2024 Hewescraft Pacific Explorer 270

PLAN YOUR EXPLORATION - THEN PLAN FOR MORE
Concerns about safety keep boaters from island hopping through the San Juan Islands or exploring the fabled Inside Passage. Concerns about value for money keep boaters from committing to a big-ticket excursion vessel. The Pacific Explorer puts every one of these fears to rest. It boasts the perfect pairing of a well-appointed interior, with the toughness of the Alaskan’s big-water frame. Its nearly endless list of standard features (sleeper v-berth; flush head closet; mahogany galley with cooktop, sink, and refrigerator; and much more) makes it, by far, the best value in its class. There’s value—and then there’s Hewescraft Pacific Explorer value.
The Pacific Explorer is based on our offshore-tough, 8’-wide Alaskan hull with many added conveniences for extended stays on the water. Although we have added more class and comfort to the Pacific Explorer, it is still built with fishing in mind and it does not sacrifice any of the rugged, fishing-first tradition upon which Hewescraft was founded.

The interior features a class-leading berth and enough space to comfortably sleep a family of four. Many of the amenities and finishing touches previously only found in our flagship 290 Adventure are now also offered in the Pacific Explorer. The 102” beam and increased fuel capacity ensure that you have endless opportunities to explore on the water.
