2026 Hewescraft Pacific Explorer 270 MLC

Large fishing deck, full walk-through cabin, plush overnight features, and hardcore fishing function—there’s nothing like the Pacific Explorer. A mahogany galley, heated v-berth, flush head, and clean deck space make it your floating base of operations. Fish, sleep, explore, repeat.

Take your turn at the helm of the boat that doesn’t make you choose between comfort and catch.

The 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 increased fuel capacity ensure that you have endless opportunities to explore on the water.
