Overview

Discover the ultimate in versatility on Southwest Florida’s stunning waters with the 2027 Chaparral 280 OSX. This exceptional sport deck boat masterfully blends the comfort and style of a premium bowrider with the rugged capability of an offshore-ready vessel, making it the perfect companion for everything from exhilarating fishing trips in Charlotte Harbor and the Ten Thousand Islands to relaxed days spent anchored at your favorite sandbar. At Fish Tale Boats, we understand the diverse boating needs of our Southwest Florida community, and the Chaparral 280 OSX truly embodies that spirit of adaptability.

Designed for those who refuse to compromise, this approximately 28-foot, 9-foot beam beauty offers a deep-V hull that cuts through the waves with confidence, ensuring a smooth and dry ride whether you're navigating the Gulf of Mexico or exploring the intricate waterways of Pine Island Sound. Its offshore-capable design means you can venture further with peace of mind, while its thoughtful layout provides ample space and comfort for up to 12 passengers. Imagine cruising with the family, enjoying the sun and sea, then effortlessly transitioning to a nearshore fishing adventure targeting snook, redfish, or tarpon. The 280 OSX makes it all possible.

Chaparral's reputation for quality construction and well-appointed features is evident throughout the 280 OSX. This is a boat built to impress, offering a premium, family-oriented experience without sacrificing serious fishing functionality. The spacious deck provides comfortable seating for everyone, from the bow lounge to the aft bench, and features like a cooler and optional table enhance your day trips. Even with its focus on leisure, the 280 OSX is equipped with essential fishing amenities, including a livewell to keep your bait or catch fresh. Its relatively shallow draft allows for access to many of the beloved sandbars and shallow anchorages that make Southwest Florida boating so unique, like Keewaydin and Cayo Costa, though always exercise caution in very shallow areas.

Powered by twin Yamaha engines, you can expect responsive performance, comfortable cruising speeds, and the reliability that comes with a top-tier marine power plant. With a substantial fuel capacity, your range is extended, allowing for longer excursions and more time enjoying the water. Storage is generous, keeping your gear organized and out of the way.
