Overview

Discover the ultimate versatile companion for your Southwest Florida boating adventures: the 2027 Grady-White 251 CE (Coastal Explorer). This exceptional 25-foot center console is masterfully designed to excel in the diverse waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Charlotte Harbor, and the intricate beauty of the Ten Thousand Islands. Whether you're seeking a thrilling day of inshore or nearshore fishing, exploring pristine sandbars, or enjoying a leisurely cruise with family and friends, the 251 CE delivers unparalleled performance and comfort.

At Fish Tale Boats, we understand the unique demands of boating in Southwest Florida, and this Grady-White 251 CE is perfectly suited to meet them. Its robust construction and thoughtful design ensure a smooth, dry ride, even when navigating the chop of the Gulf or the larger bays. The 16-degree deadrise hull strikes an ideal balance, offering stability and comfort without compromising on maneuverability or efficiency. This isn't just a boat; it's a premium-tier vessel built for durability and a superior on-water experience, embodying Grady-White's renowned quality.

The 251 CE offers an impressive blend of capability and convenience. With a length just over 25 feet and a 102-inch beam, it provides ample interior space for relaxation and activities while remaining manageable for trailering. The moderate deadrise hull is engineered for the typical Southwest Florida conditions, ensuring a comfortable journey to your favorite fishing spots or secluded coves. Powered by an engine up to 300 horsepower, you’ll have the speed and responsiveness needed for any adventure. The 78-gallon fuel tank provides the range to explore further, and with a capacity for up to 10 passengers, there’s plenty of room for everyone.

For the avid angler, the 251 CE is a true asset. Its shallow draft of just 16 inches opens up access to the shallow flats and backwaters of Pine Island Sound and the Ten Thousand Islands, areas often inaccessible to larger vessels. Generous storage, including insulated fish boxes and lockable rod storage, keeps your gear organized and ready. The 12.75-gallon livewell is perfect for keeping your bait lively, with an optional larger livewell available. This boat is equally adept at nearshore excursions, targeting a variety of inshore species with ease. While not a dedicated offshore vessel, the 251 CE can confidently handle fair-weather trips into the Gulf, reaching offshore locations with its capable hull and ample power.

Beyond its fishing prowess, the 2027 Grady-White 251 CE is an exceptional platform for family day trips and leisure cruising. Comfortable seating, including spacious bow seating with adjustable backrests and a forward console seat, invites relaxation.
