Coastal Explorers
Coastal Explorer is a term that Grady-White coined for our first model of this type of boat, which is also referred to as a bay or inshore boat. They are designed primarily for the angler that wants a shallow water fishing boat. The bow is typically built with a casting deck and low gunnels that provide anglers easy access to the water when boating a fish but have a shallower draft to allow them to fish in “skinny” inshore waters. Set up like a center console boat, the Grady-White Coastal Explorer Series models have a SeaV²® hull that gives extra stability for traversing both inshore and offshore waters. Where most inshore boats would not be well-suited to go offshore, the Grady Coastal Explorers can venture offshore and still keep everyone safe and comfortable. Their design and size not only make for great fishability, but these boats are also just right for families that enjoy water sports and beaching.
