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.

How do I get started on a Grady-White Coastal Explorer at Fish Tale Boats?

Fish Tale Boats is an authorized Grady-White dealer. Request a sea trial through our contact page, get a trade-in value online, and apply for financing pre-approval online whenever you are ready.
