The portside sport deck doubles as a spacious swim and dive platform or a convenient area for landing fish—an industry first on a boat this size.
Additionally, Grady-White continues to pioneer innovation with advancements like patented interior rod racks featuring integrated sliding storage within the console cabin’s forward gunwales, and the exclusive AirView AV2® hardtop enclosure—introduced in 2013—which set new standards for open-air comfort and protection.
Grady-White has consistently led the industry in comfort and versatility. In 2003, they introduced the aft fold-down bench seat—quickly dubbed the “best seat in the house”—which easily tucks away for more deck space. The 2006 Tournament 275 debuted an electronically controlled convertible lounge seat, while the 2014 dual consoles introduced a three-position sliding and tilting companion seat that redefined passenger comfort. In 2017, the Canyon 271 added fold-away, forward-facing bolstered backrests, further elevating Grady-White’s reputation for patented seating excellence.
Center consoles are designed for serious anglers who also enjoy family fun and cruising.
Bay or inshore boats, Grady’s Coastal Explorers were designed for shallow water fishing.
One of the best boat styles for families, dual consoles easily adapt to a variety of activities.
Performance, comfort, and luxury make Express cabin boats perfect for both entertaining and offshore fishing.
Walkaround cabin boats provide overnight accommodations and are well-suited for fishing and family cruising.
