2027 Robalo 246 Cayman

Overview

The 2027 Robalo 246 Cayman is a bay boat for anglers who want to fish the whole Southwest Florida map from one hull. At 24 feet 6 inches long with a 9-foot beam and a 16-inch draft, this new Robalo is built to work shallow water and still carry a crew in comfort. If you are looking for a 24-foot bay boat in Fort Myers, this Cayman deserves a close look.

Built for Southwest Florida water

Our home waters are shallow and varied. Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound reward a boat that can slip onto a grass flat after redfish and snook. The mangrove edges and oyster bars of the Ten Thousand Islands call for a hull that can pick its way through skinny water. The 246 Cayman's 16-inch draft is made for that kind of fishing. Its Hydro Lift multi-angle hull design and Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass construction are aimed at a dry, stable ride when the bay chops up. On a calm day you can run a few miles out into the Gulf of Mexico for nearshore reef fishing, then come back to the flats for the afternoon tide.

Power and rigging on this boat

This Cayman is configured with a Yamaha F350XSA2 four-stroke, a 350 hp outboard with digital electric steering. It is paired with a hydraulic jack plate and a Lenco Pro Control auto trim tab kit, so you can dial in the running attitude for open water or shallow work. A 90-gallon fuel tank supports long days on the water, and the unit shows zero engine hours because it is new. Fish Tale Boats is a Yamaha Key Dealer with Yamaha Certified Master Technicians on staff, so the engine on your boat is supported by people who work on these outboards every day.

Fishing layout

The livewell and fish box capacity is a major strength. A 20-gallon insulated livewell sits at the bow center. Twin aft insulated livewell and fish boxes hold 30 gallons and have dedicated pumps, LED lighting and a Plexiglass divider. A 45-gallon insulated fish box sits forward to starboard. Rod holders, horizontal rod storage under each gunwale and a forward port storage compartment keep your tackle organized and out of the way. The aft double-wide seat folds and converts to a casting platform. The deluxe leaning post adds four rod holders, flip-up bolsters and stainless drink holders. The standard fiberglass hardtop brings shade, four more rod holders, LED spreader lights and integrated console grab rails.

Room for the family

The 246 Cayman is rated for up to 9 passengers. Bow U-shaped seating with removable backrests, a forward console seat and bolster, and a stain-resistant silicone cockpit fabric make it a comfortable boat for friends and family. A Porta-Pottie, a fresh water shower and a raw water washdown system make the day easier. The Bluetooth stereo with four speakers and the waterproof wireless charging dock are standard. A dive swim platform with a three-step boarding ladder helps with getting in and out of the water at a sandbar or island stop.

Finish and details

This boat is finished in Island Green hull sides with black hull graphics, a white bottom and a Dune cockpit interior. The hardtop underside is also Island Green, and a white SeaDek helm mat completes the look. It rides on an aluminum tandem-axle trailer with disc brakes on all four wheels. The Cayman is currently on order for our Fort Myers location, stock number 6678.
