Concerns about safety are what keep boaters from pushing across open waters to island hop through the San Juan Islands or explore the fabled Inside Passage. The Pacific Explorer puts those fears to rest. It boasts the perfect pairing of comfort in a well-appointed interior, with the unmatched toughness of the Alaskan’s frame. Any boat can claim to keep you safe during long trips. The Pacific Explorer is not just any boat—it provides outstanding comfort while giving you the confidence to explore that comes with every Hewescraft.



The 270 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 190-gallon fuel capacity ensure that you have endless opportunities to explore on the water.



Boat comes equipped with twin Mercury 200s.
