Ranger Tugs R-31 Command Bridge

Premium Features. Practical Design.

The Ranger Tugs R-31 Command Bridge is a premium diesel-powered cruiser that combines the comfort of a much larger yacht with the flexibility of a trailerable platform. Designed for extended cruising, entertaining, and exploring new destinations, the R-31 CB delivers exceptional versatility without sacrificing ease of ownership.

One of the R-31 CB's defining features is its fully equipped command bridge, providing a second helm station with outstanding visibility for navigating coastal waters, inland waterways, and busy marinas. The folding bridge allows the boat to remain trailerable, giving owners the freedom to discover new cruising grounds wherever adventure leads.

Inside, the bright and spacious cabin is thoughtfully arranged for extended stays aboard. A private forward stateroom with an island berth, spacious midship stateroom, inviting salon, and fully equipped galley create a welcoming environment that feels like home on the water. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, while premium finishes and abundant storage make every cruise more comfortable.

Powered by a Volvo D4 320 HP diesel inboard, the R-31 CB delivers dependable performance and impressive cruising efficiency. Standard bow and stern thrusters simplify docking and close-quarters maneuvering, while advanced Garmin electronics provide confidence underway.
