2024 Hewescraft Pacific Explorer 270 PE ET

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.
