2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

If you live for the thrill of a tournament morning but still want a boat that rewards you with a sunset cruise, the Tidewater 2500 CB is your new best friend. This hybrid powerhouse is built for the angler who refuses to choose between a shallow-water sneak attack and a run offshore. With a massive 9' 2" beam, you have all the stability you need to dance around the deck while wrestling a trophy catch.

Serious fishability is baked into every inch, featuring a 100-gallon insulated box for the big haul and multiple livewells-including dual 10-gallon stern wells and a dedicated 25-gallon livewell-to keep your bait lively all day long. When it's time to switch gears from "pro-angler" to "weekend host," the 2500 CB shines with its plush bow seating, recessed cushions, and fold-down seats that transform the workspace into a social lounge.

The Yamaha F 300 XCB provides plenty of punch to get you to the secret spots first, while the fiberglass T-top with integrated misters keeps the vibe cool when the bite gets hot. Whether you are throwing a cast net from the dedicated storage area or using the swim platform for a midday dip, this boat is the ultimate multipurpose tool for the coastal lifestyle. It's everything you need for a sun-drenched day on the water.
