Overview

Discover the 2027 Grady-White GW-285, a 28-foot center console designed to be your ultimate partner for exploring the diverse waters of Southwest Florida. Whether you're chasing the thrill of offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, navigating the abundant fishing grounds of Charlotte Harbor and the Ten Thousand Islands, or simply seeking the perfect spot to anchor at a secluded sandbar, the GW-285 delivers an exceptional experience. This versatile vessel masterfully blends the robust capabilities required for serious angling with the comfort and style that make for unforgettable family days on the water.

At Fish Tale Boats, we understand what makes boating in Southwest Florida special. We're a family-owned dealership with deep roots in this community, and we know that a boat needs to perform. The Grady-White GW-285, with its premium construction and thoughtful design, is built to excel in our local environment. Its Grady-White SeaV² hull is engineered to provide a remarkably smooth and dry ride, slicing through the chop that can often develop on our coastal waters, ensuring comfort for everyone aboard, from the seasoned angler to the youngest family member. This hull design minimizes pounding and spray, making those longer runs offshore or across the bay much more enjoyable.

For the angler, the GW-285 is a dream. Its nearshore and offshore fishing capabilities are second to none in its class. The twin Yamaha F350 XSB engines provide exhilarating acceleration and ample power to get you to the fishing grounds quickly and efficiently, with top-end speeds in the mid-40s. The substantial fuel capacity means you can venture further and fish longer, maximizing your opportunities. The generous deck space offers plenty of room to maneuver, fight fish, and store your gear, while the relatively shallow draft allows for access to those hard-to-reach inshore spots and shallow flats that hold so much promise. Imagine pulling up to a pristine sandbar on Cayo Costa or Keewaydin Island, or exploring the intricate waterways of the Ten Thousand Islands – the GW-285 makes it all possible with confidence.

Beyond its fishing prowess, the GW-285 is an outstanding platform for family recreation. The comfortable seating arrangements, ample storage for all your essentials, and the smooth, stable ride create the perfect environment for leisurely cruises, watersports, or simply enjoying a sunset cocktail. It’s the kind of boat that encourages you to spend more time on the water, creating memories that will last a lifetime. As a mid-to-upper tier offering from Grady-White, you can expect nothing less than exceptional build quality and reliability, reflecting the brand's renowned reputation for durable, well-built boats.

It’s a boat that’s ready for anything – from a challenging offshore fishing trip to a relaxing day of island hopping with the family.
