From the manufacturer-provided description:
"The...265's beauty isn't only skin deep. Below its sophisticated European styling lies the power and agility of a performance cruiser. The huge cockpit leaves nothing to desire. At the transom there is a foldaway bench seat plus a transom door for easy access to an integrated swim platform. The port side wetbar is truly a winning touch and there's even a removable cooler nearby. Stand up! There is full-size headroom aboard the 265. Loaded with appointments, it is one of the most livable 27-footers on the water. Slip into the plush comfort of the U-shaped dinette which converts to a comfortable double berth with plenty of storage below. The aft cabin comes complete with double berth. The private, enclosed head features full standing headroom along with shower, marine toilet, vanity storage, and a sink with faucet and showerhead. The 265's comfortable accomodations will remind you and your guests of home."

Capt. Bob Smith, testing and writing for Boattest.com states:
"She is designed to entertain. Her cockpit area sports two large bench seats behind the helm. Here you can insert a stowable table with cup holders molded right in the corners. The wet bar serves you from the port side of the cockpit central area. It is complete with a double sink and a nice size cooler for keeping lots of cool beverages and sandwiches. The companion seat is really a lounge with a sculpted armrest that doubles as a backrest when you want to sit facing the driver. The helm seat is a sizeable bench with flip up thigh bolster to improve view underway.

At the Controls

The helmsman has all the controls in easy reach from the tilt steering wheel. Tab controls are back of the throttle so you don’t have to reach over the throttle controls to adjust the tabs. You can easily reach the engine compartment for routine maintenance from the cockpit sole hatch cover. Boarding the boat is from the swim platform and through a swinging transom door that locks in place in the closed position for safety. There is a telescoping ladder mounted under a cover on the starboard side of the large swim platform.

She is well equipped below for a comfortable weekend or just a nice place out of the sun and fun topside. The stereo is mounted below with remote controls at the helm and stern. Entering through the sliding door with molded in steps for going forward topside, you feel at home in a large cabin area. The forward area makes a large seating area with beautiful oblong table, or a sizeable berth for overnighting. The backrests are fabric covered and padded for comfort. A small hanging locker is to starboard as well as the circuit breakers, carbon monoxide detector and air conditioner controls. The galley is to port complete with a small refrigerator, microwave, cook top and plentiful storage. Across from the galley is a full “wet” head with vanity, shower and toilet. Just to the right of the steps going up to the cockpit is a crawlway to the stern bunk. The kids will love this area and it is large enough for them to have their own space on the bunk. "
