275 Explorer

The Aquasport 275 Explorer was introduced in 1999 and an entry-level express with a large fishing cockpit and functional cabin accommodations. In elevating the deckhouse to gain cabin headroom below, the Explorer’s profile seems a little ungainly, and she lacks the streamlined appearance common to most modern express boats. A versatile boat with the emphasis on fishing, the mid-cabin interior of the 275 provides more living space than many other 27-footers. With berths for four, an enclosed head with near-standing headroom, and a compact galley with sink, icebox and stove, the Explorer can easily serve as a capable weekend family cruiser. In the cockpit, fishing amenities include two large in-deck fish boxes with overboard pumpouts, cockpit bolsters, an oval (lighted) livewell behind the passenger seat, transom door, a bait prep center, and an in-deck storage locker forward of the fish boxes. A walk-through windshield provides access to the foredeck—something seldom seen in a serious fishing boat. Twin 225hp outboards cruise the Aquasport 275 at 30 knots and reach a top speed of over 40 knots.
