Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

If you’re looking for a vessel that refuses to choose between a hardcore fishing machine and a luxurious sandbar cruiser, the Tidewater 2500 CB is your new best friend. With its expansive 9' 2" beam and a stable 25' 2" hull, this boat is built for the family that wants to do it all—from sunrise cast net hauls to sunset cocktail cruises.

Anglers will fall in love with the specialized storage, including a dedicated 5-gallon bucket nook for cast nets and a massive 100-gallon insulated box for the day's trophy catch. The dual livewell setup—a 30-gallon tank in the stern and a 12-gallon well in the bow—ensures you have bait exactly where you need it, whether you're working the flats or the open water. When the rods are tucked away in the kingfish holders, the 2500 CB transforms into a social hub. The bow features plush cushions and backrests for lounging, while the 65-quart Yeti cooler and high-end Fusion RA-770 sound system with JL Audio speakers keep the party vibes going.

Powered by a Yamaha 300, this boat has the muscle to zip between spots while you stay cool under the fiberglass T-top. Whether you’re diving off the dual swim platforms or utilizing the 10-inch hydraulic jack plate to explore skinny waters, this Tidewater is designed for those who live for long, sun-drenched days on the water.
