Power cruisers are a class of boat designed to provide comfortable accommodations for day cruising and overnight trips alike. These boats run in the 25-40 foot range and include subclasses like cuddy cabins, weekenders, and cabin cruisers. These boats typically include a cabin with a shower and a head, cooking facilities, and a protected helm for enjoying the water in all kinds of weather. These boats also have plenty of comfortable seating for crew members and guests.
Typical power cruisers are made of fiberglass material to endure long journeys on the open water. Some models have a deep-v hull designed for cutting through all kinds of wakes, while others will feature more of a flat bottom for slow cruising in shallow ocean and inland waters. The exact materials used may vary by subclass, with custom builds being made from molded fiberglass or composite materials.
Cabin cruisers and other power cruisers are generally propelled by stern drive engines or inboard engines that are designed for performance over the long haul. Some have more powerful engines for quick travel while others have more efficient power sources that offer a more enjoyable cruising speed for relaxing on the water. Some ocean-crossing models include powerful inboard engines capable of long-term travel and various conditions on the open waters.
Power cruisers can include a variety of designs and equipment. Some include creature comforts like air conditioning, entertainment and media centers, high-tech instrument panels and navigation systems, and luxury cabins with separate quarters and high-end head facilities. Smaller models that are more basic may not have many amenities, but some decked-out models could easily be termed yachts with the available options and equipment.
Cruiser boats are larger size vessels frequently used for time-honored endeavors such as overnight cruising and day cruising. They have a rich legacy as vessels that are sought-after due to their moderate draft and generally wider beam, traits that make these vessels exceptionally favorable for overnight cruising and day cruising. The average number of people that can be accommodated onboard cruiser boats listed is 10 passengers, with a maximum capacity of 20 guests and crew. Models with more power can hold motors up to a tremendous 3,904 horsepower, while more economic models may have as little as 50 horsepower engines on them (although the average motor size is 600 HP).
