Boarding from the integrated swim platform, you'll immediately notice the thoughtful layout that Ranger Tugs is known for. Stainless steel swim rails and a built-in swim ladder make boarding from the dock or water effortless, while the transom door leads into a spacious cockpit designed for both entertaining and fishing.

The cockpit offers a versatile seating arrangement with a reversible transom bench, fold-out jump seats and a teak cockpit table, allowing the space to transform from an open fishing platform into a comfortable outdoor dining area. A powered engine hatch provides excellent access to the Volvo diesel, while raw water washdown, built-in fender storage, rod holders and cockpit refrigeration make the space equally practical for cruising or spending the day on the water.  This model also features a third docking station, making getting back to the dock a breeze. 

The large opening glass doors create an open connection between the salon and cockpit, giving the boat a much larger feel than its size suggests. 

Wide, secure side decks with stainless grab rails lead forward to the bow, where you'll find an electric windlass with helm and bow controls, a complete anchor package featuring a 22 lb anchor, 50 feet of high-test chain and 200 feet of rode, along with a stainless bow pulpit and integrated beaching ladder for exploring remote shorelines.

For anglers, this Ranger Tug is equally at home on the fishing grounds as it is on a weekend cruise. Equipped with two downrigger mounting pads and power terminals, it includes two Scotty downriggers, four adjustable rod holders, and a low-speed trolling module that allows for precise speed control when targeting your favourite species. Whether you're salmon fishing on Lake Ontario or exploring the bays of Georgian Bay, this boat is thoughtfully equipped to make every fishing trip comfortable and productive.

One of the R-29 CB's defining features is the command bridge. Accessed by teak steps from the cockpit, the upper helm offers seating for four around a removable table, making it an outstanding place to entertain while underway or at anchor. Complete engine controls, bow and stern thruster controls, Garmin electronics, VHF, trim tabs, spotlight remote and engine instrumentation allow the boat to be operated entirely from the upper station. 

The lower helm provides exceptional visibility thanks to the large windshield and overhead glass atrium. Docking is made simple with electronic Volvo controls, bow and stern thrusters, Garmin autopilot with wireless remote, AIS 300, twin Garmin 7612 multifunction displays, 4kW HD radar, GPS antenna, depth finder, VHF radio, illuminated compass and trim tabs. Whether cruising long distances or maneuvering in tight marinas, the R-29 inspires confidence for skippers of any experience level.

Stepping inside, the salon is bright and inviting with panoramic windows and overhead skylights filling the cabin with natural light. Warm teak cabinetry, teak and holly flooring and indirect LED lighting create a comfortable atmosphere throughout.

The convertible dinette provides seating for four before quickly converting into an additional berth when overnight guests arrive. Opposite, the fully equipped galley features generous storage, a two-burner propane stove with oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, deep stainless sink, ample drawers and cabinetry, along with a built-in wine and beverage cooler.

Climate control is handled by reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat, while a diesel generator with sound shield, inverter, AGM batteries and a 145-watt solar panel provide excellent capability whether connected to shore power or anchored out for extended stays.

Forward, the private master stateroom features an island berth with a comfortable memory foam mattress, hanging storage, opening hatches with screens and generous drawer storage beneath the bed. 

The enclosed head includes a separate shower enclosure, electric marine toilet with holding tank and deck pump-out, vessel sink and excellent storage, providing all the comforts expected for extended cruising.

The dinette converts into a second berth with use of an insert, and underneath is another private double berth. 

Whether you're looking for a capable Great Loop cruiser, a comfortable cottage boat, or an easy-to-handle diesel cruiser for weekends away, the 2018 Ranger Tugs R-29 CB offers an exceptional balance of efficiency, thoughtful design and cruising comfort in a trailerable 10-foot beam package.
