Express Cruiser

Luhrs has long been known for building well-engineered, dependable sportfishing boats - and the 280 Express is a prime example. With its deep-V hull, wide beam, and practical layout, this model delivers both offshore performance and comfortable coastal cruising.


The layout is ideal for Southern California fishing - equally suited for day runs to the islands or extended weekend trips. The open cockpit provides plenty of space for gear and action, while the fishing tower offers excellent visibility for spotting kelp paddies or navigating open water. Below, the cabin is compact but well-equipped, featuring a functional galley, convertible berth, and enclosed head - comfortable accommodations for up to four.


“Tailchaser III” represents a proven hull with strong fundamentals, ready for a new owner to enjoy as-is or further personalize. Solid construction, twin Yanmar diesels, and practical design make her a reliable platform for fishing or coastal cruising.


In 2024, Tailchaser III received fresh bottom paint, new shaft seals, and a new set of bronze props - ensuring she’s ready for her next adventure.

Client Testimonials

«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
