Versatile performance meets rugged capability in this new Grady White 281 Coastal Explorer. Built on the proprietary SeaV²® fiberglass hull, this boat is engineered to transition seamlessly from shallow water environments to deep-sea offshore fishing. With an overall length of 8.57 meters and a draft of just 0.56 meters, it provides the stability required for open water and the access needed for coastal exploration.
Powering this vessel is a twin Yamaha V6 3.8cc outboard configuration delivering 600hp total. Owners have the choice of standard hydraulic steering or the Yamaha Full Maneuverability system, which utilizes a joystick to simplify docking and low-speed navigation. This dual-engine setup allows for a cruise speed of 30 knots and a maximum speed of 58 knots, ensuring rapid travel to your favorite fishing grounds or sandy banks.
The deck layout focuses on multifunctionality, highlighted by a new electronically folding port-side platform with an integrated boarding ladder. The aft bench seat offers three distinct configurations, allowing the cockpit to be adjusted for fishing, dining, or relaxing. With a capacity for up to 8 people and a dedicated head compartment, the design prioritizes comfort without sacrificing the specialized features expected from the brand.
This vessel is ideal for families who demand a high-performance fishing platform capable of handling diverse marine conditions. Whether you are targeting shallow-water species or heading to deeper offshore canyons, the ergonomic deck and high-speed potential make it an adaptable choice for varied boating styles.
