Wow! Robalo 226 Cayman
Yamaha 200 with only 16 hours!
Stored indoors when not in use. Trailer included!
The Robalo 226 Cayman has everything you've come to expect from Robalo, including the efficient "extended V-Plane" hull that carries the running surface well past the transom.
Of course the most impressive feature of the 226 Cayman is in her ability to handle the shallow water flats along with Jon boats and skiffs on one day, and on the next, venture out into the inlets to venture offshore alongside the usual array of center consoles.
Her 15-degree deadrise provides her with the right balance of sea-keeping ability and shallow draft that makes this crossover possible.
Distinguishing features include Imedge Gel Coat. This premium gel coat resists fading, chalking and yellowing. Three 30-gallon (113.6 L) Livewells. Each one accommodates dividers for separating baits and each is insulated so they can be used as fishboxes as well.
Fiberglass Hardtop. Where others would go with a canvas T-top, Robalo went right to the fiberglass version with powder-coated rails and an electronics box. Color match the underside gel coat.
Forward Access to Head Compartment. This provides more room for entry than do the side access versions. It's also safer to enter when in a seaway.
Kevlar Reinforced Hull. This is a great feature for adding strength, and it's particularly attractive to those who like to beach their boats.
Saltwater Rigged. Between her ceramic-cored transom and stainless steel everywhere, this is a boat that will have no problem enduring a harsh saltwater environment.

Robalo 226 Cayman: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Robalo 226 Cayman is a 22-foot bay boat designed to navigate both shallow waters and unprotected coastal environments. The design team aimed to create a versatile vessel capable of accessing skinny water while maintaining solid offshore performance. This review by BowTest.com, led by Captain Steve, explores the boat's features, layout, and performance characteristics.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The 226 Cayman features a spacious forward casting deck accessed by two steps measuring eight and seven inches respectively. The deck spans 4 feet 6 inches at its center and extends 6 feet across, with extended legs on either side. Centrally located is one of three live wells, a 30-gallon insulated and gasketed compartment with an aerator that can double as a fish box. The aft casting deck measures 8 feet 1 inch wide, constructed entirely of fiberglass with a non-skid surface. All hardware is flush-mounted to minimize tripping hazards. The boat includes two rod holders at the stern and two cup holders that also serve as rod holders. On each side of the aft casting deck are two additional 30-gallon live wells, tinted blue and insulated, allowing for separation of bait with rounded dividers. This brings the total live well capacity to 90 gallons. A 5-gallon bucket is conveniently located in the port quarter for cast netters, with a hatch that opens inward for easy trailer access. The engine well includes a raw water washdown system. A flip-up rumble seat with a 20-inch high backrest and 42-inch width is positioned centrally on the casting deck, providing a comfortable, wind-protected seating option. The seat features articulating hinges for ample storage access, and an aft bulkhead compartment helps organize storage and battery access.
Side Decks and Storage
The side decks provide 15 and a half inches of space between the bolsters and the optional T-top rail. Notably, the 226 Cayman includes standard bolsters, which is uncommon for a 22-foot boat. Beneath these bolsters are rod holders designed to accommodate full-size offshore rods, with lockable latches for secure storage. The starboard side holds six rods, while the port side holds five. The rod storage hatches are front-hinged, allowing side access even when the boat is on a trailer, a thoughtful design improvement over typical side-opening hatches. A forward-facing seat adds to onboard comfort.
Console and Helm Features
The console interior is accessed via a forward-opening hatch and includes an optional porta-potty compartment. While functional, the reviewer suggests that concealing the aft bulkhead would improve aesthetics and safety in rough seas. The helm is equipped with several standard features rarely seen in this class, including digital gauges, stainless steel switches with integrated circuit breakers, a stereo remote control, and a centrally mounted GPS chartplotter. The curved windshield is distortion-free at the edges and mounted on an aluminum frame beneath, avoiding dirt accumulation and cracking common with side-mounted windshields. Two small padded cubbies with drainage are located port and starboard, one featuring a jack for phone or spotlight connections.
Optional T-Top and Seating
An optional fiberglass hardtop T-top is available, featuring powder-coated rails, an integrated handrail, spreader lights, and four rocket launcher rod holders across the rear. An electronics box is mounted above the helm. The leaning post includes a standard backrest, which is typically an upgrade on similar boats. Beneath the leaning post is a 54-quart Igloo cooler. The upholstery uses 36-ounce vinyl with a 10-ounce top coat, representing one of the highest quality grades in the industry.
Power and Performance
The standard engine for the 226 Cayman is a 150-horsepower unit, but the test boat was equipped with an upgraded 200-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke, with a maximum rating of 250 horsepower. Paired with a 17 by 14 and a quarter Reliance propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 45.4 miles per hour while consuming 19.4 gallons per hour. The most economical cruise occurred at 3,500 RPM and 24.8 miles per hour, reducing fuel consumption to 5.2 gallons per hour. This efficiency provides a range of 258 miles and an endurance of six hours and 24 minutes, maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The hull features Robalo's extended V-plane design with a reverse transom, which improves planing times and flotation. Stability was evident during side-to-side movement, with planing speed reached in 3.4 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 7.7 seconds. The 15-degree dead rise offers a balanced combination of offshore capability and a shallow 12-inch draft.
Handling and Ergonomics
Although the boat was not tested in rough sea conditions, experience with a smaller sister model suggests the 226 Cayman is well-suited for offshore environments beyond protected inlets. The boat demonstrated docile handling characteristics, carving smoothly through turns. The SeaStar hydraulic steering was noted to be somewhat stiff. Ergonomics at the helm were rated as excellent, contributing to an overall comfortable and functional driving experience.
Conclusion
The Robalo 226 Cayman presents a well-thought-out design for anglers seeking a versatile bay boat capable of handling both shallow waters and offshore conditions. Its spacious deck layout, ample live well capacity, thoughtful storage solutions, and quality construction details make it a practical choice. Powered by a reliable Yamaha engine, the boat delivers solid performance with efficient fuel consumption and stable handling. While minor aesthetic improvements could be made to the console area, the overall package reflects Robalo's commitment to functionality and durability in a 22-foot platform.
