to refresh the enclosure to their own preferences.
The Cruisers 280 CXi remains one of the most sought-after express cruisers in this size range thanks to its generous beam, practical two-cabin layout, and comfortable cockpit design. With the added benefits of a bow thruster, air conditioning and heat, and center walk-through access to the bow, this example offers features typically found on much larger vessels.

Incorporating many of the same innovative design ideas that made the earlier 3075 Express so popular, the Cruisers 280 CXi Express gives boaters luxury performance in an affordable package. Sleek hull lines and curves, a roomy cockpit, excellent handling and great performance successfully blend with extraordinary belowdeck comfort, quality construction and fine attention to detail. Like her sisterships, the 280 Express is no slouch on the water. She surges onto plane quickly and easily, maintaining her smooth ride for everyone aboard and living up to her designation as a true performance cruiser. She's also comfortable. In the cockpit, a double-wide helm seat and the fore- and aft-facing cockpit settees provide ample room for owners and guests. The ergonomic design includes plenty of space for extra electronics and, ensuring additional ease of movement, offers a center windshield walk-through and a companionway to the side rather than in the center. A cockpit sunlounge with cockpit table makes the 280 perfect for those summer-afternoon anchorages. Despite the room above the deck, the living space below seems to belong to a larger boat. The wide-open layout includes a crescent-shaped convertible dinette with cherry table to starboard and a full-service galley to port with an electric refrigerator and electric single burner stove. A microwave oven is standard, while a TV/VCR is available as an option. Plus, the 280 boasts a spacious forward double berth and a fixed double berth aft. In both cases, the sleeping areas can be curtained off for privacy or left open to provide an unsurpassed living space for a boat in this size range. The midships head, located to port, offers full standing headroom and a shower.
