2027 Robalo R257

Overview

The 2027 Robalo R257 is a 25-foot dual console built for Southwest Florida anglers who also want a boat the whole family enjoys. Fish Tale Boats is bringing in this new, fiberglass R257 for our Fort Myers location. It is currently on order, so now is a good time to talk with us about it.

Dual consoles earn their popularity on Gulf Coast water, and the R257 shows why. The helm and passenger consoles give you real protection from wind and spray on a run across Charlotte Harbor or out to the Gulf of Mexico. The cockpit is still set up for fishing, with a 30-gallon livewell, two 50-gallon insulated fish boxes with overboard drains and a discharge pump, and plenty of rod storage. A fiberglass hardtop carries six more rod holders, LED spreader lights and dual storage boxes, so you stay out of the sun while you work.

At 25 feet 3 inches long with a 9-foot-2-inch beam, the R257 has the room a group of friends or family needs. It is rated for up to 11 passengers. A walk-through bow door, a port-side cockpit entry door and a walk-thru transom door make it easy to board from a dock, a sandbar or the beach. The bow casting platform converts to U-shaped seating, and the port split bench has a reversible backrest that turns into an aft-facing sun lounge. You can fish in the morning and spend the afternoon anchored with the family off Pine Island Sound or the Ten Thousand Islands.

The hull is Robalo's Hydro Lift multi-angle design, built with a Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass structural system, poured composite transom coring and encapsulated reserve flotation. Its 22-inch draft lets you work many of the shallower areas around the islands and bays, and the 165-gallon fuel capacity gives you room to plan a full day inshore or a run to the nearshore reefs and wrecks. At 6,500 lbs dry weight, it is a solid, stable platform.

This unit is configured with twin Yamaha F200XSA2 four-stroke 200 hp outboards with electric-over-hydraulic steering. It also has a Lenco auto trim tab kit and a windlass package with a V700 windlass, a useful combination for anchoring and holding trim in changing conditions. The Atlas Blue hull sides with white graphics and the Harbor Atlas Blue cockpit interior give it a clean, sharp look, and the black canvas and covers finish it off.

Electronics and comfort are covered as well. A Simrad NSS4/12 chartplotter with a 12-inch touch screen and built-in GPS comes standard, along with a premium Bluetooth sound system with Sirius satellite and waterproof wireless charging docks. Inside the console you get an enclosed fiberglass head compartment with a lockable door. This boat adds an electric toilet with an 8-gallon holding tank. A bow table with dedicated storage suits lunch at anchor.
