THE RIDE

Offshore‑ready hulls for a smoother passage

A deeper offshore V‑hull gives these 27‑foot boats a steadier ride in open water, making them well suited for longer runs to reefs and offshore fishing grounds.

THE POWER

Twin Yamaha four‑strokes for range and reliability

Each boat is equipped with twin Yamaha F250 or F225 four‑stroke engines, delivering the performance needed for both inshore hops and offshore transit.

THE GEAR

Navigation, stereo and swim access included

Onboard systems include a 10″ Garmin color GPS with sounder and a Bluetooth stereo; every 27‑foot boat also comes with a dive ladder and a capacity to accommodate up to a dozen people.

What the day feels like

What a day (or week) on board feels like

These 27′ Whaler and EdgeWater hulls are set up for flexible days on the water — comfortable offshore runs when you want reef or wreck fishing, and nimble inshore cruises for flats and bay work. Modern navigation and audio systems and practical features like dive ladders keep the focus on fishing, diving, or simply cruising with friends and family.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this boat works best for — and who should think twice.

1
Offshore anglersWell suited: the deeper V‑hull and twin Yamaha power make these boats a practical choice for groups heading offshore to reefs or wrecks; configured for fishing and longer runs.
2
Families & groups of friendsGood match: the boats accommodate up to 12 people and include amenities like a Bluetooth stereo and dive ladder for swim stops, making them comfortable for shared days on the water.
3
Under‑age driversNot suitable: anyone under 25 is not eligible to drive the boat, so groups relying on younger drivers will need an older qualified skipper.

Bareboat renters planning logisticsPractical for self‑managed rentals: complimentary delivery and pickup are included and weekly rentals operate on a Saturday-to‑Saturday schedule, but planners should note the operator age requirement and seasonal booking windows.
