2027 Robalo 246 Cayman

Overview

The 2027 Robalo 246 Cayman is a 24-foot-6-inch bay boat built for the way Southwest Florida anglers and families spend their time on the water. It is a mid-sized, performance-minded Robalo that gets you into skinny water, handles the chop on the way home, and gives everyone aboard room to enjoy the day. If you want one boat for fishing the flats, running to a sandbar, and cruising with family and friends, this Robalo bay boat deserves a close look.

Shallow water is where the 246 Cayman stands out. With a draft of roughly 12 to 16 inches, it reaches flats and backcountry areas many boats can't. That opens up the skinny water of Pine Island Sound, the winding mangrove shorelines of the Ten Thousand Islands, and the grass flats and channels around Charlotte Harbor. Charlotte Harbor can kick up a moderate chop, and the 246 Cayman is engineered for it. Its deep-V hull forward transitions to a stepped design aft, helping the boat cut through waves for a smoother ride when the water gets bumpy.

Power comes from a 350HP Yamaha outboard, which delivers brisk acceleration and cruising speeds well over 40 MPH. That means less time running and more time fishing. A 60-gallon fuel tank gives you a good operating range for a full day of inshore and nearshore fishing or cruising without constantly worrying about the gauge.

Anglers will appreciate how the 246 Cayman is set up. Insulated fish boxes and livewells keep your catch and bait in good shape, and additional under-seat compartments give you places to stow tackle, gear, and the rest of your day's essentials. The 8-foot-6-inch beam and ample deck space provide a stable platform to work from, whether you're sight-casting on a flat or working a channel edge.

It's every bit as good when the rods are put away. With seating for up to 9 passengers, the 246 Cayman is a natural for family days on the water. Its shallow draft is ideal for easing up to sandbars and beaches, so island-hopping to favorites like Cayo Costa, Keewaydin, and Beer Can Island is easy. Bring the kids, the cooler, and the beach chairs and make a day of it.

At 24 feet 6 inches, the Cayman is substantial enough to feel secure, yet it remains trailerable with a standard truck. That makes it a smart pick for a first-time boat owner who wants versatility without stepping into something overwhelming. Its straightforward operation and manageable size make ownership easy.

We believe in matching the right boat to the right water. The 246 Cayman is a bay boat, strongest inshore and nearshore. For extended runs into the open Gulf of Mexico, a larger, heavier center console with higher freeboard is the better tool, and we're happy to talk through what fits the way you boat.
