2027 Robalo 266 Cayman SD

Overview

The 2027 Robalo 266 Cayman SD is a new 26-foot-6-inch bay boat built for anglers and families who want to cover a lot of Southwest Florida water in one day. It can work a grass flat at sunrise, run out to the Gulf of Mexico for a nearshore bite, and end the day anchored at a sandbar with the family. This one is in stock at our Fort Myers location, finished in Alloy Gray with a Harbor Mist cockpit and a white powder-coated fiberglass hardtop.

Built for Southwest Florida's shallow water. This is a bay boat, so it does best where our local fishing is: Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Matlacha, and the backcountry mangrove shorelines of the Ten Thousand Islands. The 266 Cayman SD draws just 18 inches, which opens up flats and creek mouths that deeper boats can't reach. Its 9-foot-4-inch beam gives a wide, stable cockpit for casting, working a drift, or moving around with a rod in hand.

Power that matches the hull. This boat carries a Yamaha Four Stroke 450 HP outboard (model XF450NSA2) with a 30-inch shaft and digital electric steering. A 6-inch hydraulic jack plate with water pressure indication lets you set the engine height for running depth, whether you're crossing open water or easing into skinny water. Trim tabs with an indicator switch help you dial in the ride. With 110 gallons of fuel capacity, you can plan a long day from Fort Myers or Bonita Springs, from the inshore sounds out to the Gulf.

A serious fishing layout. Livewell capacity is a highlight. There is a 20-gallon insulated livewell in the bow, plus twin insulated aft livewell/fish boxes with a Plexiglass divider, each with its own dedicated pump, LED lighting, and an adjustable flow valve. A 45-gallon insulated fishbox sits forward on the starboard side. Rods stay organized in the horizontal storage under each gunwale, in the rod storage under the bow seating, and in the leaning post and gunnel rod holders. The aft double-wide seat converts to a casting platform, and the removable bow cushions and U-shaped bow seating make the front of the boat useful for fishing or relaxing.

Comfort that keeps the whole crew happy. The deluxe leaning post has dual flip-up bolsters, a backrest, and a built-in cooler. A forward console seat and bolster, a lighted compass, a custom bonded windshield with overhead vent, and a wireless phone charging dock make the helm a comfortable place to spend the day. The console includes a gravity discharge porcelain toilet with a 6.5-gallon holding tank. A fresh water shower and a raw water washdown with hose connector make cleanup easy after a day on the water. The premium sound system, with JL Audio speakers, adds music at the sandbar. Dive swim platforms with a ladder on both sides make swimming and getting back aboard easy.

Built to last. The hull is fiberglass with Kevlar reinforcement, a Hydro Lift multi-angle design, poured composite transom coring, and encapsulated reserve flotation. It is NMMA certified to ABYC standards and comes with a Limited Lifetime Hull Warranty. A self-bailing cockpit, tinned copper wiring with waterproof connectors, and stainless hardware throughout show the attention to detail we look for in every
