2001 Celebrity 280

2001 Celebrity 280 — Clean, Well-Maintained & Turnkey

The Celebrity 280 is one of those underrated builds that quietly impresses boaters who value solid construction, smart layout, and quality hardware. Celebrity Boats was known for producing limited-volume, premium midsize express cruisers built with a focus on craftsmanship rather than mass production — which is why well-kept models like this remain desirable on the Great Lakes.

This 2001 Celebrity 280 has been owned for only two seasons and presents in very good overall condition with a layout that feels closer to a 30-32’ cruiser. With a beam of 9’8”, raised helm, mid-cabin berth, convertible dinette, and enclosed head with shower, it delivers comfort for weekends or longer cruising.

Twin MerCruiser 5.7L EFI engines with Bravo Three drives provide strong performance and efficient cruising. Mechanical care has been a priority: maintenance completed includes new impellers, two new alternators, four new batteries, and outdrive service. Hour meters show approximately 988 and 1008 hours.
