2025 Hewescraft Adventure 290 

The Hewescraft Adventure is the biggest, toughest, most comfortable, most feature-rich model ever produced in the 75-year history of Hewes Marine Company. The Adventure not only provides every boating essential, but it also provides a world-class live-aboard interior with materials and creature comforts that rival cabin cruisers with double the price tag. All this comes wrapped in a tough, lifetime-welded exterior and hull that will power you smoothly through swells and chop. In the Hewescraft Adventure, you’ll bring along all your essentials, and lots more, wherever your boating adventures take you.

We set out to create something new, something a serious angler would use for more than a trip to the salmon grounds. The 290 Adventure is not simply a larger version of another Hewescraft, it’s a completely new design. Built with fishing in mind, the Adventure provides a huge deck and 245 gallons of fish storage.

The spacious interior cabin is designed with 6’4” of headroom and is nicely appointed for cruising, cooking, and entertaining. As you step down into the forward cabin, you will immediately notice how roomy and comfortable the area feels. This is not a cramped cuddy; overnight accommodations are exceptionally nice. Amenities such as the upholstered walls and ceiling, port and starboard screened windows, LED lights, and power outlets all make for very relaxing nights. Overall the Adventure sleeps 4 adults, is rated for a crew of 11, and does so with hot/cold running water, cooktop, microwave, refrigerator, dinette, cabin heat, and a full head closet which includes a flushing toilet, sink, and a standup shower.
