Features
Manufacturer Provided Description

Designed to take inshore/offshore fishing capabilities to another level, the 246's Extended V-Plane hull design can easily navigate both shallow water fishing holes and big water destinations. Simply stated, where ever they're biting, the 246 can speed you there. The boat's wide deck layout combined with excess hull flare, delivers more fishing space, stability and a dryer ride than rivals. The 246 simply won't back down no matter what Mother Nature dishes out. Robalo leaves no detail uncovered. Innovative hideaway seating says welcome aboard then converts to the ultimate fishing machine with huge casting decks forward and aft. Lockable rod storage and live bait well capacity is best in class. The best helm design in this size range features Yamaha digital gauges with advanced electronics. A complete array of stainless steel hardware is a cut above. The 246 is equally impressive under the gelcoat with Kevlar reinforcement, rot free construction and a poured composite transom.

Robalo 246 Cayman: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Relo 2 46 Cayman is the most popular model in Roberto's lineup, designed as a versatile bay boat with thoughtful features and strong performance. Measuring 24 feet 6 inches in length with a 9-foot beam and a shallow 16-inch draft, this vessel balances maneuverability and stability. Powered by a single Yamaha 300 V6 engine, it offers a compelling combination of speed, responsiveness, and comfort for anglers and recreational boaters alike.

Power and Performance

During testing, the 2 46 Cayman demonstrated impressive acceleration and handling characteristics. It reached plane in 4.8 seconds from zero to 20 miles per hour, 5.7 seconds to 20 mph, and 8.3 seconds to 30 mph. The Yamaha 300 V6 engine peaked at 5,900 RPM, delivering a top speed of 48.5 miles per hour. Optimal cruising speed was identified at 3,500 RPM, achieving 28.2 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of 8.6 gallons per hour, translating to 3.28 miles per gallon and an estimated range of 265 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve from the 90-gallon tank. The boat handled wakes and chop with ease, maintaining steadiness and responsiveness without prop ventilation. Its shallow draft hull design results in some sliding during aggressive turns but offers full control and makes it suitable for both bay and offshore conditions on appropriate days.

Exterior Design and Helm

The helm features excellent visibility through flat tempered glass and an integrated T-top that blends seamlessly into the console, avoiding obstruction in the aisles. The oversized T-top provides ample shade, a welcome feature for bay boating, and includes four rod holders, spreader lights, and an overhead electronics box. The helm is equipped with a sturdy stainless steel adjustable wheel, dual 12-inch Simrad screens custom flush-mounted on both sides, backlit stainless steel switches with fuses, trim tab controls, a 12-volt outlet, wireless phone charger, dual USB ports, a Cion stereo head unit, two stainless cup holders, a glove box, keys, Yamaha engine screen, and engine controls. The use of silicone-based upholstery throughout resists mold and mildew, maintaining a fresh appearance longer than traditional vinyl. Seating includes flip-up armrests, side cushions, flip-up bolsters, and a molded footrest with adjustable positions, complemented by an Olo-branded anti-fatigue mat.

Fishing and Deck Features

The 2 46 Cayman is well-equipped for anglers with numerous rod holders located on the T-top, leaning post backrest, and cap rails. The cap rails are notably wide at 10 inches, allowing safe passage around the boat. The boat features a custom cooler secured under the helm seat with latches to prevent movement underway. The casting deck provides ample space for two anglers, with two five-gallon bucket compartments for storage. Tension hinges on most hatches hold them securely open, enhancing convenience and durability. Large insulated live wells with molded dividers keep bait separated and alive longer, and Yeti-style plugs improve drainage reliability. Forward seating is recessed into the casting platform with padded, curved edges to enhance safety and comfort, especially for children. Removable backrests, cup holders, JL Audio speakers, and a removable table convert the forward area into a sun pad or expanded casting deck. Stainless steel pop-up cleats and well-finished hatch undersides reflect attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Mechanical and Maintenance Access

Maintenance is facilitated by excellent access to the bilge and mechanical components. The battery switch features dual crossover for two standard batteries, which are securely strapped and easily removable. Electrical wiring is protected with sheathing to prevent chafing, and through-hole ball valves are reachable for quick shutoff. The boat uses quality components throughout, including full stainless steel gas support with a safety latch, underscoring the builder's commitment to durability and ease of service.

Customization and Options

Roberto offers extensive customization options through their website, allowing buyers to tailor the 2 46 Cayman to their preferences. Choices include eight hull gel coat colors, engine options of 250 or 300 horsepower, and selections between hydraulic or digital steering. Upholstery is available in seven three-tone color schemes at no additional charge. The T-top is optional but highly recommended for shade and glare reduction, with seven dark tone options for the overhead. Additional factory-installed options include a multifunction display with sonar for just over $5,000, a JL Audio stereo system professionally installed, a Minn Kota trolling motor for $4,000, and trim tabs for improved balance. The boat comes standard with a tandem axle trailer, completing a well-rounded package.

Conclusion

The Relo 2 46 Cayman presents a thoughtfully designed bay boat that combines strong performance, practical fishing features, and quality craftsmanship. Its shallow draft hull, powerful Yamaha engine, and well-appointed helm make it versatile for both inshore and occasional offshore use. Attention to detail in upholstery, storage solutions, and maintenance access enhance the ownership experience. With customizable options and a robust standard package, the 2 46 Cayman offers a compelling choice for anglers and recreational boaters seeking a reliable and enjoyable vessel.
