High-Performance Versatility | Exceptional Comfort | The Sound's Premier 25-Foot Hybrid
The Grady-White Freedom 255 is the ultimate "do-it-all" boat, perfectly sized for family adventures, offshore fishing, and exploring the Connecticut coastline. Built on the award-winning SeaV2® hull, this 25-foot dual console punches well above its weight class, offering the stability and security of a much larger vessel. Whether you are spending the day at the sandbar or heading out to the Race for stripers, the 255 delivers the dry, comfortable ride that has made Grady-White a legend on the Long Island Sound.
Performance & Propulsion
SeaV2® Hull Excellence: Grady's signature variable-degree deadrise hull provides a sharp entry to slice through the "Sound chop" while maintaining incredible stability at rest.
Stable 8' 6" Beam: The 255 offers a spacious, open cockpit with more room for fishing and socializing than any other boat in its class.
Optimized Power: Command the water with a reliable Single Yamaha F300 or opt for the added redundancy and torque of Twin Yamaha F150s or F200s-providing the punch needed to run against the tide at the mouth of the Niantic River.
Advanced Tech & Navigation
The Freedom 255 features a modern, clean helm designed for total situational awareness. Through Boats Inc., we help you rig your build with the latest technology:
Digital Command Center: The dash is built to accommodate a Garmin 12-inch 8600-series touchscreen, putting your CHIRP sonar, high-definition radar, and engine data right at your fingertips.
Precision Maneuverability: Available with Yamaha Helm Master EX®, making docking at our Niantic waterfront or navigating tight slips effortless for boaters of all experience levels.
All-Weather Protection: Choose the optional hardtop with an integrated spreader light and front/side curtains to extend your season from early spring through the late fall run.
The Ultimate Social & Comfort Space
Deluxe Seating Options: Features Grady's patented Electrically Extendable Port Lounge Seat, allowing your passengers to transition from an upright position to a full-length lounger with the push of a button.
Luxury Amenities: The starboard console features a private, lockable head area with a storage closet, while the port console offers deep storage for all your beach and fishing gear.
Sandbar Ready: The 255 features an integrated swim platform with a four-step ladder and a transom door, making it easy for the family to get in and out of the water safely.
