There's been a lot of excitement at the Grady-White booth during this year's boat shows. In the fall, we introduced the Adventure 218, and our 281 Coastal Explorer made its debut at the spring shows.

The all new 281 CE - 28' Coastal Explorer

The ultimate inshore/offshore boat, built on Grady-White's legendary SeaV"® hull, the all-new 281 Coastal Explorer is a real game-changer!

Packed with ingenuity, starting with a new standard portside electric fold down platform with stowable ladder and the newly designed aft bench seat with three different configurations, this top-of-the-line Grady-White boat delivers triple the thrills.

From fishing the shallows, and the deepest offshore canyons, to riding in luxury and style to and from the sandbar, this incredibly versatile boat will be the delight of the entire family!

All new Adventure 218 - 21' Walkaround Cabin

Grady-White's all-new Adventure 218, a go-anywhere, do-it-all, reimagined version of the original walkaround cabin design. The new 218 is sleek and stylish, built on Grady's heritage of superior performance, exceptional quality, seaworthy-safety, and versatility.

Designed for both the devoted angler and families that fish, play, and overnight, the 218's wider beam provides a more spacious walkaround and cabin. The addition of integrated swim platforms and pivoting aft seat backs affords more room for the angler to fight fish while also providing easy access for watersports. The curved windshield and signature sheerline yield an updated profile that adds to this boat's head-turning appeal. Get your new RV for the water today - the Adventure 218!
