2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

The Tidewater 2500 CB is a coastal chameleon, perfectly tailored for the angler who refuses to choose between a shallow-water stalk and a nearshore adventure. With its impressive 9' 2" beam and a stable 25' 2" LOA, this boat is the ultimate platform for the social fisherman who wants to haul a serious crew without tripping over gear.

If your idea of a perfect Saturday involves sight-casting for reds in the morning and offshore reef hopping by lunch, the 2500 CB is your ride. The layout is a masterclass in storage, featuring a massive 100-gallon insulated box and multiple livewells-including a 30-gallon stern tank and a 12-gallon bow option-ensuring your bait stays lively and your catch stays cold. When the rods are stowed, the boat transforms into a luxury cruiser. The fiberglass T-top with a sleek glass enclosure provides plenty of shade, while the all-white cushions with black stitching and fold-down stern seating offer a plush spot to soak in the salt air.

For the tech-savvy captain, the black dash panel is loaded with a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv and a premium Fusion RA-770 sound system pumping through JL Audio speakers. Whether you are utilizing the T-H Atlas jack plate to skinny-up in the flats or engaging the Mercury Verado to cruise to the next honey hole, this boat delivers a smooth, high-performance experience that makes every moment on the water feel like a win.
