The Grady-White 251 Coastal Explorer is built to go where most boats in its class simply can't. Designed on Grady's famous SeaV²® hull, this 25-foot coastal explorer delivers a noticeably smoother, more stable ride whether you're working the flats or pushing offshore for the day. It's a boat that balances serious fishability with the comfort and versatility your family will appreciate.
From the moment you step aboard, you'll notice the smart layout and quality craftsmanship Grady is known for. A large bow and stern casting platform give anglers the space to move, cast, and fight fish with confidence. Multiple insulated fish boxes, abundant rod storage, and twin livewells-including a deluxe 25-gallon livewell integrated into the lean bar-make the 251 CE fully rigged for a full day chasing redfish, trout, snapper, or whatever's biting.
When it's time to relax, the 251 CE transforms seamlessly. The bow seating features electromechanically adjustable backrests for lounging, while a wide aft bench seat offers comfortable seating with walk-through access to the water. A freshwater cockpit shower, plenty of storage for gear, and a stand-up console head ensure everyone stays comfortable from sunrise to sunset. The fiberglass T-top with integrated lighting and rod holders adds shade, function, and style.
Built with 100% hand-laid construction, a composite stringer system, stainless steel hardware, and a fully self-bailing cockpit, this boat is engineered for long-term durability and safety. Hydraulic trim tabs, Helm Master® EX digital steering, and thoughtful helm ergonomics make handling effortless in a wide range of conditions.
Whether you're chasing fish in shallow water, cruising the coastline, or anchoring at the sandbar for the afternoon, the Grady-White 251 Coastal Explorer is designed to make every day on the water better.
