2025 Hewescraft Pacific Explorer 250

So, what’ll it be? A fishing-focused, easy-to-clean, roomy, functional, self-bailing fishing cockpit? Or, a large, comfortable, full-featured cabin, and sleeping quarters? You don’t need to choose one or the other — the Hewescraft Pacific Explorer has all these essentials covered. There is no need to compromise comfort for a genuine fishing machine. The Pacific Explorer’s comfortable cabin featuring a heated v-berth, flush toilet in a private head closet, mahogany galley with cooktop, sink, and refrigerator have all been paired with 50 square feet of self-bailing cockpit space that’s easy to work in, and easy to clean. The Hewescraft Pacific Explorer combines all your fishing, and your boating comfort essentials.

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.
