Interior Comforts

Unlike many mid-cabin cruisers, the fully enclosed aft stateroom provides genuine separation — ideal for families or guests seeking privacy. The forward berth and convertible dinette maximize overnight accommodations without sacrificing livability.
Performance & Ride
With twin Volvo Penta power, the Monterey 302 delivers the performance you want with the reliability you need. Expect a comfortable cruise around 25 knots and the ability to push close to 40 knots when needed. Her deep-V hull ensures a stable, confidence-inspiring ride in varying conditions.
Most boats in this size range compromise on privacy — this one doesn’t. Add in a generator, versatile cockpit seating and strong performance, and you’ve got a well-rounded express cruiser ready for immediate enjoyment.
From the Power Boat Guide
The Monterey 302 is a stylish, affordably priced family cruiser with the features and amenities one expects in a modern express boat. Like all Monterey sportboats, she rides on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with moderate beam and reverse chines to reduce spray.
The 302’s mid-cabin interior differs from most others in her class in one important respect: instead of being open to the salon with just a curtain for privacy, the 302’s aft stateroom is fully enclosed with a solid bulkhead and cabin door. The salon may seem a little less open, but many will agree that the true privacy this layout affords is worth it.
Topside, there’s a doublewide companion seat (with a reversible backrest) at the helm, a wet bar, a removable transom bench seat and an extended swim platform (optional). The side decks are narrow, so the foredeck is best accessed from the walk-through windshield.
Additional features include:
- Reverse arch
- Transom storage locker
- Tilt steering
- Foredeck sun pad
- Removable cockpit table
