Description
Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a longer voyage, the Ranger Tugs R-23 delivers big-boat comfort in a compact, trailerable package. Designed to punch above its weight class, the R-23 offers many of the upscale features typically reserved for larger yachts—without the hefty price tag. From first-time boaters to seasoned mariners, this versatile cruiser is ready to chart your next course.
Step into the forward cabin and you’ll find a cozy teak dinette that easily transforms into a sleeping space for two—either side-by-side or separately with the filler cushion. The mid-berth is ideal for kids, guests, or extra gear, while the convertible dinette adds a third berth option. The galley comes fully equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, and microwave, making onboard meals a breeze.
The enclosed head features a marine toilet with holding tank, a shower, sink, and mirror—everything you need for comfort on the water. Navigation is seamless with the standard Garmin 943xsv GPS chartplotter and sonar, plus optional xHD radar for expanded capability. Standard features like VHF radio, illuminated compass, cabin and cockpit lighting, and integrated trailering lights ensure you're ready to cruise safely and confidently.
Out back, the cockpit is equally suited for reeling in the catch of the day or relaxing with friends. Rod holders come standard, with optional downrigger pads and outlets for serious anglers. A folding double seat adds flexibility for entertaining or lounging dockside.
