The term Cruiser describes a boat that is designed and intended principally for weekend get aways and entertaining. Designed as a sport yacht use in mind, they typically are lavish in both accommodation, comfort and seating above decks. Not as large as motoryachts, sizes of cruisers are generally from 29 to 40 feet. Typically equipped with twin engines capable of pushing the vessel at 20+ knots, they support an active lifestyle.

A sport yacht may best described as a sedan with a blend of classic and contemporary styling. It traditon of mahogany-planked, high-speed runabouts, sport yachts offer both pleasing proportions and power, making them a joy to own and use. In the early years a “cruiser” implied a narrow, deep V hull, often built of wood. Classic cruisers came with a lot of polished teak and brass. Today's cruiser has a large hull with generous, comfortable interiors, designed for safety rather than speed.

In many cases there is a large teak-covered swimplatform that provides safe and convenient access onboard from the dock. Some offer a tender garage that hinges open on a power lift to allow for a dinghy to be stored and retrieved. These platforms can also serve as a launching cradle for personal watercraft.

The deck is designed for comfort afloat. On many sport yachts you'll find electric barbeques, refrigerator and an icemaker. Often a dining table drops to serve as a coffee table or, down lower still, as a sunpad.

Modern cruisers are provided with huge staterooms for both owners and guests and also have adequate accommodation for overnight guests. Most cruisers have seating on the aft deck or cockpit for several guests.

A wet bar is standard equipment as is a freshwater wash down for that shower after a, overboard swim. Cruisers are represented by such well known brands as Carver, Sea Ray, Bayliner, Meridian, Cruisers, and Silverton.
