Cruising in comfort – and while on the hook – define the new Sea Ray SLX 360. Photo courtesy, Sea Ray.
Instead of the typical boat show venue, Sea Ray chose to introduce its SLX 360 Outboard sport boat at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show because its high-tech automotive-inspired helm is designed to invite new boaters into the lifestyle. The enhanced command station delivers responsive touchscreens, autorouting, autopilot, automatic lighting, joystick piloting with an integrated bow thruster, and onboard diagnostics. The high-end comforts expected from Sea Ray are also here, with a climate-controlled cockpit and private cabin with stand-up shower, massive aft sunbed, fold-down swim terrace, and bow seating with flip-down arm rests.

This is Sea Ray’s most automotive-inspired helm to date with a powered helm seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated controls, twin ultrawide Simrad NSX displays, and premium upholstery. Optional system upgrades including the Fathom e-Power (an integrated lithium-ion power management platform that replaces noisy combustion engine generators), a gyrostabilizer, and joystick piloting.

The deck layout is designed for entertaining and socializing with wraparound L-shaped seating and a backrest that rotates to transform the summer kitchen into an expansive prep station. A fold-down swim terrace expands deck space and improves access to the water.

A climate-controlled private cabin with U-shaped seating that converts into a cozy bed, and a full stand-up head that’s accessible without exiting the privacy of the sleeping quarters. Oversized hullside windows and skylights (integrated with the bow sunshade) bring in ample natural light.

Sea Ray’s Quiet Ride technology includes a hull architecture designed to reduces noise and vibration for a noticeably smoother, calmer experience on the water that delivers greater comfort over long runs. Expansive hullside windows on both sides of the bow illuminate the cabin below.
