About Grady-White Coastal Explorers

The Coastal Explorer is Grady-White's answer to anglers who need to fish the flats and backcountry without sacrificing the ability to run offshore when conditions allow. This unique hull design drafts shallow enough for skinny water access while maintaining the legendary Grady-White ride quality that lets you venture further offshore than any traditional bay boat. If Southwest Florida's diverse waterways are your playground -- from Pine Island flats to offshore reefs -- the Coastal Explorer is your ideal companion.

Questions

Grady-White Coastal Explorers: Common Questions

What is a Grady-White Coastal Explorer?

The Coastal Explorer is Grady-White's shallow-water series: a hull designed to reach skinny inshore water while keeping the ability to run nearshore when conditions allow.

Where does a Coastal Explorer fit in Southwest Florida waters?

It is built for the kind of water Southwest Florida anglers fish most: the flats and backcountry of Estero Bay, Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor, with the option to head out into the Gulf on calmer days.

How is a Coastal Explorer different from a bay boat?

Grady-White positions the Coastal Explorer as a shallow-water boat with more rough-water capability than a traditional bay boat.
