2021 Costa Custom Boats 264HC Boat in Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 US

2021 Costa/Cayo 264HC Hybrid Catamaran - Twin Mercury 300 Pro XS - Full Tower - Simrad Electronics - AmeraTrail Trailer - $289,900

Overview

This 2021 Cayo-built 264HC is a rare opportunity to own one of the most aggressively equipped hybrid catamaran bay boats on the market.

The concept is simple: take the fishability and shallow-water versatility of a premium bay boat, add the stability, efficiency, deck space, and big-water capability of a catamaran platform, then rig it with serious power, electronics, tower controls, shallow-water anchoring, and offshore-ready systems. The result is a 26' hybrid cat that can run inshore, fish nearshore/offshore, sight fish from the tower, hold bottom with the trolling motor, anchor shallow with twin Power-Poles, and still offer a premium family-friendly layout.

Power comes from twin Mercury 300 Pro XS outboards showing 116 hours. The boat is equipped with SeaStar Optimus steering, dual jack plates, Mercury digital controls, Mercury VesselView integration, and strong performance numbers: approximately 67 MPH wide open at 6,100 RPM and an efficient cruise around 41 MPH at 4,000 RPM, returning approximately 2.19 MPG.

This package also includes a custom 2021 AmeraTrail tandem-axle aluminum trailer.

Asking $289,900.

Cayo / Costa Brand Note

Following the ownership/branding transition, this same 26'4" hybrid catamaran platform became widely known in the marketplace as the Costa Custom Boats 264HC. This distinction will be clearly disclosed and handled correctly in all documentation.

• WOT fuel economy: ~1.4 MPG
• Cruise: ~ 41 MPH at 4,000 RPM

The twin-engine catamaran layout gives the boat excellent low-speed maneuverability, and the engines are set wide apart for confident docking and close-quarters control. Dual jack plates and SeaStar Optimus steering further enhance the boat's handling and shallow-water capability.

Helm and Electronics

The main helm is one of the standout features of this boat. It is built around a massive Simrad NSO24 evo3S display that gives the helm a clean, modern, glass-bridge style layout.

The hardtop includes integrated rod holders, a Simrad radar dome, Rigid-style light bar, spreader lights, underside speakers, overhead lighting, and a clean Cayo-branded switch panel. The Strataglass enclosure helps protect the main helm area, and the upper-station access is clean and well designed.

Aft, the boat features dual pressurized livewells, a sea chest livewell system, twin Power-Pole Blades, wide cockpit space, removable aft backrests, raw and freshwater washdowns, tackle storage, rod storage, hardtop rod holders, and plenty of room to fight fish around the boat.
